I would think a first round draft pick would be dominating in every game he played. I didnt see that from him, most nights he wasnt even a top 4 player in the game being played let alone top 30 prospects.

That's not how it works. NBA personnel aren't only looking at productivity. They're projecting what the player could be. I agree that he had some games where he was almost invisible but he had his moments where it was impossible to not see the NBA potential. Just needs to develop some.

You don’t have to dominate every game, but I agree you have to show a little more than he did. I think Talen will end up somewhere around 37-42 or so in the 2nd round.

If Prohm can place a kid into the First Round as a One-and-Done, no matter your thoughts on if he should go, would be huge for our programs recruiting ability.

Have to be able to do it without being a dumpster fire in between though or that will work against us on that front.

Potentially losing 5 of our top 7 from this year is... worrisome to say the least.

we can still have hope for next year. texas tech lost a bunch after last year and used the transfer market to fill in important pieces for this year. seems to have worked well for them...

get out there an fill some roster holes CSP!

I expected this all year, his college struggles had very little impact on his draft status as it was all based on potential anyway. I don't see him being on an NBA roster next year but hopefully after some G League success he can stick in the future. The pressure is really on Prohm because he got a pass for the 2017-2018 season to rebuild the roster and if he misses on transfers/recruits to fill these open scholarships, I fear it could look similar next year.
