Nah, just getting an evaluation like Stokes and Brown did.

I can see him going in the late rounds, maybe 4th if he has a good pro day.

Yes. I missed it too. He has to be gE'ing.

If he hears he'll be a first-rounder, I assume he's gone.

He's not going to hear that, so you don't have to assume it.

Not worried. I's be exceedingly pleased for him.

Agreed. I think he's undersized though. I follow this site every year. You can see 2022 and 2023 mocks here. Great site for it:

I can't see Nijel Pack playing a single second in the NBA. He'll make a lot of money playing pro basketball though. Markus Howard is the shortest player in the NBA right now, 5'10", and I don't know if y'all remember him, we played him when he was at Marquette, but he had pro game. Nijel isn't even a college point guard under 6'0".

Howard was a walking bucket.

I agree, but three-point shooting has become such an asset in the NBA. I think there might be a spot for him, but I don't see first-round. Given that league money probably isn't in his future, we need to develop an NIL that will reward him for the basketball years he give K-State.

His game, as of right now, isn't conducive to getting a shot off in the NBA. Most guys guarding him would be 6'5" 6'6" and he isn't quick enough, right now.

Agreed, last NBA game I IRL saw this season they had Claws hovering Trae Young (actual pure shooter) for the whole game. Trae has a floater and a mid range game too and they designated a 6’6” dude to guard him the whole game.

Also man, if Beasley couldn't see the floor because of his defense, oof for Nijel.
