Final mock draft before NBA Draft
We wouldn’t blame anyone for not realizing that the NBA Draft has not yet happened and is going to occur on Nov. 18 for a college season that ended in mid-March and then the NBA season that was pushed back months and playing games out in the Orlando Bubble.
The draft process has been quite different with no in-person combine and workouts have been done in a variety of different ways. This makes getting that extra research to make the difference between a handful of candidates a bit more challenging.
There are three Mountain West players who have a shot to be drafted and they are Utah State’s Sam Merrill, San Diego State’s Malachi Flynn, and Nevada’s Jalen Harris. A fourth and a long shot is Boise State’s Justinian Jessup.
