The Sporting News has updated their NBA Mock Draft and Kentucky’s Nerlens Noel is projected #1 Archie Goodwin is at #22.
Here is the reasoning behind the rankings:
1. Orlando. Nerlens Noel, PF, Kentucky. Noel may be out with an ACL injury, and he might not be ready for the start of the season. But the consensus is that he remains the best player in the draft.
22. Brooklyn. Archie Goodwin, SG, Kentucky. Goodwin was inconsistent at Kentucky, but he closed the season strong and his potential makes him a worthwhile gamble. He is big (6-5), averaged 14.1 points and doesn’t turn 19 until August.
Look on Nation of Blue tomorrow as the media will be speaking with Nerlens Noel and we will see how his rehab is going, how tough of a decision it was to leave for the NBA and I am sure we will hear a lot of love for the BBN.
