Do you remember the time that they traded away Chris Paul and Ayton but brought back Beal?

That might have had something to do with it.

The Athletic's Top 10 Draft Prospects as of Today:

1Cooper FlaggDukeW/F186-8
2Dylan HarperRutgersG196-6
3Ace BaileyRutgersW186-10
4V.J. EdgecombeBaylorG196-3
5Kasparas JakucionisIllinoisG196-5
6Kon KnueppelDukeW196-6
7Liam McNeeleyConnecticutW196-6
8Derik QueenMarylandC206-9
9Collin Murray-BoylesSouth CarolinaW/F196-7
10Tre JohnsonTexasG196-5

And the Sam Vecenie goes on to say

Flagg’s value as a franchise cornerstone means these teams should still be doing everything they can to position themselves for the best odds. But if you’re the team that finishes at No. 6, I’m not convinced yet that this class will provide the normal, commensurate value with such a selection. I also have a healthy degree of skepticism on the depth of this class, as sources across the college basketball ecosystem continue to discuss how the environment will be more flush with cash than ever before to persuade older players to stick around on campus.
 
Tre Johnson at 10th is something....

He's 3rd among all lottery prospects in OBPM to Flagg & Newell and is on a fucking tear right now. 26ppg over his last 9 games on good shooting efficiency.

Bailey has gone back to being shit since Harper came back from injury. Edgecomb's jumper improvement hit a wall with a 3/22 stretch over a bunch of games. Shot 5/8 the other night though, so it's probably not a huge red flag going forward.

To his point about the depth of the class....I dunno if I agree. There might be a few guys projected for the 20's who are worried about slipping out of the 1st round who take that NIL money and stay another year. But there are a lot of examples of guys who stayed a year too long as well and saw their draft stock slip further the following year. Anyone who is sure they're going in the 1st round would be dumb to stay in the NCAA.
