I just looked at some mock drafts for the 2019 NBA draft and didn't see any Gophers listed. Not entirely surprised, obviously. But with Jordan Murphy entering his final season and Amir Coffey being a potential NBA player, figured I would start a thread dedicated to their path to the draft.
I know Coach Pitino said during the Big 10 Media Day that Murphy has NBA ambitions. He has an uphill battle considering he is like a 6'6 PF. Not a lot of NBA comparisons on that front.
Coffey also has some limitations. He is 6'6 but has a 6'4 wingspan.. With the way the NBA is moving, seems like teams prefer raw athletes over skilled wingman.. If Coffey leads us to a March Madness birth, I could see him getting some love from NBA scouts though..
What do you guys think about their chances? Do you think Oturu may one day become a NBA prospect?
