Kind of depends on the team/need. Kaminsky could go top ten or bottom end of the lottery. Dekker anywhere 10-20. I don't expect either to fall too far because they've really raised their profile.

Dekker is most likely to go early to mid lotto and Kaminsky late lotto to late first.

I could see Charlotte falling in love with Kaminsky @10, Dekker mid teens after his tournament thus far.

i think Dekker showed some grit and skills that many people didnt see throughout the year. I think he got himself to mid 1st, and Frank will be mid-first too.

Reggie just called Dekker some version of Kevin Durant. What? If that's true he's gonna move up i bet.

thanks. I pepped up when i heard the KD mention and didn't catch all of what he said. I was like, "did he just compare one of them to Durant? I didn't see all that."

I will have to pay attention closer Monday night.

Dekker is one of those players that does everything good but nothing great. He has decent handles, is a good straight line driver, finishes at 75% at the rim this year, finally getting his 3 to go down (growth spurt in college messed up his form), solid defender, and good passer. Dekker has grown to inches in college from 6'7 up to 6'9 and talk of even 6'10 at this point, so his form on his three hasn't been consistent except this year. What I like the most about him is the ice water in his veins in the clutch moments of the game, the kid has that it factor when it comes to that. Dekker is going to make his money at the combine if he measures in at 6'10 and shows off his athletic talent.

Can Dekker be a Hedo type player?

Looks like he could to me. Hedo/Parsons type player.

I think these are good comparisons for him to try and live up to. Until a recent surge in the mocks, he was a constant around the #20 pick. He is playing well at the right time and if he continues to shine in draft workouts he can easily be a great lottery pickup. I just shake my head at the people who have started talking about him as a target for our pick.

Stay classy andrew Harrison, I can only imagine the media attention if the roles were reversed

I hope Wisconsin finishes this off

All the calls are going Wisconsin's way, same as it did last 10 minutes of the Kentucky game. Refs need to be more consistent.

Just dont like what im seeing from Okafor. Hes really quite bad whenever he plays against size. Even Kaminsky who isnt a defender is giving him big trouble down low. Add to that the fact he is not a defensive presence and hes not a #1 pick in my view.

damn, I really wanted Wisconsin to win. Really thought the refs played a huge part in the end of the game, but still props to Duke. It's disappointing that a few missed calls can make such a difference but oh well. Duke still played well and hit a few big shots.

I honestly didn't care, just wanted Kentucky to lose.
