there are random scrubs out there like SUns 59th pick George King

but i assure you Rawlie Alkins is not random...
- i saw him as high as late 1st round picks for mock drafts this year
- He played on the same team as number 1 pick Ayton (A lot of tv time)
- He worked out with the raptors last year/was part of the combine last year

he is relatively well known in NCAA

Show me one mock draft that had him as a late first round pick. The man is a scrub. There's a reason he went undrafted. He's getting zero minutes on the team, and if he is there's a problem. He got a training camp invite, there's a strong chance he dosent even make the team, and if does it'll be on a 2 way. Smh hyping up garbage prospects stop

Love this quote from Rawle Alkins

. The more people you take things from the more versatile you become and the harder you are to guard. They won't know where you're getting stuff from. So I try to watch guys like Dwyane Wade, Donovan Mitchell, but honestly I tell teams I want to be seen as a guard version of Draymond Green.

On fansided he's ranked as one of the top 5 undrafted players.

Despite reports, he has not signed an Exhibit 10 or Two-Way contract with the team

I will vouche that I recall Alkins being projected as high as the late 1st round along with Trier, thouhg it might've been early in the college season not necessarily the calender year.

SI.com had him at #28.

I saw him higher up than that in 2017.

Only reason I know about this guy is because of the scouting report I got from my scout in 2K and it sounded like he'd be a great addition to my team. Guess whoever creates those draft class downloads knows their stuff.

i was shocked that Brandon McCoy (Jelani's son, great freshman season at UNLV, outplayed ayton head-to-head in college).....

was reading the Las Vegas newspaper's UNLV basketball beat writer and he said (paraphrase) that "all NBA teams have watched many of his games over and over again... he did not slip through the cracks"..... i think he's completely right even though i love playing amateur talent scout.

everything i said about Brandon would apply to Rawle too

That mock was from last offseason, click the link and he's not even in the two round updated mock. They were projecting him to show at least some improvement from last year but he ended up having a worse season, his shootings and rebounding was down even though Arizona was an imaproved team with better spacing. Still a decent pick pick up for a updrafted player but it's silly to expect anything other than a camp body/g league talent.

McCoy's game just doesn't fit today's game, that and he had a poor second half of the season after going 20/10 the first half.

Wouldn’t say top 5. Mid to late first rounder. Was said to be a lottery pick earlier on. Still a steal.

He's just undersized. Good off the bench.

He was coming off an injury
