Karl Towns (Kentucky)
Jahlil Okafor (Duke)
D'Angelo Russell (Ohio State)

Justise Winslow (Duke)
Emmanuel Mudiay (Democratic Republic of Congo)

My vote is Jerian Grant.

That's a pretty solid list with no real surprises. Hunter, Wright, and Jones were also invited but declined their invites. Hezonja was too but his team will still be playing if they win Wednesday so his status is up in the air.

For me it's definitely between the last three or four guys on the list for who lasts the longest. My guess is Looney given the strength of the PF class in that range. I think wings and point guards will typically be picked higher as well.

Man oubre has fallen. It's all his effort level as well. It's hard to unlearn lazy.

When you pick up a reputation for being lazy, and not having a love for the game, it's going to be hard to shake-regardless of whether it's true or not.

Am I missing something? How does this illustrate Oubre has fallen?

How are you relating a green room invite list as a draft stock indicator?

In the initial question, it was asked, who gets picked last. This was my musings, on oubre. I remember people speaking highly of him, and now, he could be bottom 4 picked on this "green room" list.

Eh, Oubre is still a lottery pick. Id be shocked if we went after guys like Grant, Dekker, Kaminsky, Looney, RHJ, Lyles, Portis.
