If we could combine Keon's athleticism with Corey's shooting, we'd be talking about an elite Top 6!
You know, Keon didnt declare yet unlike his teammate Springer
Once he does declare, it looks like most mocks are recognizing him as the 6th pick.
Springer is interesting, because he's not even close to being 19 yet. Plus his brother's are 6'6" and 6'9", leaving the possibility that he may grow more.

Springer has some nice HS footage, but I don't know what we'd do with him. I don't see him growing more and I doubt he's even 6'4. Probably 6'2.75. He's too similar to Cole Anthony and will probably be drafted in the similar range. Compact and physical...nice handle, but plays below the rim unlike Keon. I don't think he can have success with his style of play in the NBA because he likes to play inside the arch and carve his way to the basket, but I think that'll just lead up to a lot of blocked shots on the next level. I like a lot of other guys ahead of him.
One of them is Ayo Dosunmu, 6'5 SG with a 6'9 wingspan. Plays really fast but under control. A lot of guys who play fast are wild, but Ayo stays within himself. His handle is surprisingly good. He's great playing Pn'R as a passer and that would translate really well for our big men. .386 3PT% (but needs more volume), .783 FT%, gets to the FT line a lot, plays defense... exactly what you'd hope for with a late lottery gamble. I'd gladly take him with our CHI pick.
