Pretty sure before his injury I was seeing every mock with him at #1, and even shortly after his injury people were saying definitely top 3. Then he drops to 14.

Just saying injuries can affect draft stock more than people think.

If Zion suffered an injury that scouts thought would significantly affect the way he plays and be hard for him to come back from 100%, like a lingering back issue or something, it could definitely have a significant effect on his draft position.


I don't think he was a big of a lock like Zion is. Also, This draft it weak. Wouldn't suprise me if Cavs or Knicks still take him.

MPJ was the consensus #1 overall high school prospect.
He didn't have the AW hype.

No one said injuries don't effect where a player is drafted.
Stay on topic.

Dude his teammate Bagley had his own case for the #1 pick in that years draft before MPJ got hurt.
Just stop. You lose like the Lions have for the past century.

Literally look up any article about mpj and the draft, they all talk about how he dropped from 1 to 14 lol

You’re so pretentious and yet so wrong all the time lol, I bet you and malidry get along well huh


Also his own teammate? Bagley played for Duke. You literally don’t even watch basketball, please stop talking.

What realistic injury would make him not the No. 1 pick?

On the plus side, if he can't play again, he can probably get a decent liability settlement.

He’s injury insured for $8mil if he drops past 16th in the draft
