Latest Kevin O’Connor mock has McCain 14, Filipowski 27.

Filipowski needs to land somewhere, right? I can’t help but wonder whether another year of school would be best for him so that he could be paired with Cooper Flagg, Duke’s incoming top-ranked high school prospect. But if Filipowski stays in the draft, then the Jazz would be a good landing spot because of Will Hardy’s ability to get the most out of his frontcourt pieces.

McCain 14??? I swear this isn’t one of those “run the Duke guy down to convince myself he should come back” things, but it’s hard for me to see him ever making a big impact in the NBA. His lack of handle and quickness at his size are severely limiting vs pros, no? Admittedly, I don’t watch as much NBA as a lot of you all, so who is a good NBA comp for McCain?

It’s just that terrible of a draft. I don’t think any of the guys being mocked ahead of McCain are strictly better prospects than McCain.

OAD lotto pick. Not good enough to satisfy Duke fans as starting SG next season, though.

Seems like if he was a little more athletic he would be a top 10 player. Crazy he’s Dukes 6th best prospect by ranking.
