    The highest I've seen Condon in a mock draft is #31 with the first pick in the 2nd. Sounds like if he gets a first round guarantee, then he takes it but I'm not sure that will happen.

    He will be a lottery pick next year if he comes back. Hope he bets on himself to achieve something greater, professionally, and perhaps legendary here in Gainesville.

    As I say (but I can't say for sure), what is missing in all this is the expected influx of weird athletically gifted Euro players who get selected instead of the college kids who are auditioning right now. I still say that if you are not one of the first 15 selections, you go back to school if you can. Otherwise, your 16th pick projection can become your 31st pick in reality.

    C'mon Alex, time to party with your brethren...

    Why do you say that athletically gifted Euro players are weird?

    They play a game that does not translate as well as college players. Like Jokic. He is massive but for some reason he is not the difference for a championship. For me, the best rendition of The Man, European style, is Nowitzki. And it took a couple of shots to the chops for him to realize he needed to change up his game. Otherwise they are gifted but not elite. The Greens of the league turn them into jello. JMHO
