Who wants to take a guess where players X and Y were drafted?


Player X is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who was drafted 11th overall to the Clippers

Player Y is Dillon Brooks who stayed an extra year and was drafted in the second round in the 45th pick

Nickeil is not, and should not stay another year. Your stock goes down exponentially once you become a Junior, save for a handful of cases such as Buddy Hield, but Buddy Hield was never projected in the lottery prior to his senior season
