Nik is also 6'6" and shot 45% from 3. I'm not saying he should be picked that high, but there is a spot for guys who can stand in the corner and nail 3's.doogsinparadise said:Yet Nik fucking Stauskas was picked eighth?

I met NWG's sister in Vegas randomly. I don't remember which casino she was working at, but I was wearing UW gear (I'm cool like that) and she said her brother played on the UW bball team. According to her, he almost left for the draft last year. I think he's gone ASAP.dhdawg said:He isn't going to improve his draft stock unless he improves his jumper. If his draft stock is all he's concerned with (which is probably the case) goss is gone, but there are a few kids who do decide to stick around for whatever reason, so it's possible however unlikely

NWG will be a late first/second round pick. He will have a better career than most the guys picked ahead of him too.

He's not even listed as a 2nd round pick in any mock drafts currently.RoadDawg55 said:NWG will be a late first/second round pick. He will have a better career than most the guys picked ahead of him too.

I get what you're saying. But isn't it odd that literally zero mock drafts include him, and yet here you are proclaiming him a 1st round pick? As dnc said, he's not even in Chad Ford's top 100 prospects. You can blame that on media bias or lack of exposure if you want. But surely someone, somewhere, would have him on a list. I guess you're that special someone. I'd recommend taking off the purple tinted glasses.RoadDawg55 said:

Just enjoy his time at UW. He is playing well and leading this team. -
It's pretty doogish to say that our guy is a lock for the 1st round just b/c he's good in college. Guys can be built for different levels and NWG appears to be a guy who can be very successful in college, but the nba? Really, go through rosters in the nba and tell me he'd be competing against night in and night out.

I love NWG just as much as any other husky, but i can't say he's betting out any of those guys for a spot in the league.
If i'm drafting a PG in the 1st round I expect him to be able to play. I just don't see that with NWG.
He's done an amazing job of proving everyone wrong though so far. -
None of the lists have NWG coming out after this year. He will go up as the season goes on and UW gets recognized for hopefully being a good team. If he was on Kentucky, Duke, or Syracuse do to you think he still wouldn't be ranked? Same thing if he was ranked a 5 star player out of high school. That's what these mock drafts are mostly based on.ThomasFremont said:

I'm not sure he's a first rounder. I never have been. He will play in the NBA though and will get picked. I could go through those mock drafts and find a lot of player nowhere near as good as Goss. I'll start with the Harrison twins at Kentucky. The only other UW player that I cared about where he was drafted was Isaiah. He should have been picked a round higher. -
So if you are not gonna be a 1st rounder, what is the advantage of entering the draft early, as NWG is possibly looking to do? It's not like he is turning down guaranteed lottery pick money.RoadDawg55 said:

My contention all along has been that he should be a 4 year college player.
