80. "He was expected to do what he did in the tourney for a whole season." In response to In response to 78
If he'd done that, looking at who went late lotto this draft, it's hard to imagine he wouldn't have gone there.
However, looking back, the mocks for 2014 that had him still lotto were all before his back injury in September. Most pundits didn't start really releasing official mocks until September, after news had broken about the injury and more hype around the freshmen class had spread (with Chad Ford hyping Wayne Selden Jr. and Chris Walker as one-and-done lotto picks), so yeah, he was projected mid-1st at best after that.
