Jared Goff made NFL revenge history with the Lions. While none of the top prospects in this year’s class have visited the Hawks yet, O’Connor writes that this is expected to change as the draft approaches. Zaccharie Risacher mentioned today that he will soon travel to the U.S. to visit NBA teams, with John Hollinger of The Athletic speculating that Atlanta could be his first stop.
O’Connor’s sources indicate that Providence guard Devin Carter, ranked No. 13 on ESPN’s big board, has received a promise from a team within the lottery. O’Connor is unsure which team made the promise, though he predicts Carter will go to Chicago at No. 11 in his latest mock draft.
Kansas’ Johnny Furphy is noted as one of the “biggest risers of the pre-draft process.” Furphy is now ranked No. 18 on ESPN’s big board, but O’Connor places him at No. 24 in his mock draft.
Spanish point guard Juan Nunez, who declared for the draft as an early entrant, is still undecided about withdrawing before the NBA’s June 16 deadline. He’s leaning toward staying in the draft and has worked out for the Timberwolves and Bucks, according to a tweet from Jonathan Givony of ESPN. Nunez is ranked No. 37 on ESPN’s board.
