Most of these have updated today:

SI has THT going 25th to the Cavs

Bleacher Report also has THT going 25th to the Cavs
https://bleacherreport.com/articles...-1st-round-predictions-entering-march-madness

CBS has THT going 22nd to the Celtics

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/...virtual-lock-and-then-things-get-interesting/

The Sporting New has THT going 24th to the Pacers

NBAdraft.net has nobody going in the 1st 2 rounds from ISU.

Seems like we better brace for the very real chance that he gets a 1st round guarantee from somebody. Hopefully Shayok gets a 2nd round flyer, and hopefully Wiggs decides to give it another go. At least Haliburton isn't listed on any of these and will hopefully not decide to test the waters...

Wow....his youth and upside must have really made impressions. I hope he has good council and can get feedback that helps him make a wise with the loss of scoring on our team, you'd think next year he could really shine in our offense.

Interesting not to see Wiggy.....he could be a reason why a THT decides NOT to come back.

I would love if Wiggy came back and could be "the man" next year with THT, Halli, Jake really rounding out a solid line up.

It would be very good to have THT actually be a first round one and done, and Shayok drafted at all. Probably means THT plays very well this week and Prohm can sell that in recruiting.

Agree, our current class is very respectable but ranked 9th in the Big12, nice if we could add 1 or 2 more high quality recruits to keep up with the Jones's

Why wouldn't you want Tyrese to test the waters? It'd be good for him to learn firsthand from basketball minds what he needs to work on to be better next season.

I'll add in ESPN's latest mock THT is listed at #18 and Pelton's projection model have him as the 9th best prospect in the nation (BTW Tyrese is 6th).

I think most have realized at this point Talen will likely be a back half of the NBA prospect and has been since Maui. No reason to stress over it right now, just enjoy his tourney performance in March and see. The real question is what do THT and his family want for him. They may believe he needs to improve and the best situation for him is to return for another year to mature or it may be best for him do that in the league an set his family up long term. I'll be happy for him either way.

The feedback he'll get back from scouts during the draft procees after the year will be a major factor on if he stays or goes much like Lindell last year.

Sounded like THT's head was already in the NBA clouds, so I'd guess its highly likely he's gone. I hope Lindell comes back and Halliburton gets some good feedback through the process. I'm mainly worried that Lindell decides to give it a go through the G-League. We'd be in need of a big time transfer in that scenario.

Can they still declare and get feedback on what they need to work on then come back to school?

As of now I think THT will be gone. He’s obviously has a lot of upside, we’ve gotten a glimpse of that. Plus I can’t watch a game anymore without announcers drooling over his 7’1” wingspan. Will be interesting to see what team he lands with.

While it would stink losing THT after one year, especially when he can probably take his game even higher next year, it isn't a bad thing all in all. Goes to show that Prohm runs a program that can get talent noticed and into the NBA, even when they aren't the primary feature of your team. Seems like most of those guys projected in the first round are a very key component for there team, while THT seems to be our third/fourth option for scoring right now.

The NBA draft is a crazy thing. Clearly all about potential, because THT is far from a polished player at this point

Toil in the leagues and learn how to be a pro is often cited while making some money. I like the guys who make deep connections with school teammates. They want to play and accomplish more then go pro. Either way, Wig and THT, are very welcome to return.

I'm not surprised about Wigginton. Both this year and last year what are you drafting on? He's not some crazy physical freak with size or speed. His cumulative stats are good but not outstanding while his efficiency stats are mediocre.. Hasn't shown the ability to be a true PG.

I know he had a lot of hype coming into ISU but since being on campus he's looked like a player that plays all 4 years having a great college career before getting his shot in the NBA.
