2018 Draft Notes
The top pick in the 2018 Draft will be one of these three players. Vince McCracken, Marquell Rodgers and Stephen Flint are the top prospects available. All 3 should be near franchise level talents and who goes 1 is probably going to be predicated mostly on team need. Obviously Stephen Flint’s Naval commitment could drop his value some but other then that all 3 are about equal. Flint is a rugged interior player and rebounder with big upside. Marquell Rodgers is a multi talented PF that is extremely raw. Vince McCracken is a super scorer with amazing athleticism and very good upside.
