Hmmm. Another three viewpoints. I know that we all are rooting for him. We'll just have to be patient and wait.

I have no idea where Early will go in the draft. I am confident that his skill-set is perfect for the NBA and whichever team selects him is getting a steal.

USA Today mock draft has him in the 1st round at number 20.

I've seen him as high as #12 and as low as undrafted. I think 1st round in the 20-28 range is logical.

From what I'm hearing, he didn't have the strongest draft combine. I think that's why a lot of the top guys in the draft didn't do the combine. They didn't want to hurt their stock.

Per Bleacherreport that is correct. He did very well in the athletic drills like agility and vertical, but not great in the shooting drills.

This one has Cle at #16. Lots of praise for Doug and Cle.

Hmmmm just as I predicted... 2nd round. Baker has a long way to go if Early is getting picked in the 2nd round. Not knocking the guy. I hope he represents the MVC well but the NBA is a completely different ball game.

There were a lot of things that happened that led to Early being in the 2nd round, not the least of which was the deepest draft in at least a decade. He also fell below his talent level, and basically every publication in the country proceeded to call him the 'steal' of the draft. Early is just outside the lottery in most drafts.

Also, I loved Early, and he was a tremendous player and athlete, but Baker is better at basketball. That doesn't mean he'll go in the first round, or even get drafted at all, but I'm pretty sure his talent will get him a pretty serious look.

It also hurt Early that most of the teams the last 1/2-1/-3 of the first round had no cap space and were drafting to stash players/picks.
