UK freshman Skal Labissiere fell four spots in the latest mock draft from DraftExpress.com, which also dropped Marcus Lee out of the Top 60 altogether.
Labissiere is now projected as the No. 10 overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, down from No. 6 in the previous update two weeks ago. Fellow UK freshman Jamal Murray, who moved up one spot to No. 8 overall, is now the top Wildcat on the DraftExpress.com board.
Freshman Isaiah Briscoe dropped one spot to No. 32 overall, and sophomore point guard Tyler Ulis fell four spots to No. 51 overall.
Junior Marcus Lee, who was No. 56 overall in the previous mock draft, is no longer projected as an NBA Draft pick this year. He’s listed as the No. 74 draft-eligible player on DraftExpress.com’s list of Top 100 prospects.

I have said for the last month that I did not feel Lee, Alex or Willis would be drafted and I still believe that. I wish for their sake and ours at UK that they were better suited to play NBA basketball but they just do not appear to have the consistency and overall skills needed to earn a living on the basketball court. Hopefully all are getting good educations at UK. I am not suprised that Skal's draft status is dropping. He has some skills but just does not know how to use them at the college level as of yet.

I was totally wrong about Tayshaun Prince, when he went to the pros. I thought he would get pushed around and be part time player, at best. He ended up being an all star and a major contributor on a championship team.
Skal is slight of frame, like Prince, but he just doesn't rebound. I am as far from an NBA scout as you can get, but if I were, I would be most concerned about his lack rebounding and toughness, to take a chance on drafting him.

Tay is still playing and has had a very long and durable NBA career. [ 02-09-2016, 04:17 PM: Message edited by: catmandoo ]

Skal doesn't have a three point shot like Tay did either!

Skal is a inside player for sure.

He's a better scorer from 12-15 feet away though!

Skal job is around the basket and doesn't need to be any place else.

We have plenty of good shooters from 15 feet but we don't have a lot of bigs that can play down low.

Losing Poy really hurts our inside game for sure.

If Lee can stay out of foul trouble he will see more playing time!

That is true MH, we don't have to many bigs like Poy or Lee.

Yeah, we are kind of thin in that area, especially with experience!

I just hope Poy is healthy as Cal didn't play him again last night. It will take him a few games to get back to normal and that is if he has healed properly.

I was hearing last night that his other knee was scoped and something done to the miniscus. Also he should be out 10-14 days. I can't confirm this but it's what I heard. I'm thinking this is about the end of Poythress' career. Time has just about run out for him.
