Iowa State Cyclones power forward Craig Brackins could be selected in the first round of the NBA Draft. With the draft mere hours away, time will soon tell.
Brackins is projected to go anywhere from late in the first round to somewhere in the early second. The difference is huge in terms of money and also the kind of team Brackins may end up playing for.
A late first round pick could mean a reserve role on a team with NBA title hopes while an early second round selection might mean more playing time for a bottom feeder.
Brackins saw his stock fall this year because of inconsistency. He needs the effort to be there every night to be a quality player in the league.
