3 Talking Points from the NBA Draft 2019

#2 The quality players who didn't attract the spotlight; Bol Bol slides to an abysmal 44th pick

Coby White is one tough point guard on and off the court.

When the confetti settled, elite talents like De'Andre Hunter, Darius Garland, Jarrett Culver, Coby White followed. The athleticism and flair that ran amongst the top 10 picks was awe-inspiring. When the Hawks picked Cam Reddish as the 10th overall pick, him, RJ and Zion became the first Blue Devils trio with top-10 picks in the same draft. This was only second time - after Florida's Horford, Brewer and Noah were all top-10 selections in 2007 - in the last five decades that any college had achieved such a feat.

One of the glaring anomalies came in the form of Oregon's Bol Bol, son of legendary Manute Bol. Projected to be a top 15 pick, the 7-foot-2 center couldn't even make it to the first round, eventually getting picked by the Heat as the 44th pick(and subsequently traded to the Nuggets).

"I just want to prove everyone wrong and come out and be the best player I can be," he added.

He played just nine games at Oregon last year citing a stress fracture in his foot, which then coupled with his questionable work ethic meant him slipping down the draft boards drastically.
