Draft Projection

No player is rising up draft boards faster than the tantalizingly athletic Marquese Chriss. A clear project player, draft analysts have become enamored with the upside that no one seems to be able to define.

The mix of the intriguing and the unknown has caused many to ponder whether or not he could be a lottery pick.

There’s a widespread belief that Chriss will come off the board in the Top 14. The recent development, however, is that Chriss is becoming locked into the crosshairs of teams with a Top 10 draft pick.

Some have even hypothesized that he could come off the board in the Top 5.

Chriss is being rumored as a potential target for the Boston Celtics at No. 3 overall. The Phoenix Suns at No. 4 and Minnesota Timberwolves at No. 5 could also be destinations, although skepticism remains.

There’s no telling exactly where Chriss will come off the board, but he’s rising up draft boards in a rapid manner.
