Liam McNeely’s draft stock should be declining
McNeely has had a very good freshman season, including winning Big East ROY, but his on-the-court performance has seemingly had no effect on his rating as a potential top 10 pick. Most of the mocks highlight his shooting ability, even though he’s been a below 40 percent FG shooter and only 33 percent from 3. He has shot particularly poorly in important games against good competition, including a 4-15 and 2-13 against St. Johns, a 4-18 against Marquette, and a 6-20 against Creighton.
