General assumptions about the NBA Draft - use the latest ESPN Mock Draft and assume the Top 40 (1st round plus possible 1st) from their team for 2022-23:

#3 Jabari Smith (Auburn)
#6 Shaedon Sharpe (Kentucky)
#14 TyTy Washington (Kentucky)
#15 Tari Eason (LSU)
#16 Kennedy Chandler (Tennessee)
#24 Walker Kessler (Auburn)
#38 JD Davison (Alabama)


1. Arkansas
2. Kentucky
3. Tennessee
4. Alabama
5. Texas A&M
6. Auburn
7. Vanderbilt
8. Mississippi State
9. Florida
10. LSU
11. Ole Miss
12. Georgia
13. South Carolina
14. Missouri

That might be too high depending on who leaves. Quinton Jackson is irreplaceable right now.

If Jaylin Williams leaves for the NBA, the Hogs will need to be dropped a spot or two.

I hate setting base expectations so sky high, but it's hard not to going into next year. Just gotta see how the team gels. I'm plum giddy with excitement to see how Muss game plans with a team full of 5 stars.

If he leaves for the NBA he isn’t smart. He isn’t a first round pick.

He has plenty to work on before he is NBA ready.

Needs some type of low post game and a shot for starters. The 3s he can’t make in college are just long twos at the next level.

He will be back

Yeah if he'd kept up his midseason form I think he's probably getting coerced to enter the draft, but he fell off pretty hard at the end of the year. Contested layups need to be item #1 on his offseason to-do list.

There’s a chance Walker Kessler returns, which is still under consideration, but I expect Auburn to be better than #6 in the SEC.

If he came back that obviously changes things a ton, as does possibly bringing in Phillips/Traore.

Yea, Auburn will make moves to potentially be a better overall team next season. Obviously Jabari Smith Jr is irreplaceable, but if Walker Kessler returns, Auburn will be better at every single other position than the 4. And that 4 will be replaced by a 5*.

Thinking we hold on to Christian Wright, Braelen Bridges, Jabri Abdur-Rahim and Jaxon. Kario is gone.

Everyone else will be told to take a hike.

We will get PJ Horne and Jailyn Ingram back from injury, also thinking we get 2 of UF’s old commits.

We will go to the portal for anything else, which means best case scenario next year is:

PG- Transfer
G- Transfer
G/F- Malik Reneau
F- Ingram
C- Bridges

6- Horne
7- Jabri
8- Etter
9- Wright
10. Jalen Reed
11-14: Transfer/Freshmen

Needless to say Matt McMahon is going scorched earth on the portal already. Landed NWST's top player to start which isn't bad.

We could have some extremely dangerous teams next year. The question is how badly does the selection committee knock us for a less than splendid NCAAT? Never mind the Big 10 flaming out in epic fashion, they'll remember the SEC landed exactly one team in the Elite 8 and Arkansas was probably the least respected team in the country despite knocking off the Zags.

I see three, possibly even four, teams that have a legit shot, if they stay healthy and get hot, of making the Final Four next year and that is nothing to sneer at.
