What a shame

I think this makes Ayton the clear #1. Bamba and Doncic probably will slide up to 2 and 3.

Also, I'm not sold on Bagley. I don't think his game is going to translate well into the NBA. He reminds me a lot of Julius Randle.

Randle is a monster in NBA Playgrounds though.
Sucks for Missouri

but I doubt it really affects his draft status so long as he's healthy and the medicals check-out come draft evaluation time. Irving hardly played his freshmen year and it didn't hurt him.
Surgery

Missouri freshman Michael Porter Jr. will undergo surgery on his back that will likely cause him to miss the remainder of the season, the university announced. Porter will undergo a microdisectomy of the L3-L4 spinal discs, which has a projected recovery time of three to four months.

It's not spinal fusion surgery

So he's got that going for him. This is One of the more typical back surgeries one can have. It's scary but not that scary.
I've seen a lot of people

putting this Luka Doncic as the #1 overall pick.
