Duke's Kyle Filipowski and Marquette's Tyler Kolek are among the top prospects still available entering the second round of the NBA Draft.
Duke's Kyle Filipowski and Marquette's Tyler Kolek were productive college players who were AP second-team All-Americans. Both were projected to be possible first-round picks in the NBA Draft. Instead, they are among the headliners of top players still waiting to hear their names called after Wednesday night's first round. The new two-day format resumes Thursday with the second round and Toronto on the clock holding the No. 31 overall pick.
The 6-foot-8, 243-pound UCLA sophomore has a strong frame and a nearly 7-4 wingspan, which helped him as a rim protector and as a finisher inside in his career. The Houston point guard was an AP first-team All-American last year with elite defensive potential on or off the ball. He also avoided mistakes as a playmaker, averaging 5.8 assists with a nearly 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio the past three years.
