Would be awesome to have back to back drafts with players drafted and having a first rounder would be clutch.

22 seems about right for Shake and Courtland.

Shake Milton sits at #24 in the new ESPN/Draft Express top 100. No Surpsie. But welcome newcomer Jarrey Foster to the top 100. Jarrey comes in at #76.

I think Jarrey is playing way better than Shake is right now

He is, but Jarrey has an easier role than Shake.

I havent seen the growth in Shake this year that I expected. I thought with this finally being his team, his year, he would rise to the occasion. But he hasn’t. Ben E certainly has. Ethan has too. I was expecting to see more.

Shake has done fine in his role this year. Looking forward to conference play.

I agree that Shakes role is bigger. And he does a lot of little leadership things better than in past years. He appears a lot more vocal giving the young guys direction during the game. And I think he is doing a fine facilitation role when needed. But we do need a crunch time scorer somewhere and if shake isn't it, our last hope will be McMurray

I just wish he did a better job finishing at the rim. His shot is fine, but when its not falling unless he is able to draw a foul he struggles. I still feel he needs to strengthen his lower body. He can't go up without falling down. How is he going to drive within the paint at the NBA level?
