Could Aaron Henry get drafted in the first round of Thursday’s NBA Draft? Cody Taylor of The Rookie Wire believes so.
It had appeared Henry was sliding down the mock draft boards in recent weeks, but that’s not the case in Taylor’s final mock draft for The Rookie Wire. Taylor has Henry going No. 27 overall to the Brooklyn Nets.
Here’s a little bit of what Taylor had to say about Henry:
Henry, who was named to the All-Big Ten third team, has spent the pre-draft process training with two-time NBA champion Mike Miller. Entering the draft, the biggest knock on Henry was his shooting and he recently told Rookie Wire he has made big strides in that department.
It’s interesting to see Taylor have Henry higher than most of the other mock drafts I’ve recently seen but I’m not complaining. This would be a great landing spot for Henry, with a chance to come in and help a true championship contender next season.
Hopefully, Taylor’s projection comes true and we hear Henry’s name called early on Thursday night. Click on the link below to see the complete mock draft from Taylor:
