A few early projections for the 2016 NBA Draft have been posted-
DraftExpress.com-
This mock draft does not include any MVC players, and omits Ron Baker and Fred Van Vleet, who many thought would get drafted.
NBADraftRoom.com-
This site has Ron Baker as a late 2nd round pick.
NBADraft.net-
This site still has Ron Baker at #30 (last pick in round 1), but no other MVC players.
There are quite a few others posted online, many just predict the 1st round. Many of the ones I've seen have Ron Baker going in the 2nd round, and quite a few leave him out of the draft.
And, of course, these sites are all run by amateurs, some who probably know less than some of the posters here, though the DraftExpress guy is actually paid by NBA teams for his info, so his picks may be a little more based on real knowledge.
So it's possible Baker's draft stock may have fallen a little. And usually there are a bunch of foreign players who emerge late and may bump US college guys down further. So Baker needs a good MVC conference season to impress the scouts.
