Former TCU forward Desmond Bane told Jonathan Givony of ESPN last week that his range to be selected in the NBA Draft is during the second half of the first round.
Bane said his expected range is based on the feedback received from the 21 teams he has interviewed with during the pre-draft process. He also told ESPN that he has been training six days a week since the beginning of April in Miami, Florida.
I have had a chance to interview with 21 teams. This has been a great process getting to know organizations and allowing them to get a closer look at the person I am. I have grasped my draft range through conversations with teams and my agent. We have been hearing the second half of the first round from the majority of the teams.
Bane averaged 16.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals in 32 games played last season with the Horned Frogs. He emerged as a strong catch-and-shooter threat from deep, converting on 44.2% of his looks from 3-point range.
Based on his ability as a shooting threat, most project Bane to be a first-round pick as he is ranked No. 18 in the latest 2020 Rookie Wire NBA Mock Draft.
