Midway through the basketball season, we all had an idea that [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] forward, [autotag]Brice Sensabaugh[/autotag] was most likely heading off to the NBA after just one season in Columbus.
That’s exactly what happened, and now that the NBA draft lottery has come and gone, more accurate mock drafts are being formulated. ESPN’s Jonathan Givony released his 58-pick mock draft (subscription required) and has Sensabaugh going in the first round with the No. 20 pick to the Houston Rockets.
It’s a bit lower than where most of us thought he would go, but with the draft combine being held in Chicago right now, there is time for the former Buckeye to impress NBA teams and move up on their draft boards.

Sensabaugh has to show teams that his knee injury suffered in the Big Ten Tournament is not an issue going forward. What we do know is that Brice wants a dog, a fluffy dog, which will be one of his first purchases after he is drafted.
