The NBA draft outlook for USC’s Isaiah Collier has remained relatively stable over the past month. Collier was viewed last year — when he entered USC — as a potential lottery pick, but as the NBA draft moves closer, the general consensus is that Collier will fall just out of the lottery and into the 15-20 pick range next week. The latest USA TODAY Sports mock NBA draft has Collier going at No. 19 in the first round. The destination: Canada. The Toronto Raptors have the 19th pick, and Collier might be headed to the Great White North.
Here’s more from the USA TODAY Sports set of NBA draft projections:
“Should be healed from hand injury suffered during season. Has an NBA-ready frame and gets to the rack and finishes. Still needs to work on inconsistent jump shot and can be a shut-down defender if he puts his mind to it. Has lottery-caliber talent and could end up being a really strong pick for a team in this range.”
