2018 NBA Mock Draft 6.0
17. player. 89. . C. Chamlette H.S.. Mitchell Robinson
The Bucks add to their less-than-impressive frontcourt with one of the most intriguing prospects in the 2018 class. Robinson was a McDonald’s All-American who was orginally slated to spend the year at Western Kentucky.
That, of course, didn’t end up happening. He eventually left school in the summer and decided to prepare for the draft full-time. He remains an elite athlete with a high defensive ceiling, but pre-draft workouts will go a long way in determining how high he gets drafted.
Thon Maker is still a promising piece who was productive in the Bucks’ first round series, but he’s a few years away from realizing whatever potential he has. Robinson should be a solid rim-runner and shot blocker who can fill John Henson‘s role if the latter inevitably fades out of the picture.
