While teammate Jabari Smith has been the talk of the draft, some would argue that University of Auburn forward Walker Kessler has flown under the radar.
The 7’1″ prospect improved greatly from his freshman to sophomore year and played a significant role in Auburn’s fantastic regular season. So much so, that Kessler is projected as a first-round pick by draft experts after being seen as a late second-rounder at this time a year ago.
Tipico Sportsbook gets exact with Kessler’s draft position. The oddsmakers there have his line at 24.5, with even -110 odds of him either being picked before or after No. 24.
