BOULDER — The market for Jabari Walker appears to be heating up.
Colorado’s star forward opted to enter this Thursday’s NBA Draft (which starts at 6 p.m. MST) and forego his college eligibility after two seasons in Boulder. The decision came with some scrutiny since Walker is unlikely to be a first-round pick and there’s a chance he won’t be one of the 58 players who are chosen.
OF the 26 mocks included below, Walker is chosen in 14. In the mocks in which Walker is selected, he’s chosen at pick 52.5 on average.
