It's possible another team will pick at No. 16, as the Hawks have been named as a team looking to move up.
Eason's camp doesn't believe he'll fall into the 20s. Even though he has a questionable jump shot, analytics departments will like him, coaches will admire his toughness and scouts like his versatility as a big who can handle in transition or face up and attack.
It's not often a player earns a green room invite after scrimmaging at the combine. Jalen Williams pulled that off. He originally felt like a prospect for whom teams would want to trade down. But at this point, with interest in Williams high and widespread, he is well regarded enough for a team to justify selecting him in the teens.
Liddell has not received an invite to the green room, which bodes well for teams' chances of getting him in the 20s.
LaRavia finished the predraft process on a workout tour, visiting teams in the 20s. He's had multiple callbacks for second workouts and should hear his name called in the first round.
