2019 NBA Draft: Big Night For Indiana

The 2019 NBA Draft as Romeo Langford, Dylan Windler, and Kyle Guy were drafted. Purdue's Carsen Edwards, La Lumiere alum Jordan Poole, and Bosco Institute alum Mfiondu Kabengele were selected as well. (Pictured: Romeo Langford heading into his junior year)

 

Romeo Langford's draft stock was a roller coaster ride throughout his lone season in Bloomington. He entered the season in the top five of most mock drafts. As he struggled to hit outside shots, Langford's rating dropped. In the draft process, Langford was slotted anywhere from 11 to the 20's. The Boston Celtics selected Langford with the 14th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

 

Although he didn't meet expectations, Langford averaged 16.5 points and 5.4 rebounds. He only had a True Shooting Percentage of 54%. Those are great numbers for a maligned player. There are many players never come close to those numbers. His ability to draw fouls and finish at the basket will translate to the NBA.

 

Perry Meridian and Belmont alum Dylan Windler was picked 26th by the Cleveland Cavs. Windler averaged 21.3 points and 10.8 rebounds in his senior year. He shot a ridiculous 43% from three-point range as a senior. Shooting will be his ticket to a long NBA career. 

 

Windler was a golfer in high school before playing travel basketball heading into his senior year. That is when his game and recruitment took off. He picked up a bunch of mid-major offers before committing to Belmont. He improved each year in Nashville after averaging 4.3 points per game as a freshman.

 

Redshirt sophomore Mfiondu Kabengele was selected after Windler in the 27th spot by the Nets. Kabengele played a postgraduate season at the Bosco Institute in Northwest Indiana. Kabengele is known for his defense. He averaged a block and half per game despite only playing 21.6 minutes per game. He has shown potential as a shooter as well. If he can be a shot-blocking, three-point shooter, he will stick in the league for many years.

 

Michigan guard and LaLumiere alum Jordan Poole was drafted next at 28 by the Golden State Warriors. This was much higher than most people expected. His shooting could be needed with KD and Klay out or gone next year.

 

Carsen Edwards was drafted 33rd overall. That is early in the second round. The 76ers made the pick, but he will be traded to the Boston Celtics. Edwards helped himself with an insane shooting during the NCAA Tournament. He showed that he can light up the best college defenses. Edwards will be looking to fill a bench scoring role early in his career.

 

2016 Mr. Basketball Kyle Guy was picked 55th by the Knicks. That pick was traded to the Kings. Guy left after his junior year, but he wasn't on many mock drafts. He averaged 15 points per game as a junior as Virginia won the national title. He'll need to be an elite shooter and a solid ball-handler/distributor to stick in the league.

 

2017 Mr. Basketball Kris Wilkes left UCLA to enter the draft after his sophomore year. He went undrafted but quickly signed a two-way contract with the New York Knicks. He averaged 17.4 points per game as a sophomore.

 

Purdue-Fort Wayne star John Konchar went undrafted although some draft models really like his production. He signed a two-way contract with the Memphis Grizzlies. He averaged 19.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 5.4 assists as a senior. He was extremely efficient throughout his career.
