I was reading an NBA draft piece on Buddy Hield and the writer had this to say.
I thought it was interesting a national NBA writer regarded Iwundu that highly. Then it made me think about the frightening lack of NBA talent in the Big 12. What does everyone think is the cause of this? I don't think there is another P5 conference with as little NBA talent as the Big 12.
Hield hasn’t faced great talent this season. He matched up with Villanova’s Josh Hart in nonconference play, and the best Big 12 competition he saw (aside from Baylor’s Taurean Prince, who was playing zone defense) came from Wesley Iwundu (Kansas State) and Wayne Selden Jr. (Kansas).
