#54 Alec Peters PF SR Valparasio
Phoenix addressed their need for an athletic wing when Josh Jackson fell to 4. A few weeks ago, Jackson seemed to be a top 3 lock so Suns fans should be thrilled with this pick. In the second round, they added a potential 3 and D guy with Reed and a potential stretch four with Peters. Peters is a great value and would have been picked higher if he were healthy.

Alec Peters would be a great fit on the Bulls, and I actually had him going there in our first mock draft. He’s an interesting case because he hasn’t really been able to do too much in terms of workouts because of his foot injury. Trying to project the second round of the draft is such a crapshoot, but I think we’ll see Peters go anywhere between picks 35-45. I’d love for him to land on the Rockets so that he could just go out and bomb threes.

Milwaukee PanthersLavall Jordan set to be named head coach at Butler--Mid-Major Madness
Out: LaVall Jordan
Jordan leaves for Butler, meaning the Panthers are looking for a new coach two years in a row. Milwaukee is a top-three job in the Horizon League. Jordan's replacement could come from in-house -- assistant Todd Townshend -- or the school could look to hire a big-time assistant from the Midwest at a major program now.

NBA Mock Draft 2017: Luke Kennard makes big jump, goes to Kings at No. 10--CBS Sports
MagicBest-case scenarios for the top mid-major draft prospects--Mid-Major Madness
Alec Peters, PF, Valparaiso
Peters, like Monk, could add a shooter to Orlando's roster. He shot 41.6 percent from 3-point range in his four-year career at Valpo.
Alec Peters - PF, ValparaisoNBA Mock Draft 2017: Fultz still goes No. 1, but to Sixers in blockbuster--CBS Sports
Best Case: Houston Rockets
The best thing that Peters can bring to a team is his ability to shoot from the perimeter and get to the free throw line. It would seem that Peters and the Houston Rockets, a team that preaches efficiency with three-point shots and free throws, would be a match made in heaven. His best bet at sticking in the league is to essentially become a three-point specialist and be a threat from the perimeter. With the Rockets, Peters could provide a solid option for their bench units, and could learn how to fill the role from one of the best stretch 4s in the league, Ryan Anderson. If he’s still on the board at the No. 43 pick, Peters could be an option for the Rockets.
23. RaptorsValparaiso's Luke Gore, Micah Bradford, Derrik Smits grow on European trip--Post-Tribune
Alec Peters, PF, Valparaiso
Peters was one of college basketball's top shooters last season, with a remarkable 60.4 percent true shooting percentage. As the best player in the Horizon League last season, teams ganged up on Peters, so ignore his 36.3 percent from 3-point land and look at his previous two seasons, where he shot 46.6 and 44 percent from three respectively. Is he going to be a star? No. He's far from the "elite NBA athlete" level. But shooting like he does -- and being able to score from all over the court -- means he'll be able to be a productive player in this league for a long time.

So who will Butler target this time around?Butler has strong candidates available to succeed Chris Holtmann, inside the family and out--Sporting News
...
Lavall Jordan, Milwaukee: Jordan is a Butler grad that spent three years as an assistant with the Bulldogs before following Lickliter to Iowa. He spent six years on John Beilein’s staff with Michigan before taking over at Milwaukee this past season. The Panthers went just 11-24 this season, but they came within one game of reaching the NCAA tournament as they advanced to the Horizon League title game.
LaVall Jordan, MilwaukeeLaVall Jordan, Wisconsin-Milwaukee head coach--Fansided
Jordan came close to getting the job in 2013, when he was an assistant coach coming off a national title game appearance with Michigan. Jordan has an appealing personality and has experience at Butler as both a player and assistant coach. He spent three seasons on Lickliter’s staff, not long after completing his Bulldogs playing career. Jordan got the head coaching job at Milwaukee in advance of the 2016-17 season; he hasn’t had sufficient time to rebuild the program entirely, but Jordan did inspire them to reach the Horizon League championship game despite a 4-14 regular season. He certainly is better prepared for the job now than four years ago.
Butler coaching candidates: With Chris Holtmann off to Ohio State, who will replace him?--CBS Sports
Milwaukee coach LaVall Jordan: Nearly got the job four years ago when Brandon Miller was hired. Jordan, 38, is a former Butler assistant who just completed his first season as the coach at Milwaukee (11-24 record in 2016-17). Those in the business believe Jordan has a very realistic chance at being a true finalist for the job if he wants it (he should).Banner Boys Voted Into The Basketball Tournament Field--mkepanthers.com

The future of this franchise seems very much in flux. Peters, one of college basketball's top shooters, is the type of player who can come in tomorrow and make an impact. No, he may not have NBA athleticism, but Peters and his remarkable 60.4 percent true shooting percentage in college works for any NBA team. A team that needs to win now like Toronto would be wise in taking a college senior like Peters.

The big question: Since John Brannen’s NKU men’s basketball program is returning the nucleus of a team that advanced to the 2017 NCAA Tournament, how will the Norse handle the expectations that follow success?
Another story to watch: Former UK assistant Camryn Whitaker didn’t do a lot of winning (9-22) in her first year as NKU women’s hoops coach, but her energetic recruiting has yielded eight new players in her 2017 recruiting class and at least two well-regarded in-state commitments (so far) for 2018.

Kameron Chatman, Detroit MercyKansas' non-conference schedule for 2017-18 is a disappointing step down--CBS Sports
See above. Chatman was the No. 1 player in Michigan in 2014 and the No. 38 prospect according to ESPN. He never received a ton of minutes over two years at Michigan, but did hit a game-winning three against Indiana in the 2016 Big Ten Tournament. Chatman is a 6’9’’ athlete that does several things really well. Although Bacari Alexander went just 8-23 in his first year, the Titans return their top three scorers. Chatman’s versatility will make him an ideal fit in the lineup. This could be a sleeper to win the Horizon.
Oakland (at home, Nov. 24): The Texas Southern, Oakland, Toledo and Syracuse games are part of the Hoophall Miami Invitational that Kansas agreed to.

Oakland is good often, though, having won 20 or more gams six of the past nine seasons.Hunter Crist commits to GB during visit--Phear The Phoenix
