College basketball coaching changes tracker: Milwaukee's LaVall Jordan to Butler--CBS Sports
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.

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.

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.
