Gonzaga Basketball: NBA Mock Draft Consensus on Suggs, Kispert, Ayayi
Filip Petrusev – 6-11 Power forward/ center
- Highest draft spot – Philadelphia 76ers, 26th
- Lowest draft spot – Charlotte Hornets, 56th
- Most common draft spot – Atlanta Hawks 48th/ Sacramento Kings
Filip Petrusev could have come back to Gonzaga last year. Instead, he signed on to play professional basketball in his native Serbia. He did extremely in his first year of pro ball. The former Gonzaga basketball standout averaged 23.7 points per game for Mega Bet on the way to earning league MVP honors.
Those who saw him play in Spokane might be surprised to learn that Petrusev developed an outside shot while abroad. In two seasons with the Zags, Petrusev made 11 treys in 63 games. In Serbia, he made 26 three-pointers and shot 42 percent from behind the arc.
Prospects 1.0
Just like Ayayi, Petrusev is on every mock draft that went into the second round. The 6-11 center also had some late first-round mentions. He’ll make a great addition to a team that needs a rebounder who can occasionally hit a trifecta.
Wrap up
The Gonzaga Bulldogs have never had more than two former players taken in the same draft. This year they will have four. We’ll be back with another edition of our Gonzaga Bulldogs Mock Draft Consensus before the event happens.
