Mara, who stands 7-foot-3 barefoot, was impressive in the pro lane agility drill.

“Moves his feet pretty well at 7’3,” Draft Express analyst Jonathan Givony wrote.

Analyst on the Michigan center: “Aday Mara’s stock continues to rise. Just had a conversation with one scout a little bit ago who is now projecting Mara to be a top-10 pick in this year’s draft. We will see where Mara moves over the next few weeks, but he has entered that second tier of prospects in the draft.”

Quote Of The Day

“Well, we have one spot. We’re in a wait-and-see approach with Morez. Certainly anticipating him having a difficult decision because of how well he’s playing in Chicago. But we’ll support him, and then if he does stay in, we’ll be prepared to pivot. But we like our team regardless, but obviously he raises our ceiling like Yax did last year.”
