Jaden Henley projected for NBA draft selection from Grand Canyon University

Recent mock drafts predict Henley going in the second round, with estimates ranging from the 50th to the 57th overall pick. He averaged 17.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per game this season, showcasing strong downhill scoring.
