Takes from around the draft
What draft creators are saying about Deron Rippey Jr., summarized — jump straight to each segment on the creator's channel.
Way Too Early 2027 NBA Mock Draft
Calls Rippey a talented, quick point guard (16/6/5 as a senior on a 30-2 team) who can score at all three levels and has quick hands on defense. Minutes in a crowded Duke backcourt are the question, but thinks he's talented enough to rise into the first round.
Way Too Early 2027 NBA Mock Draft
Calls the No. 17 slot the one pick in this range that lost him: Rippey is electric, super quick and a really good athlete, but he isn't a top-30 player for Metcalf yet, especially at his size. Wants more composure and control on the ball and isn't sure he's ready to be one-and-done.
