Currently, JC is 35th in this year's draft per DraftExpress. In front of him are:
1. Three seniors (have to go pro/leave college) (3 total)
2. Eight freshmen, one sophomore, and one international player in the top ten (all generally expected to go pro) (13 total)
3. Another freshman and three international picks in the lottery (again, likely all expected to go pro) (17 total)
4. Six freshmen not in the lottery (23 total)
5. Six sophomores not in the lottery (29 total)
6. Three juniors not in the lottery (32 total)
7. Two international players not in the lottery (34 total)
Tough to say how may of these 34 will actually go pro. I would think that any sophomores or juniors not in the lottery would return since this class is so stacked with freshmen, but I haven't given a strong look to the 2018 draft class to know if it will be stronger or not. I suspect it won't be because this year is ridiculously loaded on talented freshmen.
I think it's reasonable to believe that if Collins returns for another year that he would be slated around 15-20 in next year's draft and with a couple good games against top-tier teams would make it into the lottery.
