If he's looking at being lottery pick, or even close, I think he absolutely goes. No question. And I'll admit right up front, NBA draft stuff is out of my wheelhouse, especially a case like this. I pay little to no attention to mock drafts in any of the major sports but especially the NBA, so I don.t know how well they translate this far out to draft day accuracy. I assume Philon is showing up in many of them though based on the reaction and comments of Bama fans this season (and I am aware there was at least a plan in place for a 1 and done season if things went well). Personally, I'm a bit more tentative to call it a lock though just based off some of the inconsistencies in his game right now. Then again, I didn't see a guy like Primo getting snatched up the way he did at this point in the season/process either. I guess my point is, maybe it's silly, but I have some glimmer of hope that he returns. And if he does, much like Sears coming back (yes, different situation), we can probably thank the NIL rules.
