With the NBA Draft just three days away, and this being the last Ziggin' and Zaggin' before Thursday's selections, it is a perfect time to look at where Gonzaga's four pro prospects—Austin Daye, Josh Heytvelt, Micah Downs, and Jeremy Pargo—may hear their names called.

Austin Daye

Daye's decision to remain in the NBA draft has been one of the most scrutinized by college and pro experts alike. 

Poor numbers at the combine and an inconsistent Gonzaga career has left Daye with far more question marks than many of the first round prospects, while a solid junior season in Spokane would have likely cemented a lottery pick for Daye. 

But, Daye's decision has been made, and come Thursday he will hear his name called by a team. 

Where he hears his name called is a whole other matter. 

The consensus seems to be that if Daye isn't drafted by Detroit at 14, he could be in for a long wait.  And, while the Pistons—who are looking to inject some youth and athleticism—would be a great fit for Austin, it's tough to see him falling too far if he gets past Detroit. 

In fact, the four teams drafting after Detroit—Chicago, Philadelphia, Minnesota, and Atlanta—would all likely give him a long hard look.

At the end of the day though, look for the Pistons to take Daye with the 15th pick and stash him away for a few years while they try to develop him into the top flight player he never could reach at Gonzaga.

Josh Heytvelt

Heytvelt's career has come a long way in a just a few years. 

After dominating UNC and Tyler Hansbrough in the 2006 Preseason NIT, Heytvelt seemed poised to become one of the top stars in Zags' history. 

However, off the court problems and injuries constantly derailed Heytvelt's progress, and it wasn't until this past season that he seemed to put it all back together.

Heytvelt isn't an elite talent; he doesn't dazzle or amaze, but he is a solid player that is more than capable of giving a team a boost of energy and a few big plays every game. 

His stock has been quietly on the rise over the past few weeks.  Like Hansbrough, Heytvelt has seen a bump due to teams looking for solid players and not huge upside guys. 

That in mind, Heytvelt would be a perfect selection for a team in the late first round.  Those picks, the 25-30 range, are not coveted by teams as they have to guarantee a contract to a player that doesn't necessarily merit it. 

So, for a player like Heytvelt—who doesn't look like a star, but doesn't look like a mega bust either—that is a perfect range for him to fall into.

Look for the Minnesota Timberwolves—with the 28th pick in the draft, and their third in the first round—to take Heytvelt and use him as a 10-15 minutes a game kind of guy, subbing in for Al Jefferson and Kevin Love.

Micah Downs

Downs, like Heytvelt to a lesser extent, had much of his college career defined by off the court decisions.  Downs was a top-rated prospect who, after less than a semester at the University of Kansas, decided to transfer back home and attend Gonzaga.
