This is going to be an unpopular post but, whatever.
The last two updated mock drafts I looked at...
One had JP going mid-2nd round and...
The other had him undrafted.
Look, if he ends up undrafted, remember that his last game in college was 4 points in 40 minutes on 1-10 shooting. It would be a shame for NBA scouts to put so much weight on one game but you never know.
It'll be unpopular because it's silly. You think his last game is what NBA scouts will be focused on and not his whole body of work which also included an 11 point, 13 rebound, 8 assist performance against one of the best defensive teams in the country or his 31 point, 6 rebound, 8 assists against #1 seed Illinois or his MAC Tournament MVP Performance or his solid performance at the NBA draft combine. And I see you carefully omitted that he had 9 rebounds and 7 assists in that last game of his.
And mid-2nd round will be just fine. It's very possible that's where he'll go but that will give him the shot he'll need and I'm guessing he'll be okay with that.
