Tell that to Dante Exum and Enes Kanter....
Eurobasket starts Thursday. Hoping it will be on ESPN 3. Same group as France and Greece.
True they were still picked pretty high, but did a year of not playing organized basketball help them in their playing careers?
Did it hurt? Enes Kanter got a max contract. Dante Exum suffered, but that is more a function of tearing his ACL in his 2nd year. He had a relatively successful rookie year being a starter.
All signs point to sitting out a year, as long as your a top rated prospect, actually raises your stock.
Mitchell is measured as a true 7' with a 7'4 wingspan and top level athletic ability. I dont think him sitting out a year takes him out of the lottery, and best case, it actually raises his stock if some of the other top big man prospects struggle or get injured.
If I had to bet between sitting out or playing for a mid-major.. I'd sit out (only speaking draft stock).

yeah, i don't see much evidence that sitting out hurts a top prospect. maybe it should, i don't know, but it doesn't seem to.
Thon Maker snuck into the 2016 draft with no college and went 10th. Hamidou Diallo tried to do the same. I guess it's case by case.

I love the way Milwaukee drafts. It is almost always about the length for the position.
I feel like we need Robert Williams or Kevin Knox in this draft, then we could be pretty set. We'd need a pick in the 7 - 11 range.
