Ah yes because if he waits till next year, avoids injury and plays great and is the #1 pick he gets to hand pick his team.

Spaced that part.




Wtf is going on right now?

The #1 pick is typically an atrocious team not looking to win now and will you give you unlimited reps. He goes to a mid lottery team and he is potentially buried in a depth chart and looking at a longer development process that he may not be ready for.

I'm not arguing against the fact that declaring asap is the less risky choice, but these choices are individual and if the individual doesn't feel ready to be on a NBA team I believe waiting is a good idea and given the upcoming class (if what is said is true) it's a great year to be in that position.

But, you get to control your destiny and choose your team if you’re in draft consideration one year, forego and enter the next.

This is a classic case of taking a bizarre stance just to argue.

You’re forever our debate club champion my brother.

Yes, a bizarre stance of factoring in people being human and not everyone chasing money that's right in front of them and instead doing what they feel is best for their individual career. So weird of me to be bringing this up on prospects who are clearly considering these very things.

Totally. You really are the human in all this.

Thank you for being the champion of feelings over money. Lesson learned
 
If I thought I had a legitimate chance of being a #1 pick in a draft, I would take my shot. I guess that's weird though.

Or maybe there is no benefit to immediately declaring. Mayne they do love college and decide to be irrational… that’s 1000% different than saying it’s potentially a good career move. It’s not just chasing dollars… these dudes dreamed of playing in the NBA. It’s realizing the dream AND stacking millions.

You forgot that he also gets younger by waiting a year. there is that advantage to factor in.

Too sides to dat coin. Go to atrocious team and learn bad habits and/or not be ready for dem reps. Go to a mid lottery team and learn good habits and come along more at your readiness level. Lots of stuffs can happens. Take the money when you can get it doe.

One argument against returning is 9 of the top 14 prospects as of right now in next years draft not counting one's that may return as well are wings.
Also the last time a 2 or 3 or 4 year college prospect went 1 was Blake in 09.
He would be getting bad advice to return to school if the reason was to try to be a higher pick. there are plenty of ****** teams on the treadmill right now sitting mid to late lottery that could hand him the keys to the tank day 1. I think he should stay in, unless ALL the orgs he visits with while "testing the waters" tell him he has more to work on than he ever expected to hear them say.
I have him as a lock to go before both Twins and probably before Walker. He is more likely taken 3-5 than 8 or after.
I guess the final draft order will be easier to predict these things.
I disagree with everyone saying no porjected top 10 prospect should ever return, if the projection is coming from ****ing fans and media jackasses instead of actual scouts. smh
