2011 draft.....

To be honest, I think that Brandon Knight is the versatile, athletic young Jason Terry-like combo guard that the Jazz really need. I think he may be a better fit for the Jazz than Barnes. Definitely should be in the mix even at six. I think he's going to be a good pro.
 
Other than Sullinger, any other players saying they will return to school? Any websites out there that track this?
 
I think Sulinger will go back to school, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Irving, Barnes, Terrance Jones, and Burks all stay in school. What would this year's draft look like if that happened?

I read a story on Hoopshype stating that Harrison Barnes would most likely return if NC didn't win a championship. I don't have a link but there is a possiblity that he would stay especially with the lockout being a certainty.

I have read quotes that Barnes is considering staying in school. I also remember hearing quotes like this all the time. I would give Sullinger two weeks to think about guaranteed millions and ask him again. Often players change their minds or their families change their minds for them.

Lets not go into the panic mold just yet. He was making that decision in a very emotional state. It could change.

No he wasn't. He has been telling his coach all year he was coming back. I know that it doesn't mean he will change his mind but it wasn't an emotional decision. I know its too early to panic because we don't no where the Jazz are going to pick neither do we know who is staying in school or going into the draft. However, it should not be too big of a surprise if more players stay because of the potential of a lockout.

My thoughts exactly. Kids might decide to stay in school for another year until the lockout is officially resolved. We'll see what happens.
 
Ok, let's stop it with the worst case scenario speculation until there is absolute certainty. As of now every kid slated to be top 10 will enter the draft this year. Even if right now they say they're going back to school - that isn't certain until the zero hour.

Barnes would be crazy to go back to school. He's a late lottery pick in a normal year. And he's just not that great a prospect. But this year he'll go 3-8. No brainer.
