Early Entries to the NBA Draft

[Joneslab]

I'll start this thread because this is the time of year where guys start to declare.

In a VERY surprising decision, Texas A&M forward Robert Williams has announced he will return. Would have likely been a lottery pick or right at the edge of it in this draft.

The SEC is going to be a bear next season, and yes I did say that.

Oklahoma State's Jawun Evans is entering. Averaged 19 a game this past season.

Robert WIlliams coming back is huge for A&M. I thought he would go pro for sure.

Markelle Fultz (sp?) entered the draft. Which is like saying the sun will set in the west. I think he announced the moment Washington's season was over.

Good for Williams as long as he doesn't get injured. He should improve his draft status.

I agree, the SEC will have a number of good teams next year, especially if the Porter boys lottery goes Mizzous way.

Really surprised about Williams, would sure be nice if we had a lottery pick come back for another season sometime!

Here is the latest mock draft status Fox at 5 Monk at 8 and Bam at 26.

Texas freshman and former UK target Jarrett Allen will test but will not sign with an agent.

Kennard is an interesting one to me, can't imagine he ever works his way higher than he is right now, but with Coach K's luck, him and Allen will be back next year and they will be the preseason #1, especially if they land Duvall and Knox/Bamba.

Of course they are. You know they'll both come back, because Duke.

Exactly.

I would love to get at least one of our big 3 freshmen back.....I know it won;t happen though

Nope, not happening, in my opinion.

[Dwight Schrute]

I'm not sure Grayson Allen has any options but to return. He's not good enough to deal with his attitude issues.

[KevinHall]

To me neither one is good enough for the NBA at the moment. But I've been fooled before. They are very good college players who would be fringe NBA players at best.
