Early Entries to the NBA Draft

[Matt Dillon]

In my opinion, whether or not Bam stays depends on what some NBA team does or doesn't offer him.

It looks like Miles Bridges will come back.

Also Arizona will return Alonzo Trier.

Both those guys would have been taken ahead of Bam. Both will be on the short list for the Naismith Award next season.

That blows my mind, I really don't see Mich St. being much better of a team than last year so I'm not sure what he's really gaining. He's a lottery pick but it's not like he will work and become the #1 pick, guess he thinks a few spots are worth some millions but you'd sure hate to see him get hurt.

Man I wish we could've had him last season.

[Joneslab]

I think there are a few guys every year who truly like college, aren't in dire financial shape, and who may feel like they just aren't ready to be thrown to the wolves in the NBA.

I say more power to him. Selfishly I wish they'd all go because it would make Kentucky's road easier, and I'm not a big "it's good for the game" guy, but I'm glad there are people out there who don't jump at the money at every opportunity and who are willing to play a much longer game and enjoy their youth.

Let's face it: things could be A LOT worse than being a high-profile college basketball player.

I agree, I just wish just once we could have a lottery pick come back for a second year...lol, although it will never happen here.

Something that is often overlooked when trying to determine where a particular player will be drafted is the influx of overseas players in the draft. The average fan is not privy to info on these players.

I wish I knew of a good source on these guys. I'm always intrigued, yet skeptical, of the Europeans.

[Joneslab]

DraftExpress is the best source for those guys. They have a ton of content on European and South American players.

It looks like they have four foreign players in the first round.

[Joneslab]

Florida's Devin Robinson gone.

Terrence Jones?

[George]

Terrence Jones?

I don't think he was a lottery pick.

[J.Jennings]

If you are a GM, what do you do with Harry Giles, do you roll the dice? Same with Swanigan, i see him listed late 1st round but i think he's better than a late first round pick in my opinion....

[J.Jennings]

I saw a U of L report the other day bragging about how many U of L players are in the NBA playoffs this year smdh.... Of course they are, this is what happens when you get drafted late round to established playoffs teams as opposed of being taken early as part of the rebuild and process of being a franchise player...

[Joneslab]

South Carolina's P.J. Dozier puts his name in and hires an agent.

[KevinHall]

Big loss for the Game****************s. I doubt they were expecting that.
