    Projecting the 2026 NBA Draft's First Round
    https://www.si.com/nba/draft/newsfeed/projecting-the-2026-nba-draft-first-round-jan-13
    The college basketball season is finally amid conference play, with several of the country's top talents now facing off against one another on a nightly basis.



    JQ returning is wishful thinking at this point. Everything points to him being a mid-Lottery Pick.
    Agreed.

    No way he comes back, with him being projected so high.

    I wonder who risks their job on picking him at this point. I wouldn’t want to be the guy who decides to pull the trigger on him in the 6-10 range. If he’s a bust, then your head is on the chopping block.

    Then again, if you pass on him and he ends up being a stud, you are in the same boat. Still, I wouldn’t take a chance inside the top 10 for him based on his performance this season. He could very well be damaged goods.

    I honestly see him falling to the end of the lottery or just outside the lottery due to his uncertainty. He would be seen as a steal for picks 15-20. But he’s a big risk to take in the top 10.

    Regardless, he’s gone after this season. No way he takes the college route given his situation.

        Exactly.

        With modern medicine being what it is, though. I imagine the NBA dudes can make a fairly sound judgment.

        Be not an hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good heed what thou speakest. Exalt not thyself, lest thou fall, and bring dishonour upon thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation, because thou camest not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of deceit.?

            Risk/Reward for JQ would seem to push him to the NBA.

            He gets drafted and then re-injures, he's getting paid to rehabilitate, etc on an NBA team.

            If he stays college and re-injures, he's probably off to Europe for, at least, a few years before he can even attempt to get back on an NBA path.
