    Probably my least favorite husky basketball player of all time.

    Yeah it used to be Wroten for me but Wroten was significantly better in his one and done year.
    I hate all those fags who transferred to Gonzaga. Dickau, Brown, Knight, Williams-Goss.


    Don’t agree on Dickau. One of my favorite college hoopers. I can’t blame NWG either. He wanted to win.
    All those guys except maybe Knight made the right choice, and hard to blame him either. IIRC he transferred because he hated Doug Wrenn.

    Fair.

    When people say that some people just mentally mature enough to go into the NBA McDaniels is that...

    He isnt good enough to have the sleepy/mopey attitude, its going to drive coaches and trainers absolutely insane. Im not even sure he even likes to play basketball let alone has the passion and work ethic to make it in any competitive league.

    81% chance he continues to not put in the work off the court, He is well below average when it comes to his shooting as a guard, ball handling, and physical development.
    I can agree that his ball handling and shooting aren't as good as he thinks they are, but he wasn't necessarily a low effort player, just extremely sloppy.

    He was pretty disruptive on D, effort wasn’t an issue. Trying to be Kevin Durant was the issue.
    His defense sucked, except for the highlight backside block... He struggled to stay in front of his man by moving his feet and there were more than a couple games he picked up a ton of unnecessary fouls with his poor defense.

    Its a large part of why Hop had to move him off the top of the Zone (at the start of the season) to the wings where he was less of a liability.

    I agree that he has some motor, but he takes plays off too. He’s not a good shooter, is weak and gets pushed around the hoop, and he’s a below average playmaker.

    Agree on all fronts

    Effort was good when he thought he could get a steal or block ... super lazy and indifferent otherwise

    Projected mid first round, maybe creep into the back end of the lottery.

    If he came back and dominated college as a sophomore there is no reason to think he couldn't go first overall with his measurables.

    There's also the strong possibility he's just not that good or willing to work on fulfilling his potential and getting exposed.

    I think, like Chriss, it's right to leave early when some coach will believe they can mold you while you're still young.

    He got the roll the dice part right ... don’t spend all that money in one spot

    Anybody with any kind of self confidence would say that returning to school, working on your craft, and getting drafted higher (more $$$) is a prudent play ...

    Only reason this makes sense is if you believe that there won’t be a CFB season next year
