    Not sure he getting drafted, so hopefully he has success in Europe

    He’s getting drafted
    Given his confidence and some of the comments in the article you have to think there are a couple of teams that have given some kind of feedback that they are very interested

    That being said, the 1st round is going to be a reach and I do suspect that he’s going to be a 2nd rounder developing in the G league making so-so money.

    Perhaps it is just me, but I definitely view staying in school as a superior option to the G league
    Maybe, just maybe, the kid hates school. That happens. Studying and going to classes and following a syllabus may not be his bag. G league, Europe or whatever may be more attractive than slogging through another year of school. Good on him, go make your money, follow your dream, you do you. BUT as a guy who dropped out and started a career as a bartender and then grocery bagger I would recommend another year and maybe some first round guaranteed money.
    Colorado State University sucks
    I agree.

    He is 100% gone. Times article today confirms as much.

    He's been 100% gone since before the regular season ended. Damn near every other year doogs convince themselves player X is coming back - IT, Ross, D Murray, Wroten, Hawes, Nate Rob.

    IT was the only one of those I convinced myself wouldn't leave.

    Nowell is long gone.
    At least half of those guys would have been drafted higher if they returned
    IT - Who knows. Maybe? He wasn't getting any taller.

    Ross - Doubt it. He wasn't ever going to develop a strong handle, had he stayed teams would have figured that out.

    Murray - Yes, probably.

    Wroten - No chance. He went when teams still thought they could develop his shot.

    Hawes - Nope, his lack of athleticism become more glaring the older he got. Wasn't going higher.

    Nate Rob - Doubt it.

    So yeah you've got Murray and maybe the midgets. Maybe.

    The calculation is a little bit skewed because of how absolutely dog shit Romar was at actually coaching/improving guys.

    He wasn't bad at developing guards early on - Nate and maybe IT could have expected good development had they come back.

    The rest, not so much.

    It's always the argument of when do you have upside to lean on for being drafted. If he was a borderline 1st round pick it would make some sense to test the waters, but I can't see how going to the Gleague is worth his time. Waiting one year and possibly combining with elite talent could easily get him near the 1st round.

    All the guys mentioned make sense other than maybe Murray (as stated). His stock can only rise by playing another year in college. bTW, Fuck the whole school thing. He's still in 101 classes and trying to get a C. It's not like we're talking his senior year and he may actually have to take a 300-400 level classload.
