Right now Nowell isn't included in many mock drafts, even ones that are two full rounds. If he doesn't impress in workouts you'd think the decision would be to return. Thybulle on the other hand has seen his stock improve in recent weeks. A lot of mocks have him at the end of the first/early second.
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.
Not sure he getting drafted, so hopefully he has success in Europe
Hopefully there is someone in his life giving him a healthy dose of constructive reality, there just aren't enough people that believe in his game to warrant leaving early. He runs the high risk of going undrafted at this point and lacks the upside or alpha mentality to command playing time/opportunities in the NBA as a free agent or late 2nd round draft pick.
there is no shame in returning after thinking you are ready to go pro and finding out the market might think you are not.
That being said; He was fucking 100% gone the second he won Pac12 POY, if not before.

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.

Nowell is long gone.
At least half of those guys would have been drafted higher if they returned

If you are a top 15 pick. You go. Staying another year to move from 14 to 10 isn't worth it.
