If he's lucky, he gets two years of NBA coin and ends up playing in Wuhan.Tequilla said: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

I don't see him going until late first round at best.Doogles said: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.
Chriss was a much better bet. -
BTP releases an ELITE statement.

Not sure I’d go that far. Chris’s was raw AF. At least JMac has some skills.dnc said:

That is not my memory of him as a player at all. But I don’t care enough to check the stats.dnc said:

He would never go first. I do think in time, he would be a good college basketball player and he’s not close to ready for the NBA, but this is what player’s like him do.Doogles said:Projected mid first round, maybe creep into the back end of the lottery.

Chriss was the easiest bust call ever. He fouled out every game at UW not because he was aggressive, but because he was always late reacting. Chriss has never had the right basketball IQ.
McDaniels has a better shot in the NBA than Chriss because he has a higher skill level. That said, McDaniels also has no stand out skill. -
He shot a slightly better three point percentage than Jaden and a much higher 2 point percentage (on more 2s per game).ThomasFremont said:

Chriss had the makings of a classic stretch four. His issue was his inability to stay out of foul trouble as Roadie noted.
I'm very surprised Chriss hasn't been a better 3 point shooter in the NBA. His 3 point percentage has literally gotten worse every season since he set foot at UW. For someone as raw as he was at UW you expect continued improvement not continued decline. -
What role does McDaniels play in the NBA? He's going to have to completely redefine his game to contribute anything. He's not going to be a ball handler for any NBA team, at least not for awhile. He just doesn't make good enough decisions.
And if he can't handle the ball what is he? I guess if he develops his shot he can get some run as a spot up shooter who brings defensive length.
I just don't see NBA teams lining up to draft him. Especially in a pretty decent draft.
If he goes before 25 I'll be pleasantly surprised. -
When Chriss declared for the draft I el oh el’d.
When he got drafted in the lottery I went full roflcopter.
I mean, good for him, but how? -
It was a famously thin draft.ThomasFremont said:When Chriss declared for the draft I el oh el’d.

Same. I remember guaranteed Murray would be a better pro.ThomasFremont said:When Chriss declared for the draft I el oh el’d.
