Does the UK exodus make Justise consider a second year?

[Yasuo3750]

I've heard some rumblings, can't guarantee that they are accurate (as with all rumors), that Justise will most likely test the waters, and if he doesn't like the projected spot, he'll be returning to earn that 1 or 2 pick. Which honestly, i think most of us agree he would be with another year of improvement.

Either way i'll be happy for him. He, like Jah, came and won the damn thing.

Also, while on this topic, does this make Tyus consider the same thing?

Justise will likely be the 3rd pick in the draft, or at least in the top 5. I'm not sure I can see someone coming back to move higher in the top 5. May to move higher in the lottery into the top 5, but if he could be the 3rd pick, I don't see him staying to improve 1 slot in the draft. I'd like to be wrong, haha.

As for Tyus, I agree with what others have said. He was MOP of his region and the Final 4. I don't think his stock can be any higher. If he's in the 15 to 25 range, I think his best option is to go.

Who knows what will happen, but I think they are gone and I wish them nothing but success. They are great representatives of our school and great members of the Duke family.

Justise isn't and shouldn't come back. He will be drafted higher than all but Towns from Kentucky. Justise needs to go get paid and he can work in his game while getting paid.

Why does it matter that all 7 declared? How would anyone but Towns affect where Justise gets drafted?

I don't think players can "test the waters" any more, or at least they don't have much of a chance to. The NCAA Early Entry Withdrawal deadline is Sunday. They have until the 26th to declare for the draft but after Sunday they can't declare for the draft and retain their eligibility.

I think the NCAA might be revising this in the future though.

Why would he? He's going to be drafted higher then every UK player not named Towns.

they are. think next year the time is increased by a month and 1/2, the nba will send out invites to camps, no invite=no intrest from the nba so kids know that they need to come back.
