Players have until April 22nd to submit their names for the draft. It is RARE for someone to submit their name this early on. For example, UK hasn't had a single guy submit their name, whereas they will probably have 5 or so guys submit.
Believe our only guy to have officially announced so far is Marvin, right? I really hope Gary or Trevon come back (zero chance with Wendell), but I wouldn't put any stock into the fact that they haven't announced their decision to leave yet, none.
I saw an article posted on Facebook yesterday from one of the Duke pages that mentioned the possibility of one of our players returning next season but it didn’t say which player.
When I read the article, he was the player that first came to mind.The article is in reference to Trent.
I was having a conversation with my son and slot of people are saying it all depends on how he sees his self in the rotation next season and where he fits
If he came back does he start?
Trent would start.
He’s not coming back, though.

I think we said that when Marvin committed last year..If Trent comes back then it's Nets getting cut

They don't cut nets for winning the Sweet 16???I think we said that when Marvin committed last year..

I’m surprised no one else from Duke has declared yet! I thought for sure we would definitely hear Wendell declaring shortly after Marvin did!
Yeah. This thread really should be focusing on Bolden. He’s more key than Trent coming back IMO. Having that depth of him and Vrank is huge considering the rest of our lineup/rotation will be between 6’2 and 6’8.
why would he not get drafted? 7 foot 265 lbs...he'd be a project for sure,but someone will take him 2nd or 3rd round

The 2019 Final Four is in Minneapolis. The nets are getting cut regardlessIf Trent comes back then it's Nets getting cut
If he continues to develop and can average 8-12 ppg and 8+ rbs then I think he’s a top 20 pick next year. One thing he definitely needs to work on is his FT shooting.Bolden and Duke staff know there is at least a 50% chance he won't get drafted. Let's say he makes it. All that means is a 1-2 million dollar contract to try and make an impression. Sure that's a good infusion for a young man. Then what? The road would be pretty uncertain from there. Let's say he doesn't get drafted. He'll easily get an NBDL tryout. Is that tryout and $50K worth as much as national exposure at Duke and one year closer to a Duke degree? The answer seems pretty clear to me. His stock is unlikely to drop from this point on. I think hanging around for graduation in 3.5 years is the way to go for the big man. Then he's got more options and potentially played his way into 1st round money, closer to 10 million, which is all he'll ever need if used properly.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see a team package a 6th and a 7th rounder to move up in the 3rd round and nab BoldenNo way he's taken in the 3rd round.
