2649070, 2018 NBA Draft Early Entries Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Apr-03-18 03:24 PM
The season's over. Congrats to Villanova. Now, to follow many of these talented kids to the next level...
Here are the athletes who've declared for the NBA Draft and signed with an agent that have a realistic chance at going in the first round (let's say they're Top 50 draft prospects pre-combine):
Rawle Alkins- Arizona DeAndre Ayton- Arizona Marvin Bagley- Duke Mo Bamba- Texas Keita Bates-Diop- OSU Miles Bridges- MSU Troy Brown- Oregon Tony Carr- Penn State Aaron Holiday- UCLA Jaren Jackson Jr- MSU Justin Jackson- Maryland Brandon McCoy- UNLV DeAnthony Melton- USC Chimezie Metu- USC Shake Milton- SMU Michael Porter Jr- Missouri Mitchell Robinson- n/a Landry Shamet- Wichita State Anfernee Simons- n/a Allonzo Trier- Arizona Robert Williams- Texas A&M Trae Young- Oklahoma
And here are some guys who have declared *without* signing with an agent that have a realistic shot at getting drafted second round (asterisks by guys who could realistically go first round):
Bruce Brown*- Miami Noah Dickerson- Washington Carsen Edwards- Purdue Jacob Evans*- Cincinnati Melvin Frazier*- Tulane Jaylen Hands- UCLA Jalen Hudson- Florida Jalen McDaniels- San Diego State Josh Okogie- Georgia Tech Shamorie Ponds- St. John's Kerwin Roach- Texas PJ Washington- Kentucky Lindell Wigginton- Iowa State Austin Wiley- Auburn
And finally, a list of guys I think could've been draftable who've decided to come back to school:
Daniel Gafford- Arkansas Markis McDuffie- Wichita State Zach Norvell- Gonzaga
We can add to this in the replies as more and more announcements happen.

2650067, Spellman's the NBA guy on that Nova team IMO Posted by bentagain, Tue Apr-10-18 12:50 PM
In the age of 1 and done, how in the entire fuck is Nova/Wright getting kids to redshirt?

2650110, Spellman was forced to redshirt by the NCAA. Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Apr-10-18 03:49 PM
Jay had nothing to do with it. It was an eligibility issue, IIRC.

2650044, in WTF news: Marcus Derrickson hiring an agent Posted by thejerseytornado, Tue Apr-10-18 10:00 AM
enjoy europe/d-league. coulda been a contender next year. doesn't have the athleticism, but that shot and overall offensive game is awesome.

2650048, Tired of being put on blast by Ewing during timeouts. Posted by Beezo, Tue Apr-10-18 10:30 AM
Thanks for that classic Derrickson.

2650053, oh its that guy? lmao Posted by cgonz00cc, Tue Apr-10-18 11:33 AM
one of the all time great mic pick-ups from a coach

2650047, this time of year has become real bittersweet Posted by cgonz00cc, Tue Apr-10-18 10:15 AM
especially because almost all Michgan EEs nowadays are more or less a surprise from the previous summer
Burke, Hardaway, Stauskas, GR3, Wilson, and now maybe Matthews. all afterthoughts 12 months before they got drafted.
no idea what Mo will do, he showed improvements in all the right areas but still isnt getting a 1st round projection in most places. if he comes back....hooo boy.

2650094, Don't get Trent going Posted by Marauder21, Tue Apr-10-18 03:10 PM
He could use another year or two and his family isn't hurting for money.
|
2650109, He's ready. Led the ACC in 3-point shooting as a frosh. Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Apr-10-18 03:48 PM
That'd be difficult to replicate, tbh. Combine that with his good positional size, he'll get drafted, and while Givony has him mid-second, I've seen a number of places that have him mid-first. Odds are he'll be somewhere in the middle-- would love to see the Celtics or Warriors give him a look end of first.
He just doesn't have too much to gain by coming back. If he shoots, say, 38% instead of 40% from 3 next year, it'd hurt his stock.

Mo Wagner signing with an agent, and leaving a storied career for M fans to remember for a looooong time
he deserves a good team in the bottom of the first round
summer league might be real fun
|
2651667, Charles Matthews declares, no agent Posted by cgonz00cc, Fri Apr-20-18 12:05 PM
I have to assume the UAC is going to tell him to go back and get better at the things John Beilein is good at teaching
The shooing numbers are ok overall but 49/32/56 isnt an NBA split

2651742, Tyus Battle declares, no agent Posted by DJR, Fri Apr-20-18 05:10 PM
