Rick Pitino Announces Louisville's Montrezl Harrell And Terry Rozier Are Both Declaring For NBA Draft

Others?
 
I'm not sure Tyus Jones and Winslow are leaving turdham if the blew devils lose the tourney. Okafor shoots free throws as good as my 6-year-old niece blindfolded.

Without knowing her, I still get the feeling you're selling her a little short here... she can't be that bad. He's terrible!

I think Duke loses Jones, Okafor and Kick Ball. Also, Dekker for Wiscy better go.
I can see Kick Ball declaring, he seems to have the ego.
Whiplash (aka eddie munster) would be wise to weigh it up, his stock is high.
Okafor should go cause I can see him getting exposed as a soph (big hands, can drive, but severely limited hops)
 
Winslow is ranked in the Top Ten of every major Draft Board that I have seen. Tyus "Ugly" is a first round pick with guaranteed millions waiting on him if he is indeed picked in the first round. Also say goodbye to Q. Cook. Dook will be beatable regardless of instant transfers that may transfer in (imo)...
 
Tyus, Winslow, and Okafor are all going.

Duke sold out for this year. If it doesn't pay off with a championship they might be in bad shape for a few years.
 
I am not so sold on Cook going. Despite Jay Bilas propping him as a great guard, he in fact is little more than a very good spot up shooter that benefits from playing on a team with very good inside players. That often leaves him wide open to shoot the three. He may hang around the NBA for a couple of years, but other than being able to shoot when wide open I just don't see him bringing much to the NBA table.

If Cook doesn't go I am flipping out since he is a Senior.
 
The fact that we aren't talking about any of our guys in this thread speaks volumes to where UNC basketball is right now....not a bonafide NBA player on the roster and zero signees to date.

He is.

That's the second time someone has said something about someone going early who was a senior.

Quinn Cook and now him.

Thanks for confirming I'm not losing my mind Jericho. I'm seeing the talk on here of Cook staying and am like, wait how is he NOT. a senior?!?

Accurate. There's a slight chance that Jones stays but it would be foolish. He won't have near the talent surrounding him next year as he does this year. He'll be a marked man. And with questions already about his size, he'd fall like a lead zeppelin in the draft.

anyone think mcadoo would have been a big help this year and improve his draft position?
I doubt it. Roy would have wanted to get time for Brice and Hicks anyway. So that would mean even less minutes for JMM. I think he would have improved as a basketball player but I don't think his draft stock would have improved. What would it have meant to us? Not much honestly. Maybe we win another game or two because JMM is a better defender than either Brice or Hicks. The Wisconsin game would have been interesting simply because it would have been another body to throw at Kaminsky, Dekker and Hayes. But ultimately, I think we're essentially the same team with or without JMM.
