Early entries

[imajericho]

I do not have the whole list but

Jordan Bell
Nigel Williams-Ross

Both declare with agent.

Someone get the whole list when you can.

Oregon is losing their big three. Gonzaga 2 of their best.

Here's one such list:

[What Would Jesus Do?]

As I understand it, they have to declare by April 23, so we'll know who's in by April 24. But then they have until May 24 to withdraw and still return to school.

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Frankly, I don't understand why Joel and Theo aren't testing the waters - just to get the feedback and have the experience.

 

[imajericho]

I think we have around 38 early entrants with agents.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I will be shocked if Bam returns to UK. But it would be refreshing if he did.

40 on the DraftExpress list (if I counted correctly).

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Only 11 seniors in Draft Express' mock. NONE in the 1st round.

Sort of sad.

Cuz u have to pay for your own workouts and travel if you do without an agent. So why do it if you are gonna return regardless

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

This early entry list doesn't have the nice sorting features of the DraftExpress one, but they project a range of where players are likely to be drafted. I figure their guesses are probably better than mine.

Justin is projected 18-35
Tony is projected 25-45

Thanks, I didn't know that. Still worth doing if you can afford it, I would think. For the fun and feedback.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

How do these things work? I mean you declare and then what happens? Is there a schedule of events? If you are paying your own way, can you just pick a few events and then pull out if you run out of dough, or learn what you need to know?

Combine. Some teams invite players to workout for them. Etc.

That's a pretty big range. Looks more like a CYA guess instead of an educated one.

No means no.

 

[Tigertown_a_Rick]

I think we have around 38 early entrants with agents.

From the looks of things, there's going to be a lot of broken hearts on draft day because those figures are not counting the number of foreign players who are also submitting their names to be drafted....A lot of guys either heading overseas or to the NBDL IMO!

I could personally care less who enters the NBA Draft because I don't watch hardly any NBA games until the playoffs, and even then, I don't watch a lot of playoff games until maybe the Eastern and Western Semifinals, but I do hope both Berry and Bradley return to Carolina because I watch ALL of the Tar Heels' games that are televised!

 

[Heeelz46]

lol it's hilarious how watered down things have gotten now. You've only got like 30 draft spots available in round one and we've got like 100 players declaring. It's becoming a mockery , all due to this ridiculous rule of one and done etc.

 

[imajericho]

I could easily see either bam or swanigan staying in also.

How about proper spelling?

[Acc1950]

Can we get a short list of those not declaring

 

[SeaHawk98]

Got to figure a lot of these guys are getting bad advice. It always amazes me every year so many early entries with so few roster spots. I am sure a study has been done, but would be interesting on what percentage actually make it. I am guessing, it is very low.

Most would go undrafted, but there's no harm in testing the waters.

Frankly, I don't understand why Joel and Theo aren't testing the waters - just to get the feedback and have the experience.

I'm a little surprised too. It seems like a no brainer to me. Let the pros see you and tell you what you need to work on. Then make an educated decision by 5/24. It certainly helped JJ.

If you figure only about 1% of all college players make the pros... Here's a study by CBS Sports regarding underclassmen being drafted.

Interesting link. A shame they don't have the last couple of years - so we could see if what looks like an uptick in early entrants going undrafted is a trend.

Frank Jackson to enter draft, but not hire agent per ESPN.

Bam signs with agent and so does Johnson from Louisville.

 

[HeelFan58]

early and prolonged.

 

[al would]

I will be shocked if Bam returns to UK. But it would be refreshing if he did.

yeah .. if the league drafts on upside and potential he's a home run .. jmho

Johnson....

https://www.fanragsports.com/news/kentuckys-bam-adebayo-will-sign-agent-say-nba-draft/

Bam signs with agent and so does Johnson from Louisville.

I can't believe some are saying Bam could go late in the 1st or even slip to the 2nd round. The few times I saw him he looked as good as expected - especially considering he was playing with a couple of ball hogs.

Shouldn't be any worse than late lottery.

 

[imajericho]

Bradley looked better to me than Bam imo. Bradey has Dwight"s shoulders

 

[TarHeelMark]

Bonzie Colson still has eligibility? Dang.... dude seems like he's been at ND for 8 years.

 

[HeelFan58]

Bonzie Colson still has eligibility? Dang.... dude seems like he's been at ND for 8 years.

I think he was a freshman when Adrian Dantley was a senior or was that when Austin Carr was a senior or to put it in another context Amile Jefferson's 3rd freshman year..
