3. I know there was some grumbling about why he declared…even if you don’t watch much NBA, surely you can understand why a prospect with his size and skill would still get invited to some workouts. Figure out the shot, add 20 lbs, continue developing, and you can envision at least a productive college player, and maybe at least a chance to play at a higher level than that.

I think 1 thing to keep in mind on this piece is that the NBA combine and draft process aren’t solely consumed by NBA decision makers. International scouts are scoping things as well. In Sharavjamts, we’re talking about a foreign-born player who, while of course the NBA is option 1, may well have a more expansive view of professional options that he would be happy to embrace. He might be happy to play in the ABL or Europe or China or wherever the best immediate opportunity presents itself. If so, putting himself in front of scouts at every opportunity makes perfect sense. It’s also why I feel pretty comfortable looking at him as strictly a 1-year guy, which seems ideal.

Darn it!  I was so hoping he would stay in!

Might be a shooting guard to look at

I want this guy!!!  Good player, decent size for a shooting guard, and shoots the 3 ball well!

I always figured he'd be back. Carson Edwards leaving early is about the only setback that program has had in recent memory.

Two-time-loser-to-Indiana is running it back? I’m shaking in my boots.

Strange combination for his list.  Also think he can be exploited if he's being asked to defend the against any kind of speed at the guard position.  Think he's a 3 at this point in his development, not a point.  Not sure where his minutes come.

He could run point offensively without having to guard a guard.

Well Edey returning very firmly places them somewhere 1-3 in the polls to begin the year.

Zyon Pullin (UC Riverside, 18.3 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 4.2 apg, shot 48/39/77) withdraws from draft.  Final five list for him is Florida, LSU, Xavier, Gonzaga, and Michigan.

[RaceToTheTop]

Just madness.....DeAndre Williams went to Evansville in 2018-19 but had to sit that year due to acadmic eligibility issues.  That year did count toward his four years.  Played a year  at Evansville before transferring to Memphis.  Played three years there and avergaed 17.7 points/game.  Is now applying for a waiver and sounding like he is going to lawyer up.

Because of the 2018-19 year, he has already used five years even though he did not play that year.  If his waiver is granted, he would turn 27 before he played any games next year at Memphis.

I would think so. They won the conference last year and were a 1 seed. His backcourt will be a year older. They will be with msu as favorites for the conference next year.   
 

The tourney loss is embarrassing for them but UVA won the title after their first round upset, so it doesn’t mean much.

It's getting harder and harder to say that the Purdue loss last year was a fluke after continual losses to poorly seeded teams, though.  As long as Edey is there, Purdue will put up a good record.  But as long as they remain as unathletic as they are, teams are going to exploit that in the tourney.  They didn't fix that issue.

I've seen a lot of Purdue fans gravitating toward this parallel, but there a couple things they don't seem to realize:

1) De'Andre Hunter was out for Virginia when they lost to UMBC. 

2) Hunter, along with two others, were drafted after winning it all. Edey is the only one who has a prayer at getting drafted, and the chances of that might have diminished since he'll be a year older. 

 

I'm sure none of this will stop the Final Four talk from starting up after Edey dominates somebody in November.

It's Purdue, they'll Purdue it.

Virginia also had only two losses all season heading into the UMBC game while Purdue had two just to Indiana.  Purdue will certainly put up a lot of wins but the issues they seem to have come tournament time are still relevant ones.  They didn't fix the athleticism issue....they basically added the kid from Southern Illinois and lost Newman, which is basically a wash.  The freshman guards will be a year older but Fletcher Loyer in particular can still be exposed.

I didn’t say they’ll pull a Virginia, only that one bad upset doesn’t invalidate their squad.  They lost in the S16 before that and to that Virginia squad (just barely) in the E8 not long ago. We haven’t been that far in two decades. 
 

They have a good team coming back. They’ll be favorites to finish high in the conf. What they do in the tourney doesn’t concern me much because we likely won’t face them there. We’ll definitely see them twice in the B1G.
