Declaring early for the draft

[Hutch89]

I don't like it, but agree Happ's going to be really good. As for Haas? I think he'll have trouble playing a lot of minutes- averaged only 14mpg this past year. I know that was backing up Hammons, but I have a hard time imagining him playing 20+ mins a game. Just too much of a big lumbering dork.

Is that Greg Oden's brother?

Maybe I missed it somewhere but I just read online that Vince Edwards is testing the NBA draft waters.....

I feel bad for a lot of these kids that I see declaring. Granted Edwards and multiple others aren't hiring agents but its still scary.

Why is it scary? It's basically a job fair if you don't hire an agent.

In some of the cases maybe it will be a slap in the face with a dash of cold reality that they really aren't as good as they may think they are.  And maybe some of them will take the message to heart, go back to the gym and work their ass off to improve their game next season.  The others will simply blow off what they hear.

What an idiot. No IU in the top 25??

[southsidehoosier]

Yeah, no kidding- but USC is #14 and UCLA top 10.......

"which brings me to my next point kids don't smoke crack"

Prediction where Thomas get drafted next year? I say 12. Could see 6-25 range

Troy Williams getting his reps in today on his shooting. Big piece for him in his game

Starts in HS. Every kid that plays the AAU circuit thinks they can play in the NBA and nobody tells them any different.

JBJ declares for the draft but will not hire an agent.

I think he wants so badly to turn pro that he will leave if he thinks he's drafted. Jmo

[X-Hoosier]

Why not? What does he really have to lose? Go and get face to face info with NBA scouts. Win-win for him.

Williams at No. 36 and JBJ at No. 56 on this ranking of just underclassmen who have declared. #iubb
