Honestly, how many players get worse?  I can't remember anybody we've had who was a draft prospect who played themselves out of the draft.  Give me an example.  John Wallace?  Mali only shot 35% from three and 37% overall, meaning he didn't finish at the rim very well on the drive.  He also only shot 72% from the foul line, which is not very good for a guard.  I think his overall shooting would have improved next year, he would have become more consistent, and he probably would have increased his scoring to 16 or 17 PPG and made All Conference in the ACC.  I think he had the talent to go higher than 22nd.  I think he could have improved to the 10-15 range. Just my opinion, of course, but I see little risk in kids being rated lower because they came back for a second year.  Third or fourth year, yes, those guys get discounted in the draft, but some of them don't, if their teams have great years and they become All American types of players,.
