I think a lot will depend on his performance down the stretch.  He started the year on pace for an absolutely monster season, and a month ago I would have said he was for sure going to make the jump.  But he hasn’t exactly been lighting it up lately and now he’s injured. If the injury lingers, that tips the scales in favor of him staying another year, imo.

Also, since the team is very likely going to the NIT this year, his chances of turning heads on a national stage are limited.  He won’t get the NCAAT bump that Malachi Richardson experienced.

Of course, a lot depends on his mindset.  Because of his transfer year, he’s ‘old’.  He probably has his degree wrapped up or almost wrapped up right now, so that won’t be a motivator to stay.  It’s also unlikely he’ll go undrafted.  Nothing is ever guaranteed but he’s a pretty locked-in 2nd round pick.  If he’s okay with that and ready to start his pro career, then he gone.

He will absolutely test the market and get evaluated by NBA scouts at the end of the season. If his workouts go even decently well, he could easily be gone. 6’6” guys who can shoot like he can, with the athleticism he has, usually get a chance.
