Im going to go completely against board opinion here.
Tyus did make some strides this year towards showing a dynamic skillset. He had games where he didnt score but racked up 4-7 assists and rebounded well. He expanded his game a bit, albeit inconsistently.
His stock diminished this year due to inconsistency in scoring and poor shooting percentages.
He took a gamble coming back and may have lost. In my opinion the gambles not yet over and his hand is not folded. It’s unlikely but should he choose to comeback and have the ability to not force shots (not necessarily his fault) and work on further expanding his game he could sneak back in the second round.
Its not impossible.
I still don't see him on an NBA roster right now, had he left after last season. Who leaves early to go D League? Or Turkey? I'm tired of watching guys who leave early. Look at what Villanova has done with seniors.
I suspect somewhere back about 20 years ago JB staked his future on the premise that in order to win you need top level talent, and with that comes baggage. Those risks include the "one and done" types.
I have no idea if it points to anything, but it is interesting, and whatever else he may be, Tyus isn't stupid. He's got to know he's not good enough yet to be the NBA player he so desperately wants to be.
This will be unpopular but I for one hope Battle moves on. I am tired of that style of play. The dribble for 30 seconds and launch a contested long 2.
Tyus has earned his degree in three years. Why stick around to get a masters? I think if he was reasonably assured of being drafted, most likely in the 2nd round, makes sense for him to move on. It probably would be G league but if he has confidence in his abilities, go for it."I thought you were supposed to stay in school for four years?"
One player's presence should not affect that one way or rhe other. If there are other scoring options available through good ball movement, one player should not prevent that. That's on the coaches, if he does.This will be unpopular but I for one hope Battle moves on. I am tired of that style of play. The dribble for 30 seconds and launch a contested long 2.
That may or may not be all that Ty is capable of, but until he plays with a legit center and a PG who can break down Ds we will not know for sure.

I think it depends on what he is comfortable with and the advice he is getting. If I think I'm playing in the NBA, I go. If I don't think that's going to happen, I would probably think long and hard about staying. Not everyone is looking purely at the paycheck and leaving your family to go overseas may be more uncomfortable for some than others. It depends on how much he is enjoying college, if he is ready to look at basketball as only a business, and if he would like to prepare more for his post basketball career before making the likely move overseas.Tyus has earned his degree in three years.

They won a title their stock all soared because of that.Last years Nova roster had 0 Seniors that contributed. And then they all left early.
I feel bad for Tyus...Frank really let him down. If he had gone last year after our Sweet 16 run, he probably goes late 2nd round. Who knows if that is better or worse in the long run for him. At least he will have is degree, smart kid.
