Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 4632978, member: 1674"] The issue is there’s a world in which he does all that and still doesn’t improve his draft stock or even sees it decline. Just my relatively educated guess here, but If he’s drafted in the top 40, he’ll likely be paid more in the NBA than what we’ll realistically offer. The later in the top 40 it gets, the more likely it is that we can make the money close enough that he decides it’s worth the risk to return to school. That’s why this period where he’s getting feedback from teams will be so important. I think most teams and most in the media expected him to spend two years here so it’s possible the draft stock that we’ve been reading about in 2023 drafts is not accurate and he was already basically on the fringe of making more money where he was projected to be drafted than he’d make here.
