He could post a "narrow down to final 2: staying or going".

are we waiting for white smoke?

 

[Niastri]

Disregarding basketball, college can be one of the most fun times in your life--enjoy it while you can, Judah.

Totally agree. Also, being rich and famous while in college has got to be absolutely amazing...

I was neither and still look back at those 14 years of my life with great fondness.

58 picks and Judah is bouncing around the mid 50s. I’m sure it would be a disappointment to not hear his name called.

Judah is like a taller Kay Felder. Jk


Seeing that list alone would be enough for me to come back.

Judah 54 in aggregate.

I have no idea what he'll do, but I think he went into the process thinking he'd be slated for early second round, and would try - through the combine, workouts, etc. - to increase his stock to late first round. Hearing predictions of very late second round has to be a major disappointment for him. However, all it takes is a promise. Hornets have picks 2, 27, 34, 39 and 42. So if he gets a promise from Charlotte he's going at 42 at the latest, and he might be ok with that.

 

[JLine]

I really think he will play his way into becoming a first rounder with another year. But, I also really think that Judah is super confident in his ability to make it as a 2nd rounder.

One of the other guys at the same workout Judah had is slated ahead of Judah. With that many picks would expect Charlotte moves one or two as well

Other than injury what is the risk of returning?

Other than the biggest risk, what is the risk?

 

[AlaskaSU]

If he is going to make it, it will be as a playmaker. He is not being considered because of his offense (driving to the basket) or his defense (at 175 lbs.). The 2023/24 Cuse team is not as favorable for a playmaker as last year's team.

Not as favorable? That's a guess. I would say that it's more favorable especially if they are playing fast which is Reds intent. You are just throwing shade.

Playing on a 10 win Syracuse team.

We win Maui.

I wonder if Judah has thought about one more year towards a degree?

The word out of Chicago is that Lonzo Ball may never play again. What does he have to fall back on with one year of college besides his father?

Uh... the millions he's made and the remaining years on his guaranteed contract, maybe?

You mean in addition to the 71 mil that he has earned so far and the 40 mil he is due to be paid in the next two seasons. I'm sure a sheepskin can be bought with some of that cabbage.

 

[dasher]

I must be crazy but I am willing to bet anyone we win more than 10 games next year. We don't need Judah for that.

You're not crazy but we would need good years from our transfers.

I think we win a minimum of 20 with Judah, probably 15 without him and one injury away from disaster.

I think we win 10 games, someone asked what the risks of coming back were, him leading another bad team won’t help him unless he has a Fultz type year.
