I think we put too much stock on these websites. They are essentially buzz meters.  As all the recent scandals show, the draft and free agency can be dirty too when it comes to the games being played by agents and teams, and that includes manipulating mock drafts at times. Even the seasoned reporters get played or willingly used in exchange for scoops. It’s how a lot of good reporters make connections. And it happens in other reporting fields just as much as basketball. You’d be surprised at the horse trading that goes on in business / M&A reporting too.

All that said I agree Tyus’ Individual workouts and combine performances will determine his draft position. Don’t think he benefits from coming back. He’s been double  teamed so much this year and I think being  the number one option has shown scouts both his strengths and weaknesses. He’s a great kid and I’ll be rooting for his success.

I think of all our recent kids, sans Malachi and of course Dion, he still has a lot of potential and would be a great value pick in the early second or late first. Think he can get to the second contract in right situation and do well carving out an NBA career. Not sure how another year at Syracuse would really improve his stock unless scouts do rate NCAA games that highly.
