Oshae plans on coming back next year

[supp]

And I will be a big fan next year. Point is, where exactly would he go? Good player but he can't shoot worth a lick as of yet. After we won the play-in game, here were his 3 games in the round of 64:

5-17, and 0-3 from three (TCU)
4-10 and 1-4 from three (MSU)
5-15 and 0-3 from three (Duke)

Total
14-42 33% in Total
1-10 10% from three

In the NBA, he is without question a 3--a small forward, so has to learn to shoot. And if he works on it in the off-season has the potential to be one of the best players in the county.

He has to learn how to finish. He can shoot. He shot 38% from 3 in ACC play, a pretty big sample.

is he going to the combine?

if so, nothing matters till then

true story

there is a layup drill at the combine, he better return.

I won't wring my hands over these types of deals... Nothing you can do about it... We all know that whether or not a player should or shouldn't stay really means nothing.

I'll take him at his word and move along. Here's to next season!

Waiting to hear if Marek wants to go home or not.

If he doesn’t, remind me to send that girlfriend a thank you card.

and Carmelo told us college was 4 years, not 2.

 

[orangenirvana]

I would assume so.

unless there is now a D- League...

Playing in front of hundreds in the D-League is every kid's dream.

 

[Melancer46]

It feels like he should return. I’m not sure why NBA teams would touch him in the first round right now given how much he struggled as both a finisher and shooting off the dribble. Then again, I thought it was nuts that teams saw Malachi as a first round pick so what do I know? Haha

 

[JeffCuse]

IMO:
Battle comes back = 20%
Brissett comes back = 90%
Expect everyone else back. Unless Moyer transfers to get more PT elsewhere.

I'm more 30 and 80 but generally in line with your thinking

I'm a little less than enthused the tweet on which the OP was based appears to have been deleted.

and Carmelo told us college was 4 years, not 2.

And his coach kicked him out, because it was best for the kid. I think JB would tell all 3 they should stay, but would understand Tyus' at least checking it out.

 

[Finwad32]

Battle is big on education isn't he? Very good academically? And tight/roommates with Moyer?

I think the intangibles lean towards staying. If that means anything.

 

[SmilinBob]

Wait, is Oshae going pro and transferring to Kentucky?

Load of potential but at times very raw. I would love to work with him on how to finish because he has the body to body down to a science.

 

[shu 49]

I think last month he got better at finishing.

They don't. This will be a biz decision.

 

[Jake]

They don't. This will be a biz decision.

yep. Do the Battles want to try to move into lottery range next year, or hope to sneak in first round this year.

Risk vs Reward.

 

[Marty McFly]

barring injury, really don't think he will do worse than first round next year. stay, get a degree, perhaps win a title, and maybe go in the lottery... not a bad option. perhaps we can get an off-season positive surprise unlike the usual.

95% brissett
40% battle
all else return is my guess

Melo was a.lock top 3 pick.
