After the NC in 2003, there was talk of Warrick leaving also. Did his draft stock change from 2003 to 2005? His point production increased but his rebounding remained the same.  The 2003 NBA Draft was stronger than the 2005 NBA Draft so he likely wouldn't have been drafted higher.  Staying in longer could have

Warrick
Freshman: 2001-2002 (17.4 min 6.1 ppg  4.8 rpg)
Soph: 2002-2003 (32.7 min  14.8 ppg  8.5 rpg)
Junior: 2003- 2004 (37.3 min  19.8 ppg  8.5 rpg)
Senior: 2004-2005 (37.5 min  21.4 ppg  8.6 rpg)

Grant
Freshman:  2012-2013 (14.3 min 3.9 ppg 3.0 rpg)
Soph:  2013-2014 (31.4 min  12.1 ppg  6.8 rpg)

This draft is considered top heavy and not that strong. As we all know,  the NBA drafts on potential and with Grant's pedigree that looks promising for a team.  With Harrell coming back to college, Grant's stock went up higher.  I have no problem with the decision just as long as he takes advantage of the workouts and shows off what he can do.   What concerns me is that he sat out after having back issues towards the end.  The NBA schedule is three times as many games as college.  If he was nursing a back problem towards the end then he will only be 1/3 of the way through the season.  He should be rehabbing that back to make it stronger now before the workouts start.   It will be interesting to find out what happens at his physical for the draft.
