Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2131883, member: 652"] Players stock rarely goes up by coming back. He talks about leaving when your a lottery pick. He is right but I would say leave if your a first round pick is more accurate. The NBA draft is becoming a freshman prospect draft. I agree with his premise but these players don't typically go from the 20s to the top 10. Buddy Hield is the only example I can see from last year. He went top 10 last year but he wasn't projected in the first round 2 years ago. The NBA cares that Hield is 23 while Jaylen Brown is 19. The NBA wants these kids younger for upside which sucks but until more Buddy Hield's are top 10 picks players are going to leave. JB gets this I believe but he is like us fans and wants these kids to stay. I did like JB saying he supports kids when they make their decision. That is why we all know Battle is gone next year. Thompson might be as well. We will milk their production for next year for sure. [/QUOTE]
