Of course no one knows for sure 100%, just like no one knew that Johnny Flynn would have a career ending injury.

But it's reasonable to think Tyler peaked during his first year.  He carried the team to s 25-0 start, the last minute buzzer beater at Pitt being shown on TV numerous times as play of the day, almost reaching sweet 16 at the tournament and winning all ACC defensive team, rookie, and second team.  On the flip side there is no reason to believe the next year would have had better team success.  Chris McCoullough injured early on, post season ban etc...even if he had stayed and have identical stats he would have slipped in the draft due to more clarity on his upside

We are not talking about Melo or LeBron here.  These are mostly marginal NBA players who need to strike when the iron is hot.  Unless a college degree is a priority, no one goes to the NBA when he is "NBA ready".

I would say CJ Fair should have left on year 3, staying one more year hurt him.  Lydon would have drafted higher if he had left after year 1.

I thought Grant left too early, was I wrong.  He had room to grow and he grew plenty while playing at the next level.
