  1. C.J. Leslie hasn’t officially
    C.J. Leslie hasn’t officially committed yet although it is likely he will enter. Lorenzo Brown is the only one to officially declare. The initial report said both guys but it was debunked by Leslie himself on Twitter.

    That being said, the chances he declares are at about 95%.

  2. UK
    Archie Goodwin has announced his intent to enter the draft, but will not hire an agent. Willie Cauley-Stein will return for his sophomore season and Kyle Wiltjer will stay and not transfer or leave early.

    • Wiltjer
      Is not entering the draft. He has stated that he has no intention of transferring.

      BUT

      I still think he might transfer though. Thats a VERY loaded frontcourt next year, with WCS returning.

      Wiltjer will play PF exclusively, as Dakari Johsnon, Willie Cauley-Stein, and if necessary, Julius Randle will all be better choices to play C.

      That said, at the 4, it’s Randle, then Wiltjer and Marcus Lee battling for backup minutes. That’s a tough battle, unless Wiltjer can do some serious work in the weight room. Lee will be the better defender of the two in any situation, and that plays heavily in Calipari’s decision making process.

      You add it all up, and not even counting the potential for small lineups with the extremely talented guards UK will have, there just aren’t many minutes to go around. If Wiltjer comes back, he’s either a redshirt (so not likely) or hoping to lead the way the following year as a senior. Neither situation seems likely.

      It’s curious how Calipari didn’t make an announcement about Poythress. You would expect to hear him included in the announcement with the others.

      • Wiltjer is not going
        Wiltjer is not going anywhere. His chances for the NBA now, next year or the next are slim to none anyways and letting a 3-point shooter with his size walk away, not a chance that happens. Wiltjer knows his role with the team going forward and knows he will not get the minutes he did this past season. He will play more against teams who use a lot of zone defense.

      • As good as the harrison twins
        As good as the harrison twins and james young are, I’m not sure they’re totally lights out shooters. Cal will need a zone buster next year, and his best shooter by far is Wiltjer

  3. Russ Smith
    I feel like this site is undermining Russ Smith’s ability. I feel like he could be the Tony Allen of PG’s in the league. He’s tough as nails, and I think he’s secured himself in the mid-second round with a chance to go early in that round.

    • Russ Smith is extremely
      Russ Smith is extremely undersized to be a 2 guard in the NBA, but he is tough and can score. Second round seems legit for him, but I think he returns for his senior season at Louisville.

  4. Shabazz…not yet
    Though it’s probably 99.9% likely he will announce to leave for the NBA…I don’t believe Shabazz has officially declared for the draft. Shabazz retracted Howland’s statement that he was headed for the draft and said his decision had not been made yet.

    http://tracking.si.com/2013/03/06/ucla-howland-apologizes-for-comments/

    “I never said I wasn’t coming back,” Muhammad said. “I never said I’m not coming back even though I know I’m in a pretty good position draft-wise. But I’m looking at our team next year and we could be really good. I’m just worried about this season right now and whether I want to come back or not — that’ll be after the season.”

  5. Dieng Gone, Behannon Returning
    According to Rick Pitino, Gorgui Dieng and Russ Smith will announce they are leaving this afternoon. He also mentioned that Chane Behanan will return.

  6. Man
    About 1/2 the guys who were projected as 1st rounders decided to stay. Good for the NCAA and no so good for this years draft which wasn’t that great to begin with
