 will he still enter the upcoming draft? or wait the year after? im pretty sure he will still be picked high in the draft if he enters..

[ilike.panochasParticipant]

I think he will stay another year, thats just my gut feeling. It just seems to me that Coach K usually able to convince his best players to stay longer than they should, and I think he can convince Irving to stay another year. And even if he does enter this year, I think Demitri McCamey will be the first PG chosen in this year’s draft.

[SwatLakeCityParticipant]

McCamey will not be the first point guard chosen in this years draft and you can count on it. The first true point guard, yes (If Irving stays) but not the first point guard taken. That would be Brandon Knight unless Irving goes to the NBA after his freshman year. I think you’re being a little to bias towards McCamey and not realizing the talent that Irving has. Irving is like a Chris Paul, while McCamey is like a bigger Darren Collison. Which one would you take higher. Paul obviously by a long shot.

I too think Irving will stay but only because he is hurt most of this year. Coach K. will have a little reason to do with it but ultimately it is up to Irving. And I think he wants to have more college experience than just a couple of games. A shame really, because I love his game a lot and I would really like to see him in the NBA sooner rather than later.

I see him going…. I mean look at the teams in the lotto that are hunting for pgs….. Detroit, Cleveland, Toronto, Sacramento, and Charollete. They all need pgs.. he is undoubtably the best pg in the draft. I would take him #1 if I was the Raptors or Kings. I think he is going to be another special young pg.. add him to the list lol. Cant wait to see what he does in the league.

 

Btw if he does stay. Does Rivers decommit from duke do you think?

 and his lack of upside.

He is the perfect player to come in and run your team and will be an extremely solid pro. But i just dont see him as an all star ever. Maybe I am wrong. But at least Irving and Knight have the potenial to be amazing, where as McCamey you know exactly what you getting. A solid player.

[ilike.panochasParticipant]

I really would like to know why McCamey should not be considered the top PG in this class? Seriously, what does he have to do? 15PPG, 7APG 50%FG 50% 3 PT FG and to go along with his rediculous 2.65 A/TO ratio. This guy is Andre Miller all over again. Hes a big, strong PG with legit NBA 3 point range and what I consider a great court vision. I want to know what keeps him from being the top PG? Is it because hes a senior?  Brandon Knight has shown me that he has a long way to go to be an NBA PG, he needs serious work on his passing and court vision, we know he can score, but can he run an NBA offense? McCamey is a very polished PG and is an instant impact once he arrives in the NBA.

McCamey is fine athletically and his quickness is adequate enough to go along with his size. People are just too bias when it comes to SENIOR prospects and thinks most their upside is limited compared to younger prospects, but there are exceptions (Brandon Roy) and you can also put McCamey in this exception.

He definately goes pro because all these high profile players play to get to the big stage he’s proven he’s a top guard and he will be a high pick so staying is more of a risk and a lot of these guys know they can go back to college and online while still accomplishing their dreams.

Of course Rivers doesn’t decommit from Duke, as I’ve said over and over again. He wouldn’t even be playing the point anyway, regardless of whether or not Irving stays.

NEW YORK — Celtics coach Doc Riverssaid his son, Austin, hopes to team with Kyrie Irving next year at Duke.

Austin Rivers is a 6-foot-3 shooting guard from Winter Park (Fla.) who signed with Duke last month. If he and Irving were to play together, they could form one of the most explosive backcourts in the nation.

 It’s even simpler then that.  If Irving and Meech were to go head to head Irving would own him.  McCamey is more Marcus Williams of UCONN then anybody.  He will be a better pro tho but is absolutely nothing special and will have a lot of problems guarding point guards at the next level.  Kemba Walker owned McCamey in their lineup and will be pick atleast 10 picks higher then McCamey himself.

I’m going to bookmark this thread and bump this thread up a year from now, everyone who has doubted McCamey’s ability to be a good NBA PG will be so wrong. He’s easily the most under rated prospect in this draft. People have absolutely no clue how good and talented this guy really is.

[JNixonParticipant]

Yeah. McCamey likely won’t be better than Irving, but he’s not much like Marcus Williams. McCamey has Williams’ passing, but he’s more of a natural scorer than Marcus Williams has ever been. He’s also quicker than Williams ever was too. He’s more Andre Miller than Marcus Williams. People always doubt players that don’t jump out of the gym or have earth-shattering quickness, but McCamey is a good enough athlete and he’s quick enough and a saavy enough ball-handler to be a good NBA player.

McCamey reminds me of Mark Jackson..Jackson wasnt a great athlete either and wasnt considered a future All Star and they said his upside was limited..Hell there were some that said he should’ve been a 2nd round pick and the Knicks only drafted him to draw local fans..But he came in and right away,helped made the Knicks contenders and won Rookie of the Year..Jackson had that old school game and got the ball to the right people..

a future NCAA student-athlete ends the recruiting process with all other NLI institutions

I’d like to further add, that the reason Duke won the National Championship last year was because they had players, like Smith and Thomas and Zoubek, who didn’t play immediately, but developed a ton to the point where they were good college players. 

To say "Cook has no value to Duke" is just stupid.

 I’m not doubting McCamey’s athletic ability and I certainly am not bias towards him being a senior. As a matter of fact I respect that more than anything else. But notice in 2010 the first senior wasn’t taken until the 23rd pick and probably should have gone even lower. Just because a player has that much experience doesn’t mean he should be picked a lot higher. He does not blow you away because he really doesn’t have that much athletic ability. He does when he plays against lesser competiton, but how many times have you seen him so well against better competition? Not too many I expect. Don’t get me wrong I love the guy, and he’s gonna be a solid pro in this league. Think of it this way, Eric Maynor is a solid pro, and just that a solid pro. He stayed all 4 years at VCU and really fined tuned his game. He is the perfect young backup to Russell Westbrook and also was the perfect backup to one of the best PG’s in the NBA today, Deron Williams. He is also a great passer, and quite a player too. McCamey is a lot like him just bigger. And I would love to see the Jazz draft him especially since both of them went to the same college. But like said before McCamey is a lot like Eric Maynor just a little bigger. Would you have selected Eric Maynor in the lottery of the 2009 draft? Of course not, and nobody ever would have. I have a lot of respect for McCamey and I really like his game, but I just don’t think he should go in the lottery. Now, maybe I’m wrong maybe he really is the next Dwill. And if so, that’s excellent, all the more power to him. But I don’t think so. Dwill didn’t stay for his senior year, he left being only a junior. So why do you think McCamey stayed an extra year? Could it be because he realized that his stock was not that high and for a good reason too. I don’t think it will change too much in just one year. Teams don’t notice players from schools like Illinois for good reason. They don’t get much national attention. That and superior athletic ability is what I think McCamey is missing.

Yeah you don’t have a clue right now. Illinois gets as much attention as any high major top 15 team. It’s not like you’re talking about San Diego State or BYU or a mid-major team that isn’t as known to the public, Illinois has played on national TV twice already to start this season (against Texas and UNC). Maybe you’re from an area were Illinois isn’t prevalent, but it’s erroneous to say they don’t get much national attention. They get more national attention than the average team does actually.

And in regards to the "his draft stock won’t change much in 1 year," statement, I beg to differ. McCamey has improved himself so much from a prospect perspective that he has improved his stock, and if he keeps up his body and stays slim like he’s managed to do this season so far, he will definitely improve his stock. Last year, if he would’ve stayed in the draft he would’ve been a 2nd round pick no matter what. If the season ended today he’d be a top 20 pick in the draft. You haven’t been watching college hoops obviously, because he’s not the same player he was last year. Nothing you said concerning Illinois or McCamey was right lol.

1. I think he stays because he’s played what, 8 games this year? He’s a smart kid && knows what’s best for him, && whats best for him is to stay. He can team up with Austin Rivers to form the best backcourt in a longggg time && possibly win a championship. I don’t really see his stock going down because of him staying.

2. McCamey is a good pg, he kind of reminds me of a poor man’s Deron Williams..but he is not going to be the first pg taken. With all the great young pg’s in the league today it’s almost a necessity to have above average athleticism just so you can keep up with them. He’ll be solid, real solid, but GM’s will take guys like Irving (if he leaves), Knight, Selby, && with the year he’s having maybe even Walker, ahead of him.

3. If irving stays neither Cook nor Rivers will decommit. Rivers has said time && time again he wants to play with Irving. When Cook committed he said it was a win-win situation for him because if Irving leaves thats more of a chance for him to be a starter, but if he stays he gets to play against the best pg in the nation EVERYDAY && get better.

Rivers will not decommit as he stand to be a one and done guy, he can play SG alongside Irving and will play some PG as well. Cook can be used as a back up or if he is unlikely to be in rotation then Coach K could advise him to redshirt for a year to retain extra eligibility down the line.

Irving if he is fit near the draft time can test the waters but he if he declares he would need to pass very strict medicals and if his injury wasn’t healed properly then he could start to fall down the draft as team’s cannot risk taking a player who may have some injury concerns too high in the draft. But Irving’s downside would surely be limited unless he had serious long term injury worries as he is too good a player.

I’d guess depending on how quickly he recovers, he tests the waters and then makes a final decision.

To say "Cook has no value to Duke" is just stupid

 

He will be their 5th guard next year.

Then he will be there 3rd guard the year after.

And if they bring in any Huge Irving/Rivers types he might not even ever be a starter.

This guy could start on 90% of the teams in the NCAA from day 1. I would decommit if i was him, and im a huge duke fan. Players want to play, thats the bottomline.
