     i hope tony bradley returns, with another year he could move into the top 15..right now he’s a late 1st rounder…i think marques bolden has the most upside of any center prospect in this draft….there will be some teams taking a chance on him in the 1st round….

      Seven footer with big potential from a strong team staying……I’m betting on him not.

     Jarrett Allen is a guy who should really return a year. Reminds me of Rabb in regards to what another year of development could do for him. Could slide to the 2nd round similar to Davis

       You are implying Rabb made the right decision? How waiting a year and likely drop 10 picks down in the first round a good decision for your career?

     Another very talented freshman that could leave early (2-3 years) is Tyus Battle at Syracuse.

     Josh Jackson (likely a top 5 pick this year) should be on the one-and-done list

     Collins will likely stay for an opportunity to develop like other Gonzaga greats.

      If the Zags finish undefeated, I think he rides the wave and strikes while the iron’s hot. Just my opinion…..

    I didn’t know Ky Bowman is a freshman. I love watching him play he always impresses. He is very poise lightning quick and strong on the ball. He’s gonna be a very good college player.

      I think there’s an outside shot he declares this year, at least to get his name out there. I like him in the 25-35 range.
