No way in hell Edwards and Bradshaw are coming back. They were 1 and done from the start, no matter how poor they play.
He is so slow to get off the floor. Same on blocks. Ball is always past him it seems.
Bradshaw will not be out of the league in 4 years. The guy has been practicing at full speed in college for just 6 weeks. He was injured in March and was pretty much inactive for 6 months.
Reed is not a lottery pick this year, he will watch his draft stock decline as the season progresses. I think he comes back for another year.
That’s not on Bradshaw, those failed alley oops were bad passes on the guards part. When it was executed properly last night, Bradshaw finished with his head above the rim. He’s plenty athletic enough.
That sounds like wishful thinking. I'd like to see you substantiate that with actual reasons.
I'm not a huge NBA mock draft expert, but I think this year's draft is supposed to be pretty weak overall. Any guy coming back with the expectation of improving his draft stock is running a risk because of that. If next year's draft is substantially better than this year's it might be really hard to play your way into the lottery even if you improve your game quite a bit.
Are you being serious? No way Bradshaw or Edwards come back. And Reed probably gone too.
Not being in the NBA has nothing to do with them leaving early though. Once you're in the NBA your success is all on you. No one is coming back to UK for a second year and learning things that guarantees them a long NBA career. There's nothing you learn here as a sophomore you can't learn in the NBA when it's your full time job.
Yep. Anybody who expects ANY of these freshman to come back next year haven't been paying attention during the Cal tenure. Players who are borderline almost always go. Players who show potential but could use two more years almost always go. Players that show first or second round potential almost always go.
None of the guys you listed would have turned into long term NBA players even if they were here all four years. They weren't learning anything new or improving anything here at UK they couldn't also learn at the NBA level while basketball is their full time job. If you have NBA aspirations you come back to improve your draft stock, that's literally the only reason.
I know, deep down, that they're gone if they can find any way to leave. My post was more along the lines of if everyone wasn't so desperate to leave, who would stay and who would go, based on performance to this point?
No way he comes back. He doesn't WANT to work. Look at his arms. They're barely bigger than Bradshaw's and he's been here and had access to the gym all season.
I could be wrong, but a vaguely remember a quick comment from Cal during a press conference that alluded to that. Something along the lines of "Justin doesn't seem to want it as much as the other guys do" with a follow that he hopes they can get Justin the same level as everyone else. Again, don't quote me on this.
Bradshaw is gone noway a 7footer with a 3 point shot stays. Also at 7ft2 if Z has any skills at all he is gone. Sheppard stock is only gonna go up. His mom and dad understand you have to capitalize on your draft stock. Edward's is 6ft8 with guard skills chances are he is gone as well
