If he leaves this year I can see him being drafted late in the 1st round. This young fella is tough and has a big heart. He will make it in the NBA.
I feel Ulis will be a 1st round pick.
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
I can see that.. But I don't next year.. And no idea what the '18 draft will look like.. I'd say if he doesn't go this year,, he'll more than likely stay all 4 years..
Only if Ulis finishes the year above 40% from 3 and 45% from 2 will he have first round dreams. Some big games and shots in the tourney would help alot. November,December shooting Ulis cannot return.
I can see it as well. BUT I'm not convinced he's leav yet. He's doing wonders on this team, imagine if he decides he wants to come back and be a leader for the guys we have coming in next year. I think we could be really good next yr but if ulis comes back to run the show we will be great. He's that pg you need who's been there and can help the young guards get even better. The idea of being able to have bigs he can throw lobs all day long to and guards who can shoot and handle the ball might be very enticing for him to think about. Plus his stock won't drop. He wil still be a 1st round pick after his jr yr. Many consider him the best pure pg right now I know size plays a factor but I think it's some he will stillconsider especially if he could help winnumber 9. With Hawkins being hurt and fiox being a freshman it would take some pressure off the freshman because he would be the leader and could help these guys. He is a big time X factor that could push next years team into the final four alone with his experience. For selfish reasons alone, I know I'm not the only one I'd love ulis to come back which is a definite possility

if i were a GM of a top NBA team and could get a player like Ulis with my late 1st round pick
i would say "sign on the dotted line kid"
i would say "sign on the dotted line kid"
um....wasn't he recovering from injury then? Can't fault him for his shooting performances those months for that reason
This years draft sucks so I could see him leaving but on the other hand the team coming in next year he could help the freshman big time which might be an insensitive for him to return to run the point next yr with fox and monk which would help there confidence and take some pressure off them immensely
I can see someone like the Spurs picking him up. He would be fantastic in Pop's system.

If teams pass him up with the late 1st round picks they will come to regret it. This kid is a winner and will make any team better. The total floor game he is doing this year is amazing and from the looks of it he's only getting better. He's averaging lately close to 20ppg and 9 assists to 2 TO a game. That is unreal folks.
I think he leaves after this year. His stock is not ever going to get any higher and it would not surprise me to see him go late in the 1st round. He would be a great asset to any of the elite NBA teams who would be drafting late. Imagine Ulis coming off the bench for the Warriors. But I really don't expect him to come back.
You could be right, but at least one projected draft I've looked at, NBA Express, has him going 48th, middle of the 2nd round. Skal and Murray are lottery picks, and Brisco the last in the 1st round. Tyler is what he is, and they have Lee as the very last pick of the draft. Just one site's take, but one a lot of people look at.
Hard to see him improving his draft stock much more than he already has, not to mention a weak draft class this year.
Have to feel a little bad for him. 4-5 inches taller and he is probably being talked about as a top 2-3 pick.
But, maybe then he doesn't have the fire and passion he does now.
I would take a gamble on him late in the first round. I am certainly not betting against him.
