Justin Edwards

Yes…he can return to college. Highly doubt that’s even a thought but he could.
JE rolled the dice and crapped out. #SAD
Wouldn’t mind having him back, but seems highly unlikely.
Exactly, he is now a professional athlete
We don't have any minutes for him. He isnt gonna come here to not play. Same reason Riley didn't.
He should if he's able to. He had a terrible freshman season especially based on the hype he came in with.
They all have agents now, even in college. Not sure about his eligibility.
Does he not graduate from Cal university then?
Hard to believe this time last year he was believed to maybe be the #1 pick and Reed expected to be a 3 year player.....smh
I believe he is the first college basketball player that started a college basketball season projected as a no. 1 pick in SOME mock nba drafts to never get drafted. Stunning.
Cal needs another starting guard and Arkansas has lots of cash......
Ouch, even Klutch couldn’t get him drafted last like Livingston last year.
2024 NBA Draft Dates, Deadlines To Watch
When is the deadline for early entrants to declare? When does the combine take place? Here are the key pre-draft dates.

Incorrect. They all have agents now. He can return to college.
I saw almost zero growth from Edwards over the course of the season. Had unlimited leash, unlimited opportunity. I'm looking at these other guys, that are largely unheard of and unseen. But they all look and move like athletes. I don't think Edwards took advantage of the facilities and opportunities Kentucky had to offer in terms of physical conditioning. I think that's ultimately what cost him the most. I think GMs saw a kid that doesn't take basketball seriously as a profession.
Cal contributed to it but Justin was a pretty flawed player. He never did anything well and his athleticism was very underwhelming.
The way Rich Paul operates he probably told teams not to draft Justin Edwards
Do you remember the multiple dunk attempts that he bricked off the rim? Astonishing
NBA not interested in players who elite skill is getting dunks blocked by the rim.
How does Cal need another starting guard?
DJ Wagner, Boogie Fland, Johnell Davis, Billy Richmond, Karter Knox, and apparently he has promised Thiero that he can and will play the SF spot some.
That's 6 dudes already for 3 spots, how would they need a 7th?
Happy he gets to go home at least. Think he’s a good kid that had a hard time mentally when he didn’t have an answer in his tool belt at the college level when things weren’t going well.
Can’t imagine the psychological toll he’s went through the past year. Today was no different sadly.
I hope he sticks with the Sixers. He can always remember his Laettner game against Alabama's only Final Four team.
I hope he has success and he seemed like a good kid.
I just hate the mentality of top recruits these days . But the NBA is to blame though . Look at who is getting drafted over older productive guys that spent a few years in college .
If Cal would have just brought him off the bench, he could have been a top 10 pick.
Colorado had 2 first round draft picks and a 3rd in the second round. How did they lose 12 games? Is Deion the coach?
I knew he wouldn’t be drafted, what a stupid move honestly. Whoever advised him was dumb.
Conditioned like a buttered biscuit.
Aren't they all now technically. College and high school kids are signing with agents and representatives to land lucrative NIL deals.
Unfortunately, the draft didn't pan out for him as envisioned but I still wish him luck pursuing his professional career. Some kids just get bad advice or seem hell bent on the next stage. Another season of college would've helped him regardless what the pundits say about draft class strength.
I don't remember all the details surrounding the mock drafts when Chris Marcus played for WKU, but I believe he was thought to be in contention for #1 around the 2001 or 2002 NBA Draft. He ended up getting hurt, undrafted, and never playing a game in the NBA.
His measurements were not good and he has tape missing dunks. Not surprised. It’s not like he’s a knockdown shooter, has a good handle, is a great athlete, or can score in a variety of ways either.

That’s funny in today’s age. As if college kids don’t have agents.
I think the portal is closed for him.
Yep. Adem Bona gets drafted but Tshiebwe can’t? LOL. And then there’s Bronny… what an embarrassment for the league.
