We are used to everyone leaving for the draft. However, it shouldnt be about just getting drafted. In some cases, if you can improve your stock drastically you should come back. Remember Terrence Jones came back for his sophomore year. Even though Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd Gilchrist were coming in as freshman, Jones was projected to go late in the first round. He returned to Kentucky for his sophomore year, teamed up with those 2 and won a national championship.
Whillie Cauley Stein came back for his junior year and became a first team All American. Bam Adebayo should consider returning for his sophomore year. Yes he will be drafted and is projected to go around 18 to 25. Who knows. I would not blame him if he left, but in his position, returning for another year could be the difference in being drafted in the 20's or the lottery. Bam and Briscoe on next years roster would make a huge impact with the guys we have coming in. And Cal started playing Issac and Bam at the same time and it looked great. I would assume he will go, but there is always a case to return if it helps you. When guys go later in the first round they end up on rosters where they are not needed immediately and could end up in the D league. We will see, but its up for discussion at least.
