[JFCats22]

Looking at that list it's easy to see how Bam could fall out of the 1st round.

 

[true blue1]

I still think Bam is a top 15 pick.

 

[caneintally]

I still think Bam is a top 15 pick.

Not sure if he is that but he is a 1st rounder. Will that be enough for him? we will see.

 

[Smashcat]

Does Swanigan take an agent and jump or come back for his third year at Purdue?

 

[JonathanUSAF]

Simmons of Arizona declared and signed with an agent? Wow!

 

[JFCats22]

I still think Bam is a top 15 pick.

No way. At least not now. Maybe that changes in the workouts but it is VERY easy to list 20+ guys that will be picked (as of now) ahead of him.

 

[JFCats22]

Simmons of Arizona declared and signed with an agent? Wow!

Trier announces he is returning to Arizona. They had a chance to be preseason #1. Losing Simmons hurts

 

[NCukcat62]

I still think Bam is a top 15 pick.

If he had a jumper and could occasionally hit 3s, he would be top ten. But he doesn't so that's why he will fall. Yes I want him back

 

[GonzoCat90]

Think Collins has said he'll sign with an agent and stay in. That's another guy ahead of Bam, but again, no surprises so far. The guys leaving are guys already projected ahead of Bam. If he was comfortable with his stock when he declared, none of these guys leaving changes that because we expected them to go.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Does Swanigan take an agent and jump or come back for his third year at Purdue?

I think his Dad is an agent of some type so probably won't need to sign with anyone.

 

[Deli owl]

Didn't see Hump

 

[westerncat]

If he had a jumper and could occasionally hit 3s, he would be top ten. But he doesn't so that's why he will fall. Yes I want him back

I think he has a decent jumper just did not see a lot of it this year. Don't look for him to be back if he has a good combine showing.

 

[spotter34]

No way. At least not now. Maybe that changes in the workouts but it is VERY easy to list 20+ guys that will be picked (as of now) ahead of him.

Not to mention all the foreign players that will get drafted in both rounds, but particularly the 1st round.

 

[shaudyshaud]

Rawle Alkins for Arizona also declared for the draft but he didn't hire an agent

 

[downw/ball-lineD]

Clearly, I'm no NBA GM, but there are not 20 better prospects from that list that I would take ahead of BAM. Maybe not even 10 I'd take ahead of him. I just think Bam's potential, measurable s, intangibles, work ethic and attitude are top notch.

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

Counted 26 guys who are getting an agent besides IB who will not be in the first round, or maybe any round. If any of the "testers' get positive feedback, the first round is looking very crowded especially with the certain addition of a few foreign guys.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

I hope bam falls to late second round. We need him back big time next yr. if we get him back and bamba, on paper it rivals wcs and towns. Kermit will be working overtime

 

[Blueaz]

God help us IF he goes top 20...




Cal. Had three players drafted in the top 20 and three seniors and could only make the final Eight

 

[JonathanUSAF]

While your point is factual, we lost to the national champions on a last second shot by an unheralded player that probably only makes that shot 25% of the time in a game situation. The foul trouble against UNC is what killed UK, not Calipari's coaching. So yes, we didn't win the championship, but no shame in this season.

I really wanted him. I like his game.
