Why Skal Will Declare for Draft

May be true but a lot of his former player showed up to celebrate his induction into the Hall of Fame.
For the long term Skal's best bet might be to do a Wiltjer. Transfer to a different school where he'd have a year to work on his strength and skills and then play where he could be the star. There is no doubt in my mind that the kid has talent and abilities but I'm not sure Cal's system is the best to develop and utilize those abilities.
If Ulis and Skal return, and we add Bolden to our class, then yes, I do think the hype would be ridiculous.
hilarious.
in 2 months...wiltjer will probably never play basketball in this country ever again. wiltjer is exactly the same as he was at uk. which is why he left. wiltjer isnt a bit better. he just now plays in a zone against teams like san fransico and seattle. puts up huge numbers because he gets to shoot tons of shots. he isnt stronger, he isnt a better defender or rebounder.
do you even watch basketball?
That would be the worst case for Skal.
He is already older than those in his class.
Age means everything.
Using your logic he would be 23 entering the draft and that is not a good thing.
For only about the last 60 years.
You do realize that saying Skal should consider a transfer like Wiltjer isn't the same as equating their skills, abilities, or potential. But then you were obviously so busy laughing that you overlooked that part where I said that Skal had the necessary abilities.
If you are projected to go in the lottery , why in the world would you transfer and have to sit out a year ?
Skal has gone from being an almost universal top 5 projection to completely falling off the projected list for some recent mock drafts. As good as Cal is at developing talent he isn't infallible and his method doesn't appear to be working so well for Skal. I truly hope that the young man can turn it around in the last half of the season.
They all need to leave (our guys, Duke's, KU's, UNC's, etc.).
Take advantage of a weak draft.
Better to be drafted late in a weak draft than not be drafted at all in a strong draft.
That is why I think a lot of these so-so guys jump ship and declare.

People can talk about him being able to work on his game 24/7 but he will undoubtedly play at least a season (prob 2) in someplace like Ft Wayne, Reno, Bakersfield, etc. Big assumption that he: a)will have access to high level teaching, b)access to great weight programs, c) not be miserable as hell playing in the middle of nowhere in front of empty seats. Yes, he would get his 3 year guarantee one year earlier. Not a clear best option as some are saying....especially for a kid already working through major adjustments.
