Big Ten getting ravaged with early NBA declarations.

[Purple Pile Driver]

Don’t know how many will stick in the draft, but the league will be way weaker if all these underclassman leave:

Carsen Edwards
Kaleb Wesson
Joe Weiskamp
Romeo Langford
Charles Matthews
Jordan Poole
Isaiah Roby
Lamar Stevens
Ignas Brazdeikis
Amir Coffey
Tyler Cook
Anthony Cowan Jr
Bruno Fernando

Gotta think most come back. Langford and Fernando are the only sure fire high picks.

You mean ravaged, right?

Lol, yeah

Langford is good, but could use some work on his shot before trying to go NBA. Iggy was inconsistent on offense at times.

Hope Coffey goes. Seen enough of him.

Agree, but he will still go in the first 15 picks.

a couple guys on this list are done with school....coffey is one....cook is another....and there are a couple more

they may choose high risk over books

Fernando and Langford are first round locks. Probably top 20, possibly lottery. I don't see any way they stay with that projection, even if they "could" move up if they stay another year. Get your money.

Edwards is projected top of the second round. He's undersized for an NBA guard, but coming off of this season and his Elite Eight performance his stock will probably never be higher. It's odd for a junior who's not a first-rounder to go into the draft but for him it's probably his best shot.

I've seen Cook, Brazdeikis, and Roby mocked in the late second round, but I'm guessing they (along with the rest of the underclassmen on the list) come back. They can improve their stock and it's not as risky.

Are you sure Langford is after this year?

cook said he's hiring an agent

Yes. One bad year, you can blame the team. Two bad years, everyone blames you.

Hiring an agent doesn't mean the same thing any more. They changed the rules this year, you can hire an agent and still go back to school.

Thanks

He might, but a lot of those drives to the bucket he gets away with in college will end up back in his face in the NBA. He definitely needs a better shot.

From everything I'm reading from the pundits, it's a very weak draft class this year, so if you think you can get first-round money and contract length, go for it. Langford shows up in the first round of just about every mock draft I've seen. Doesn't mean he's ready for the NBA, or that he'll be a good player, but if your agent has a strong sense you're going to get drafted in the first round, go for it.
