So let’s put to bed the “he’s not ready talk.”
NBA drafts on potential. Any weaknesses he has can be improved on in the NBA.

Ouch, 28th is not good

It's not impossible to think he could climb into the lottery. It would take a great late season run or a dominant second season. If he doesn't get the former, he should be able to get the latter, especially if Waters goes to the NBA.

He might not be ready, the nba just drafts on potential. You said it yourself.

This board is basketball illiterate. This fricking state is. It’s been like that since the deaf dome days ended and people quit watching basketball. Now you have idiots who have watched two different times in their life. Now and when Simmons was here.

As of now, I dont see him having much impact in the NBA, but this is one of the weakest drafts in awhile. So a lot of fringe prospects might enter because of this.

Will he sit out the NCAA tourney?

He needs to go to the Rockets. Perfect fit for their system

Different sites have different projections. Sbnation didn’t have him in the 1st round at all

His offensive skillset reminds me of Al Horford. Al Horford is an all NBA-defensive team caliber defender though and Naz needs a lot of work at that end. But Naz has a lot of offensive tools that are rare to find in a guy his size. Soft touch on his shot (similar style of Horford), he’s shown glimpses of being able to make the occasional post move, which is enough given today’s NBA style of play, and he knows how to use his body to create room for a mid-range shot.
Now obviously he’s struggled at putting it together for full games but as people have hinted, the NBA drafts on skillsets and potential rather than college effectiveness.

Don't watch NBA.

I wish him well in whatever he does. But projections and readiness don't go hand in hand. You just made that point, yourself, by mentioning that the NBA drafts on potential. Most players bust, because they're all "measurables" and nothing else. The fact is, Naz isn't close to being NBA ready. Doesn't rebound, doesn't have good enough footwork, and lacks touch around the basket.
If he'll work on some things, he could be really good. Not sure he's willing to do that.

Half of the lottery are freshmen, meaning the other half are sophomores and a junior. Those guys likely weren't lottery picks as freshmen. They took one more year to improve their stock and it paid off. It could pay off for Naz, as well. Saying he enters the draft for sure because nbadraft.net has him at 28 is as silly as saying he needs another year.
I won't fault him for either decision.

Tyrus Thomas was a first round pick

Come back for another year? He would have to go to class for that.
