Nobody knows all we can do is pray Waters returns

Waters will not be back in Baton Rouge next season. After last season it was made clear he wants to play on the next level. That may be the G league or even overseas. But he wants to try and his dad wants a pay check. There is nothing he can accomplish by coming back to LSU another season. He won't grow any taller and his skills are good enough to be considered for the NBA. People refer to his lack of height as a disability, but there's been several players shorter than him that have carved out a career in the NBA. Mugsy, Avery, Nate and Spud all had good careers in the NBA. Playing another season in college won't change perceptions about his lack of height which means all he can do is go and show what he can do in the league. Personally I wish he would come back, I just don't see it happening. Naz could use another year to develop his inside game, but he will get drafted strictly on potential and his skill level for a player his size.
