Does this seem low? Is this lower than either was hoping to be? Maybe one comes back?

Seems somewhat low for Naz and somewhat high for Waters actually.

Naz is a borderline first round pick. Waters isn’t getting drafted.

That’s actually pretty high for Tremont than others are projecting. That seems very fair for Tremont, and pretty fair for Naz. I’m sure Naz is pretty mad considering he was a projected lottery pick before the season started. If Wade coaches I’d peg Waters at like 40/60 coming back and Reid 20/80 coming back. If Wade is gone they both 100% are gone.

Naz should come back

Tremont will be designated to g league or Europe for a couple years due to his size—he’s proven all he needs to for pro scouts.

There really is no reason for either to leave

If it is from ESPN writers, I would say they are slightly biased and that isn't accurate. It is low in my opinion. But I believe Naz would be a late first round pick and Tremont a early to mid 3rd round.

Both could use an extra year, but I think they are both ready to go.


..... ESPN Sucks.

Seems about right for Naz in my opinion. Physically his potential is off the charts. But his overall game is not impressive at all.

Tremont is gone. Naz NEEDS to come back but NBA teams are gonna love his size and ability. They're gonna want to get their hands on him as soon as possible to work with him and develop his game.

I was hoping there was gonna be a plea and this whole mess goes away so Alleva and Alexander were relieved of their duties allowing Wade to come back to hit the recruiting trail to replace those 2.

Doesnt look like that's going to happen so were not gonna be as good as we should be thanks to those two cockroaches

Naz is a very good player but he does not seem to play very big in the low post. he could very well get drafted and get some solid coaching and improve but coming back another year wouldn't hurt him at all.

Ive been seeing Naz as a mid to late second thats why i think he may come back and should bc he was a projected lotto pick before the season started so hed lose a crap ton of money leaving this year. And i think Tremont will return bc i dont think he gets drafted. Besided Espn I hadnt seen him even rated in the top 75 prospects according to many other sites.

Well Tremont is not on anyone's draft board at the moment because of his size.

Hes going to go undrafted, unless a team falls in love with him at the very end of the second round.

When can they get a draft eval and when is the deadline to declare?

I do think Naz will go in the first. But I don't see Tremont even being drafted, which at that point you have to ask why even go to the NBA?

Would be absolutely shocked to see Naz go first. His defense and just overall effort and basketball IQ need to be focused on for him. He has the Potential but based on this year Id be very surprised to see him go higher than like 40. And Yea Tremont should just finish school and get his degree and after 4 years of consistent production and working on his discipline on defense he probably could be drafted as a senior late in the second. While going down as one of the Lsu greats

Because the reason Tremont is low is due to things he can't change. He's never going to be taller or bigger. He can still make a couple hundred grand a year playing in Europe, so it's not a situation like football where if you go un-drafted and fail to make a practice squad that you're SOL making any money playing your sport professionally.

Naz has a lot more to gain by coming back. If he is drafted at the tail end of the 2nd round, there's no guarantee he makes an active NBA roster and his signing bonus decreases dramatically. If he works on his game, which he needs to do, he certainly has room to play his way into a lottery pick next year.

But if I'm being honest, I foresee both leaving. I guess we'll see.

My source told me Tremont has already told the coaches he is leaving. Take it for what its worth.

You just proved yourself wrong. If he needed to come back, NBA teams wouldn't care so much about getting their hands on him. What more important to a kid who wants to play in the NBA -- another year in college or a year playing in the NBA season??
