@JonRothstein LSU freshman Trendon Watford will declare for the 2020 NBA Draft while maintaining his eligibility, per his brother.

Averaged 13.6 PPG and 7.2 RPG in 19-20.

Was one of the best freshmen in the SEC last season.

I believe the rules have changed that you can hire an NCAA approved agent to retain your college eligibility. Would love to see Watford return. Above average college player but not ready to play in the NBA

He’s not ready. Needs to become more aggressive, on both sides of the ball.

His tweet did not sound like he would be returning. However many of our players had a similar note last year but ended up returning. Although that may have been due to the pressure for alleva to retain Wade

Maybe some of these kids just hate having to do homework because I dont understand why they are so eager to not get drafted.

He’s a great player, I really don’t think this is the right decision for him tho, but I don’t know his situation. Hope he returns.

I can’t see him getting drafted this year. Has a lot of improvement to be and nba player. I do think he can get there, but he was a liability at times, particularly on defense. Not enough of a scoring threat to overcome that and get minutes IMO

He's no Ben Simmons, that's for sure.

Not a surprise and he SHOULD take advantage of the rules that allow him to get feedback. If he’s not good enough to be drafted right now it is better to know that on the front end rather than being surprised in draft night

Naz Reid has way more pro potential and went undrafted. Trenton will be back.

I wonder if the melts are gonna be as bad this year as they were last year. Arguing with people about whether or not Skylar Mays was coming back because of the wording of a post written by some grad assistant lmao.

As I said on many occasions. I was hoping the lack of camps would help us . Still a very good chance he slips to second round

It amazes me how LSU has consistently bad luck with talented players not sticking around the program.

Seems like other programs have tons of good, experienced seniors.

Doesn’t play D. Should fit right in with NBA.
