The thought seems to be that Watford is leaning a bit more towards leaving.

When did this come about? Is that the talk on 247 boards? I mean, Jordy - whom everyone swears has all the inside LSU basketball knowledge - sounds confident he is likely coming back.

He may not, as I think most have been in the boat that he was a 50/50 chance from the beginning anyway. But with how the NBA draft process has played out, I just don't get his rationale for leaving now when he could come back, develop more, and likely be a 1st rounder next year.

The only logical reason to see him staying in the draft, which Smart would have this same reason as well, is that he is worried there won't be a basketball season this year, which would then amount to a loss of a year and potential income b/c he wouldn't be able to show any development anyway and improve his stock for the 2021 draft.
