He has until the 27th to decide on if he’s entering the draft or not

His agent has to be pushing him to the NBA over uncertain landing spots in college. Even as an LSU fan I can't say what his role will be with only 2 signees so far. Not even sure if there is a good college offer. If he gets a 1st round guarantee I would encourage him to go. Otherwise, college is an option.

Yes, I’m sure Duke and LSU have no certain plan for Graves and couldn’t offer him what many would consider life changing money. Where do yall come from?!!

1st round NBA money is better, and the 2nd contract is even better.

NIL has changed the game, but take a look at NBA salaries.

I’m not saying NIL athletes make more than NBA draftees. My point is that he can raise his stock to a lotto pick while making a cool 4-5 million. Plenty to consider:

Drizz, got something to say;

Guard - empty
Guard - empty
Wing\big - Dioubate - captain - tmitch\draymond
Forward - santos - shoot\pass or bring in niang
Big - empty

6 - niang - run, then run and defend, low fg%
7 - empty
8 - empty

This team sucks, but, plenty of time left.

Not trying to be some insider or anything at all. Just bringing the info I have from some old friends. Really excited about the direction. Also Tiger fans will be adding another player to Group A later. If you thought Santos was good this guy is an all-euroleague caliber player already.

No worries. So they are trying to finalize a deal with a big out of the Euroleague. He is still under contract until next year. However he hasn’t entered his name in an NBA draft yet.

No its not. Graves is rumored to be offered 4 million for his services next year.

Edited to add not late first round money. Graves isn't a lottery pick.

Don't waste your time with these MFers. Some people just want to bitch. They think if Wade isn't keeping them apprised daily of his goings-on then he must be just sitting around lazily eating bon-bons.

Boot Up! Very pleased and happy with the direction the team is headed in year one. Could be a really special team when they all get together. Again not trying to be hyperbolic but if Wade and staff even half pull off these moves and they are semi-successful could be a game changing moment in college basketball, which is already in upheaval.
