He's a very talented player, and the NBA loves the potential. I say Yes if he helps LSU making to the Final Four. What ya think?

Without a doubt. Wade would have to pull a miracle to convince him to stay.

I will say, Naz really seems to love playing for LSU and his teammates. I can't remember the last time an LSU squad was close like this and it shows.

He's gone regardless where LSU finishes.

It’s all potential. He’s a manimal sometimes and sometimes he doesn’t play well. He’s 18. That’s going to happen. He has an NBA body no doubt

I was thinking about it on the drive home... if he stays with the 2 we have signed and who we are going after would we have sports for anyone? Walford and Lester do we have sports for them?

Pretty sure he could shut it down now and go in the first round. NBA coaches will drag the beast out of him. It's in there, we just don't see it enough.

Been determined before he set foot here. Even after a dismal performance like today. He was always leaving.

Today was a perfect example of him being mentally tough, he had a nightmare shooting day and still fought for every ball . He’s tough and he’s a good teammate.

I am clearly in the minority, but Naz is not ready for the NBA (and it's not just today's performance). I would be surprised if he goes anywhere close to as high as predicted (assuming he comes out). He is big 6'10" power forward that plays like he's 6'4". He does have an NBA body, but Until he learns to use it he'll never meet expectations.

Yes. He has no post up game, but he doesn’t need to. He can be a more athletic version of Niko Mirotic as a stretch 4

The thing is, he is projected around the mid-30’s in most mock drafts and big boards as of now, so it’s not like he’s a sure-fire lottery pick. He might go pro but I would argue it’s a bad decision. There was an article that came out about Naz today that goes into his draft stock for anyone that’s interested.

The LSU fan in me says he isn't ready to make the same mistake a couple of LSU forwards made a few years back.

But the allure of $$$ will be strong..

I think he declares and does the combine, but he could still come back if word from the scouts is he isn’t a 1st rd guy

He needs to stay, but I think he takes the chance if he's predicted to go in the first.

We’ve certainly got one sport for them, but are they even good at other sports?

ESPN has him projected as #46


And composite of the major mock drafts has him at 37 (Solidly into the second round.)
