Probably had something to do with it. He wasn’t near as explosive his senior year.

Would’ve been wise to go after the Title or maybe his junior year.

Having too much tape or exposure really seems to hurt your draft stock, unless you’re an otherworldly talent.

I’ll always remember Sherron being a fringe first round pick after his sophomore and junior years, then going undrafted. A lot of Damon Stoudamire comps.

If you can be a first round pick (especially lottery), just go. The chance might not be there the next year.

The Blake Griffin’s who really elevate their stock (when they would’ve been first rounders anyway) are pretty rare.

What's honestly frustrating about Furphy leaving, probably for the reasons you said, is that basically every other fringe guy returned to school for NIL I guess. You would have thought a weak draft would hurt most teams with fringe NBA guys but instead everyone returned and it will be a deep year for the top 10.

I'm a very casual NBA fan.

But, I sure wish there were more Jayhawks in the league to root for.

Obviously Embiid being the cream of the crop, and Gradey potentially balling out his sophomore year in the league.

Everyone else is just meh.

Here's hoping Furphy continues to develop and can be a solid role player in the league.

Especially if you are blocked from receiving NIL cash which is just so dumb

If I was scraping change together to get a 5 piece nugget and two jr bacon cheesburgers at the Wendy's drive-thru on 6th and Iowa in 1997 and someone came up to my car and knocked on the window and said if you leave college right now I'll pay you 12 million dollars I'd still go through the drive thru and get my food. But then drive away

just saying Wendy's dollar menu for poor college kids is top tier

Sounds like someone is not watching Nuggets games and seeing the glory that is Braun

Definitely said casual in my original post.

Plus, I'm 39, you think my ass is up late to watch Nuggets games. :-)

Should have watched him. When Anthony Edwards was demolishing the rest of the NBA, Braun threw the best defense anyone had seen on him.
