Definitely a guy who could go 2nd round.

Question is, what feedback will he get from teams and if the feedback says his range is mid 2nd round pick to undrafted, will he return to wake forest to try and raise his stock and possibly go 1st round in 2024..

Yeah. mccullar maintaining college eligibility. the post by McCullar I saw and some of the reports I've seen indicate there's a good chance he'll return to kansas.

He probably knows that the main piece of feedback he got from NBA teams last year was to improve his outside shooting. But his 3 pt % actually dropped this season compared to last season.

So I think there's a good chance he returns to kansas, gets more NIL money, and tries 1 more time to improve his draft stock for 2024.

sounds like Flip's gonna return to Duke but tbh don't know if I see the upside there for him, I think he has a higher chance of hurting his stock than helping it, but maybe that's secondary for him

No doubt a risky move. But my guess would be Flip is hoping a combo of more consistent production and shooting plus what should be a weaker draft he may get a little bump.

yea but like bump to where? from 16 to 12? just don't see the upside here but again he probably loves the Duke life and wants to just run it back another year

Oh agree 100%, I still think there is a limit to his ceiling with how high he can go. But ya I think most likely its a combo of having a great connection with Jon (which is pretty well known), loving the Duke life, making good money in NIL and knowing its a weak draft next year so as long as he doesnt tank next year, he should still be a 1st round pick.

I've seen Flip mocked anywhere from 18-38, but mostly in the 23-33 range.

Maybe he's thinking that this year he might go like 30th (and the team picking 30th would probably be a really good team, like a contender where he'll just ride the bench - or he could go back to Duke and if he can have a national POY type season, get that 3 pt % higher, along with a weaker draft class, he could go in the 10-15 range - not only a higher draft slot, but probably get picked by a team in the lottery or a weaker playoff team, so he'd get more playing time.
