True, but with Noel out, Bennett (and possibly Olynyk) will most likely move up in the draft.

Kabongo v. Ejim tonight.

Kabongo showing tonight that he was not too rusty after coming back. Really showed that he is super efficient in the lane but outside the arc is still lacking that type of range. Still reminds me or rondo

teh wheels have come off UNLV. birch has been mediocre at best all year and bennetts season has really slowed down once the ystarted conference play

too early to tell after 2 games but if kabongo has a bad season, do you think he'll still declare?

i think he kinda has to because it doesn't look like anybody significant is going to texas next year (unless they get randle)

if he plays for texas for the entire season next year and they are crap like this again his stock will drop even lower. this year the draft is so weak that he may be able to squeeze into into the first round.

The Olynyk Clinic with 26/9. The guy is so skilled for a big man, it's crazy.

i asked Doug Smith this question in his chat, but he admitted that he has no idea which way Kabongo is leaning.

if i were him, i'd take my chances and declare this season. completely agree with you on Texas struggling next season if they don't get any top recruits.

it's also a deeper draft next season, and by not declaring this year, Kabongo could risk injury like Noel this season. if Kabongo declares and performs competently in workouts, he's probably an early-20s pick, which is likely where he'd be at if he had played a full season anyway.

I think Kabongo has to come out this season. It is a weak draft, so someone will take a shot at him since his game is more suited to the NBA. His FT shooting improved and he can get to the line very well, although its only two games.
