OT - 2012-13 CDNs in the NCAA (Apr 6 games added)

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.

birch should stay the whole four years. on the other hand, powell might benefit from declaring early (again, weak draft). although maybe his stock will go up if he works on his body some more.
