Based on ESPN's latest mock where Huerter is #19 and Jontay is not in either round, I'm guessing Givony has inside info. This suggests that Huerter is remaining in the Draft and Jontay is returning to Mizzou. Just an educated guess.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Rumor is Azubuike and Jontay are withdrawing. Guess we’ll know soon.

Interesting name staying in the draft, Bryant Crawford from Wake Forrest. Didn’t have a good year, but teams liked him last year. He has good size (6’4 with 6’6 wingspan) and plays better with better players around him.

Jontay wanted to return all along. Just wanted feedback on his game.

Going to be much thinner with bigs in this draft than originally anticipated. Goes to show how the league is trending small and bigs need to be a lot more skilled to beat out wings in the draft.

Porter returning, Azubuike, Gafford, Haap, etc. There are the good bigs at the top and the older bigs on the back end of the 2nd round. Other than that there isn’t many that’ll be drafted. I’m talking true bigs, not 3/4 bigs.

If he wanted feedback then why not just talk to scouts? Why waste you're time going through drills and getting you bmp measured when you know it's not going to result in anything positive? Seems like most prospects who want to know where they stand play in the five on fives.

Scouts aren’t allowed to talk to players until they declare.
