Hayes appears to be what Gafford currently is. Gafford is more experience. Hayes is much rawer and has, that always so great, more upside. Hayes is a way better free throw shooter and since he's so raw there be more potential their offensively with NBA development.
That's just my two cents which in the grand scheme of things means absolutely nothing.

MLive.comNo, an undrafted player can’t return to college basketball
It's a nice, logical idea: A college basketball player who still has eligibility enters the NBA draft, goes undrafted, and returns to school.
It's just not reality.
Last August, the NCAA announced several new rules regarding the draft, including giving college players the opportunity to sign with NCAA-certified agents without losing eligibility.
But the new piece of policy that's caused some confusion in the college basketball community is this:Code: Select all
"College basketball players who request an Undergraduate Advisory Committee evaluation, participate in the NBA combine and aren't drafted can return to school as long as they notify their athletics director of their intent by 5 p.m. the Monday after the draft."
The draft is Thursday, June 20. The NCAA has stated that a player, to retain eligibility, must withdraw his name by midnight on May 29.
An NCAA spokesperson confirmed that a player must withdraw his name from the draft on May 29 and therefore could not wait for the result of the actual draft. The post-draft rule change is not yet effective.

Good lookin out Jamal I couldn’t find the time. 3:30 eastern is lovely!
7. Grizzlies 7.5%
8. Mavs 6.0%
9. Pelicans 4.5%
I’m rooting for this order right here. I realize 7th is better for us but the odds still freak me out even tho it’s 7.5% vs 6.0%.
Second choice is :
7. Mavs
8. Grizz
9. Pelicans

Actually that's not how it works. I think all three will have the basically the same odds of moving up in the lottery (top 4). Coin flip just determines what order they go if they don't move up.
