Earl Clark? top 20 or 2nd ound?

[Mik317]

I'm a bit shocked he declared, I hope he didn't/doesn't sign an agent. But he was kinda beastly in the tornement. Is he a skinny PF ala Bosh or is he a tweener ala Al Thorton( who I think is a beast)? I have him on my Sixers radar if Authur form Kansas doesn't fall to us but I think the Kid can be dare I say it great.....but he should go back.

I'm biased, but I think he should go back. He doesn't really have a post game or a handle, though his jumper has come along nicely this season. He rebounds his position well, and alters a lot of shots. He's a terrific athlete, but the NBA is rife with those, and without some more seasoning, he could find it hard to get minutes, particularly if he ends up going late in the first round to a good team.

I really like Earl Clark. He is along with Danny Green IMHO the most underrated player in the country. The sky is the absolute limit for this kid.

I do think he should go back, with Padgett and Character gone, I think he will have a bigger role in their offense. I wish UNC would have recruited this kid, seems like he has high character as well. Lets put the pieces together, High Character+Good Athleticism+Unrivaled Verstillity=Stud in NBA.

With another year he will be a top 10 pick IMHO.

It sounds like he's not going to hire an agent, is going to go through the camps etc. and see how he measures up.

Terrence Williams appears likely to do the same thing.

DraftExpress just took a look at Earl a few days ago.

Rumors abound that Earl Clark is reconsidering entering the draft, and is likely to return for his junior year.

[NBAMAN2006]

I think 20-30, with a possibility of 15-20 if the right team comes along.

looks like he's coming back to UL

Great decision. He won't get lost in the shuffle now.

Great decision. He won't get lost in the shuffle now.

Agreed. He has a lot to gain by returning to school.

Top 20 pick

[Canomad]

i think he needs one more year. if he does he will be nba ready and a stud when he comes out!

[UKF]

I would love for the Kings to draft him with one of their second round picks, but most likely he will be taken in top 20 or late in the first round.

He would probably be best off, just like most, going back to school.

It's pretty clear that some people only read the title of a thread.

I also think Clark has the potential to be a top lottery pick next year, and as a Louisville guy, I'm quite happy that he's coming back for one more year.
