You should probably edit your list. Landers Nolley and Amar Sylla declared, AFAIK.

Nolley apparently changed his mind and isn’t declaring.

yea i don't know if it's too soon or not but I think we've pretty much exhausted the 20 class at this point, not much should change now until draft day i don't think

u can lock this tho if you think it's too soon

Ive been waiting to talk about this class like a little kid waiting for Christmas haha. I flat out love this class (especially if Kuminga joins it). I love the top end talent, I love the tier 2 and 3 talent and I think there is a good chance it ends up being a nice solid deep draft as well.

Not going to lie, this past year was probably my least active on this board because I just couldn't find any prospects I loved. This year very different.

Can we just rename the thread "2021 NBA Draft" to keep w/ the status quo?

Anyways, I really like what I'm seeing from Caleb Love's offense. He looks strong, too.

As far as I know, that's negotiated by the NBA. So it depends on the player. Don't think it's across the board.

ahhhh ok that makes sense then. Would think everyone would jump on that if it were across the board. 500k and the rights to my likeness all over the place? shiiiiidddd sign me up. I'll take a 2k G-League cameo real quick lol.
