No, we got a nice group that seems focused on college and not their NBA stock.

Who?

The only reports have been that his combine numbers were average. NBAdraft has his going 60th to the Grizz. Chad Ford has him as the 65th best prospect (he has fallen with each update since he declared).

His stock would have only fallen further by returning.

Wasn't he injured a year ago? Did he go to the combine, test the waters and hear, "Maybe next year, Adonis"?

No, he didn't leave too early - he just didn't make the most of his abilities in college and, hence, won't be a high draft pick.

It doesn't matter when he left. This is why the NBA has their rule. To protect them from drafting kids like this right out of high school.

Prob so.

We just have to hope for his sake that he has a lot more offensive ability than he showed last year.

I don't see it yet.

Yep they do it a lot. It's why basically the same teams are in the lottery every year while teams like the Spurs continually draft well.

Adonis isn't in CDR's stratosphere. CDR just went to a bad franchise and got blackballed. Actually 2 bad franchises

Can you imagine if he played with DJ's intensity with his body?

absolutely true
but you know, he woulda been rich and whatnot...
at least they wouldn't have had the extra year to actually ASSESS him skills. had they drafted on potential, adonis would be a millionaire.
