What year will Stokes enter the draft, iyo?

Haven't done a poll in Bball Forum in a while. I think about this a lot when looking at next year's team. With so much talent returning and Cuonzo's apparent ability to develop the players to get the most out of their ability, the easy answer is 2013. But, we've all seen things happen to players over the last few years, who at some point were surefire lottery picks, and ended up being nowhere near that.

I went with 2014. Maybe that's just wishful thinking.

after his junior year at the earliest, ill put money on it ! don't be shocked if he stays all 4 years. his family is not desperate for money, he is mature beyond his age and will remain in college as long as he feels he is still learning and perfecting his game.

If a player can go in the first round, there is no reason for him to stay in college to "learn". A player with that level of potential will be better served learning how to play the NBA game, in the NBA.

The numerous All-Americans that have returned to UNC, Duke, Kansas and others who would have been not only 1st round picks, but often times top 5 or top 10 picks dispel your theory.

I think 2013. No real basis for it, I just think he'll go then. If not, then definitely 2014.

They are playing against inferior competition and a completely different game than the NBA. You also have your Christian Laettners, Eric Montrosses, etc. Nothing prepares you better for the NBA than the NBA.

Tyler Hansbrough, Adam Morrison, and J.J. Reddick all being, at best, the 5th or 6th options on their team (or not even playing) all disagree with your logic. And they were all better players in college than most top 5 draft picks are. College is just a different game.

I want to believe not until his senior year and can help bring in some Memphis products. In reality I think it will be his Jr year but you never know. On the projected 2013 NBA draft he isn't on any of the boards that ive seen
