Is Brandon Huntley Hatfield one and done?

[rocky200663]

Just wondering because I believe he re-classified so don't know if that would mean he has to stay 2 years or if he can go ahead and declare after this season?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I think he’s a 2 year player.

Physically he’s there but still needs more maturing.

He doesn't have to stay two years, I don't believe, but I anticipate he won't have the draft stock to go after this season. I could certainly be wrong, but I see Chandler as the only 1 and done player on this roster. The season could change that, though.

He likely needs the physical growth of 2 years as well. He's young

 

[cncchris33]

He can leave after this year. Will he? That remains to be seen.

 

[creekerballer]

I think he could get drafted after this year, another year would improve his draft stock though.

 

[wmcovol]

If he settles in, I think he's gone after this year.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Should he go and will he go are two different questions. There is a very good chance he sees himself as a one-year player no matter what, and he might leave even if it’s not warranted. We’ll see how things shake out.

NIL can change the narrative for kids on the cusp of declaring early or staying in school.
Go Vols!

 

[golfballs]

If I had to guess, I’d say yes. He looked pretty good to me last night in his very first game and there’s a ton of opportunity for playing time in our front court. I expect he’ll improve defensively through the year and be a top prospect given his age and experience.

NBA Mock Draft - NBADraft.net It's just a mock but this site has BHH, KC, and Powell going in the first round.

 

[orangemadam]

Surprised to see Powell going before Chandler in that draft mock.

 

[tennrich1]

I think BHH will be an exceptional prospect but he’ll need to work on his aggressiveness and learn how to use his clearly physical advantage. Other words …that kid has a NBA-ready physique now IMO.

It's hard to imagine that making a difference if you're a legitimate professional prospect.

So, he should be a Sr in high school now if he didn't re-classify, correct??

 

[Fatman Photos]

I think I would give him more that one game before I try to figure that out. Who knows how he will play throughout the season.

Yes,, but he was held back a year, too. So, his age is right on, for most freshmen in their first year of college right out of high school

 

[Lefteye]

It’s what’s in his mind. Imo
His frame and potential could warrant a mid to late 1st round pick

 

[vol94]

Agree. Just hopeful college student athletes still love their sport along w the passion to succeed. That is a lost art for many professional athletes.

 

[LucidZ]

He could potentially, but I think he has a bit more to prove on the court than the likes of someone like Chandler. I mean if he really shows out as the season goes on, he could be. I think maybe he'll be here another year.

 

[malibuvol]

Ok, good deal, thanks,

 

[i2amavol]

I tend to think he will be drafted high after this year. He has the physical tools, and he seems to do a lot of the little things necessary to succeed. I know a lot has been said about a bit of lackadaisical attitude, but I think that may be overstated.

He's not the sure thing that Chandler is, but I think we have just seen the tip of the iceberg with him.

He just turned 18 in August, so not really. That would be really young for his grade. Cutoff is usually in July for a grade. Doesn't matter, he'll be draft eligible regardless I believe.

 

[Volfan1000]

Too early to tell at this point.

 

[VolArmy74]

I've seen BHH in the 20s on draft boards. If he can handle the ball and has a decent looking 3 point shot he can be a first rounder.
