If Williams and Bone both go pro then the program will be taking two or three steps back, unfortunately. It would make for a very, very long season next year - and one without the media attention or publicity needed to stay in the spotlight.
I think they'll struggle on the perimeter more than anything. If Bone leaves, after Turner and Bowden...who's going to be our main shooters?
Are we in on any grad transfers?"If" Grant comes back and we can add a grad transfer like Rayjon Tucker we will be even better than this year. Having Burns down low with Grant is way more intriguing to me than Grant and Alexander to me.
I think the key here is the transformation we saw from Bowden and Turner in both the SECT and the NCAAT. I think they're going to have huge years. I still have a lot of hope that one of Jalen Johnson and Yves Pons develops into a great player. Also to me it looked like Walker digressed rather than getting better. We need him to develop in the worst way.
Not sure.. the reason why Turner and Bowden were so good was cause they were able to get a little help.Turner, Bowden, James, and Johnson. These guys will stack up against anyone in the SEC (mainly Turner and Bowden). Who can match up on the inside? Not saying we are real deep as shooters, but relatively speaking I think we are stronger on the perimeter than the interior.
You must not watch much NBA. You have that backwards.Grant will make more money later in his life than he will in the NBA. I think he comes back, gets his masters and then gives NBA a shot. He's probably closer to 6-5 than he is 6-7 and even at 6-7 he's too small to be a power forward in todays NBA. Maybe 20 years ago, but not today. PFs are 6-10+ every night. Hell, Lebron is 6-8 and he's a 3! Durant is 6-10. If youre drafting a first rounder, he better be someone who can match up with those two.
Now that this season is over will Williams and Bone return? Do we have a pretty good shot at 20+ wins and NCAA tournament berth. Just asking for people’s opinion that’s all GBO.
I just don’t see Grant as a first rounder. I’ve been wrong before
I don’t think it is a slam dunk either way. I would like to know his true height. More than most players, that will be very important for his pro prospects. Even at 6-7, he is short for his position. If it is really more like 6-6 or less, his chances go down considerably.
If he or Bone are a virtual lock to be a first rounder, they have to go.
