Not the best decision, but good luck.

Maybe playing in Europe is an attractive option to him

Tennessee junior Jarnell Stokes to announce he's entering NBA Draft

He's expected to be drafted late in the first round

No way in hell IMO, and I hope he's not going because someone told him that.

 

[Stoked]

Great....

 

[VolArmy74]

Good luck to him, in the long run the more guys we can get in the NBA the better. 5 stars like to go places where they see other 5 stars make the league. Hope he sticks, I can't imagine his stock will ever be higher after the tournament he just had.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Good luck Jarnell!!

He'll be a solid pro

its possible if he shows out in the pre draft camps and individual workouts

Is that not happened w Scotty? Kids surround themselves w questionable advice

No

 

[Tennakey]

Good luck Mr. Stokes

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Same exact thing. Said he was told he would be a sure first rounder lol

 

[cncchris33]

Bad decision IMO, but only based on the depth of this draft. Another year wasn't going to transform him athletically, but a shallower draft would have benefitted him.

 

[cwbytruckers]

With a lot of double teams. And poor team performance. Maybe he thinks his stock will drop.

 

[Velo Vol]

Another year wasn't going to transform him athletically

Correct. It's not like he's going to grow another five inches if he stays.

 

[golfballs]

I just hate to see another Scotty. Its embarrassing. I hope a GM doesn't say that Stokes lives on another planet thinking he's better than he really is.

I honestly think he would be a late first-2nd round pick no matter the year. He'll have a career in the nba, but there's always a slew of guys that are supposed to be great players that would bump him down next year too.

He seems more down to earth. Lol

If you play the odds, next year poses a better opportunity. Maybe he does question his potential and thinks this season is by far the best he can perform and that he's likely to drop next.

I would hope so. Will be interesting to hear what he has to say.

 

[omghulkhands]

IMO Stokes is taken early to mid second round and will make the team no matter where he lands
