Does anyone find the number of lottery guys in the NBA draft that may return to school promising? So far we have (supposedly) Jared Sullinger, Perry Jones, possibly Harrison Barnes, Brandon Knight, and Terrence Jones.

What do yall think about this? I can't decide if it's good for the game or bad.

Well I mean think about it. There's a chance that Knight and Jones may return, so they'd be pairing up with four more five star recruits. On top of that you'll still have guys like Doron Lamb, Darius Miller, DeAndre Liggins, etc. You'll have teams stacked like that, and that means no upsets and maybe just blowout after blowout. It could really take away some of the fun of the tournament. It'd be like the NBA, a few teams are stacked and nobody else has a chance.

It may make this classer weaker, but think about it...the next class, or even the next, will definitely be stronger...

this class would be even worse and the next few would be stacked. its worse for the players game but better for the nba and the college game.


though it would suck for more of the lottery players to stay and the pistons. we need a good pick, lol.

I'd rather have better quality teams and games in the end of the tournament than no great teams and an upset filled tournament (like this year).

It helps the NBA and the NCAA. The NBA isn't getting players in their league that aren't ready for the game, and the NCAA is getting more overall talent because of it. It's a win-win.

If Brandon and Terrence come back don't bother playing this season. Unless two of their big 3 recruits bust, they've locked up the championship if BK and Jones go back

Good for college bad for the NBA. The draft will be pretty weak, but college ball next season is gonna be sweet.

Why is it bad for the NBA though? It means that you aren't going to see many rookies who aren't ready for the league. Helps the NBA.

I guess thats true. Most of these guys aren't NBA ready anyways, but the draft will be weaker without them.

If BK and TJ stay... I'd have a hard time thinking of anyone that's better then them. Maybe UNC if Barnes stays. Maybe Baylor, and Duke could compete but im not even sure on them.

Lil Teague
Brandon Knight
Mike Gilchrist
Terrence Jones
Anthony Davis

Thats a killer lineup man.

Yeah but people said Duke and MSU was a lock title game this year. Anything can happen in CBB, and in sports period.

Neither of those teams are as stacked as Kentucky would be, that's 5 top 10 recruits on one team
