In any other generation the talk of him being a lottery pick would seem laughable.Archived Message

And yet he's still being predicted as a top 5-8 pick.
I don't follow the NBA much anymore so what the hell do I know? But there's nothing about his game that screams high draft pick to me. Not at the very moment it doesn't. He looked brilliant back in December. But since the turn of the calendar year, he's been so up and down it's nuts.
I wouldn't blame him one bit if he leaves due to a guaranteed draft pick and a resulting high contract to follow. But I will never abandon the option of convincing someone to return to school to work on their game. Especially in this era of NIL.
Really hope he figures things out before just ending the season in a big ball of flames, because that's how it's projecting.
