Duke's Marques Bolden and Javin DeLaurier have declared for the NBA draft.
Kyle Guy staying in the NBA draft. Will be interesting to see how Bennett does with the returning talent.
Not really. Think Guy is motivated to follow fellow UVA recruiting class members Hunter and Jerome to a professional career rather than be the sole returnee to college from that class next year, but Hunter is an NBA lottery lock and Jerome is projected to be a late first round pick. At best, Guy will playing in the G League or in a lower international league rather than playing on a top 10 (maybe higher) NCAA team next year. Given that, Guy was expected to return.
Then again, Guy's stroke is pure, and if you can score from deep, an NBA future is not a total pipe dream.
Even so, UVA will out-perform expectation. Under Bennett, they always do.
Kyle Guy is what he is -- another year in college wouldn't do anything for his evaluation by NBA scouts other than increase his age by a year
if he wants to play basketball professionally, he's not going to help himself in college
plus, he's finishing his undergrad coursework this semester, so one less reason to stay
Yeah I was trying to think of guys in his mold and it’s a short list: Seth Curry or Bryn Forbes ceiling, maybe? Less athletic Brian Roberts? Who knows, though. Maybe he has something (vision, handles, etc.) that can get him some mop up duties at the point.
More names than draft slots. I'm a little surprised that Kerry Blackshear didn't get invited. That may be a clear sign he is headed back to college as a grad transfer (likely UK). Then again, he's already put in 4 years, including his medical redshirt. Maybe he's off to Europe. I'd rather see him there than in Lexington.
