I'm pretty surprised Fernando was projected as a one-and-done. I remember when Manning first offered him and no one knew who he was. I watched some videos and thought he had good raw, athletic potential but he was nowhere near a top-25 type player. I'm not sure when he became a projected one-and-done but that's a lot of hype.
That was at least his own thinking and some of his team mates. He and another player entered the NBA evaluation process. He thought he would be told he would be drafted and the other guy sent back to school. Reality flip-flopped those outcomes. Link to article in Washington Post.
