Seems about right. I don't think we can count on him being here for his senior year.
I don't think anyone was. I would be worried about next year if it wasn't for this very strong draft class.
Im a big JC fan, but can't see him ready for the NBA after one more year. His game is too limited and he is not strong enough. He needs time to work on 10-15 foot range jumper, on ball defense, and strength. I think will stay for all 4 years.
Plenty of first round picks aren't "ready for the NBA." I think he'll be a lottery pick next year based on college productivity and upside. He'd be a 20 year old pick in the 2018 draft.
RC107, I meant I didn't think anyone was counting on him staying four years.
I think that you're comparing him to current NBA players. He isn't an NBA player now, but he has the potential to be one after training full time with coaches and NBA teams; which is all they're looking for.
I think Taj Gibson is an okay comp. Right now JC's college numbers are better than Taj's junior year when was drafted 26th.
