I hope Elias Harris doesn't go out, he is going to be a stud for Gonzaga imo.

Lets not forget that you will see hundreds of names in the draft, only because it's a free process for many players. The real information comes when they decide to hire agents.

Any Junior or talented Sophomore/Freshman would be stupid to not use their mulligan year and get evaluated by NBA scouts. This list means very little until the deadline to pull out in May.

They interviewed Turner during the McD's dunk contest tonight. He said he still had some things to think about, and he would make a decision in the next couple of weeks.

I think he is gone. . . unless Prahalis really does wear the pants.

From the CBS link...

James Anderson Oklahoma, Junior
Cole Aldrich Kansas, Junior
Craig Brackins Iowa State,Junior
Derrick Caracter UTEP, Junior
Charles Garcia Seattle, Junior
Paul George Fresno State, Sophomore
Manny Harris Michigan, Junior
Dominique Jones South Florida, Junior
Sylvan Landesberg Virginia,Sophomore
Tommy Mason-Griffin Oklahoma ,Freshman
Herb Pope Seton Hall,Sophomore
Jeff Robinson Seton Hall,Sophomore
Hassan Whiteside Marshall ,Freshman
Jahmar Young New Mexico State,Junior

Also:
Jimmer Fredette BYU, Junior(according to reports from his brother)

From Jonathon Givony's twitter(writes for draftexpress.com)
Scotty Hopson-Tennessee Sophomore (Pearl said he was sending in paperwork).
Ed Davis-UNC Sophomore(Just needs to decide on an agent, 100% gone).

Seth Davis says Xavier Henry is goner than gone. Wesley Johnson is gone. Assumes Udoh will make the jump. Also says the only question about Turner is how he spends his money next year.

I am going to guess and say 4 of the UK players leave.

Derrick Caracter.

He's going to be a great pick up for someone IMO, someone is going to win the lottery without winning the lottery with this kid.

I believe I read where he never registered for second semester classes..thus the goner than gone.
I am sure Kansas knowitall sportslady could verify this. ;)

Have to wonder what some of these kids are thinking. What the hell has Tommy Mason-Griffin done to be an NBA PG??

Because the NBA draft, moreso than the NFL, is more about potential than "what have done up to this point".

You also have to keep in mind that this is a process that many take advantage of, only to return to school.

It really doesn't mean anything until they hire an agent.

Please read threads before posting on them...your question has been answered.

And Tommy Mason-Griffin averaged 14 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds a game in the Big 12...as a freshman. I'd say that's a decent start.

Still bitter I see.

The only question in my post was asking why Griffin would even think he has a chance to get projected in this years draft. I didn't see an answer to that anywhere prior to my post. He had a descent year, but nothing that would make anyone take notice outside of the Big 12. I've seen him play, he's not yet near ready for the NBA.

Mason-Griffin has left the OU team, so he definitely won't be testing the waters and returning. He also isn't expected to be drafted. Doesn't seem like the sharpest guy around either.

Lol you still don't get it.

No one is saying these kids are ready for the NBA, they get a chance to get their name out there and be evaluated by the best in the business. Why wouldn't you do that? Putting your name in the NBA draft doesn't mean you have to come out, until the deadline.

And I'm not sure how I'm bitter?
