He's not hiring an agent, so he can still come back to school next year. I'll be curious to see how this goes for him.

Okay
Late lottery pick?
Like really, really late.
Lmao. I think that may be the one that gets the NBA to reconsider this new process of having guys declare.
Pre-April Fools?

Lol.
He could still go pro though, right? Just curious - maybe that's an option? Play in Lithuania or Siberia or something.
Wish him well.
Good luck, young man.

I think pretty much everybody knows how this will go for him.......

Yeah, he's going to get free notes from dozens of NBA scouts, for free, and then go back to school.
Sounds like a great, grounded decision.

Why would he waste his time with NBA scouts? Scoopers have already told him everything he needs to know...
Good choice. Wouldn't mind nor would I be surprised to see some of our players (Howard & Anim come to mind) do the same.
BTW. How is Ellenson doing as a pro? Have not heard anything about him.

A few minutes here, a few minutes there. Couple of easy rebounds, and a bunch of DNPs.

Do scouts really waste their time on kids like HC? There has to be hundreds of kids closer to the NBA then HC...if it's a great decision why wouldn't all kids do it.

Making millions more than he would be wearing a Marquette uniform.
Good luck!!

I was wondering the same thing. Do scouts spend time with anyone who declares for the draft? If they do, why don't more guys declare without an agent?
Haanif was on a mock NBA draft in the late second round for a period time before the season started. So he goes gets evaluated and comes back a better kid for it. He will play overseas for money someday.

I imagine there are travel / hotel and other expenses that come out of pocket?
I think it goes like this:
For starters, work on your right hand kid. When you can go right as well as you go left, come back and see us. Until then? Uh, I don't think so.

I'd be very surprise if that happen. I don't see them ready to test the waters and think they have more upside to their skills.
Does he tell the scouts he needs to play for the magic or heat so he can be close to home?

Maybe he just doesn't need to go to school and spend his free time getting back home instead of sitting in a classroom or tutor room.

How many do you think do it?

No clue...but if everyone of HC's caliber of play did it...it would certainly max capacity. Damn near every MU player should be going along with 60% of his peers...
