Big East Players in the draft

Here is an article about people leaving early and staying:  http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/draft2009/columns/story?columnist=ford_chad&page=InOut

A few players that affect MU:

1-  Harangody declares but no agent.  Cannot see him staying in

2- Flynn looks like he is in.  Makes things easier on Junior

3- Blair in

4-  Monroe returning.  Big surprise considering his spot in the draft projections and he never really looked like he was enjoying playing at G-town. 


Also, it does not seem like everyone is declaring quite yet which helps McNeal, Matthews, and James getting picked.

I'm not so sure.  If he's in the first round, even the 30th pick he should go for it.  Do you think he'll do something next year that will improve his draft position?  He's put up rediculous stats for two years, i don't think one more will do much for him.

There is no way Harangody gets drafted in the first round. Just not possible. Its almost like saying that if I could get drafted in the first round I should go. No crap.

On another note NBADraft.net has Jerel going 45 to Minnesota and Wesley going 50 to Utah.

I actually agree with Rawdog here.

[HoopsMalone]

Harangody has already shown his skill set to the scouts for sure.  One more year working on his jumper is not going to improve much for him.  I just don't see him having a good draft spot and he might risk being undrafted.  He has to have a good shot at some big records at Notre Dame if he came back. 

Regardless, it might be another rough year in South Bend on the hardwood even if he does come back.

If so, 4ever is going to owe me on the bet.

I was stunned to find out that people thought Monroe was a top 10 prospect.  Granted, I'm mostly basing this on the game in the BC, but during that game I never thought, "Wow, that guy is going to KILL it next year in the NBA."
