So, assuming Vander and Otule come back
« Reply #2 on: March 30, 2013, 05:37:49 PM »
Think we have another run in us? Van was cool today but assuming he doesn't leave for the league, I think we may have something special next year.

I don't think there's even a small chance he leaves.

Not even close.  He stays.  He can play himself into top 15; now he's end of first round at best.  (Talkin out my @ss but that's how I see it)

Yes. Vander needs to be more well rounded and what better way to do that than with really good teammates around him making him better and getting him more open looks.

Meh.  How many teams is Vander going to be the focus of a defense in the NBA?  How many times is he going to play a 2-3 zone in the NBA?  How many times is he going to have 0 teammates who can make a 3 point shot, allowing for absolutely no open lanes to the hoop in the NBA?  Not many.

He'll be back to take us to the Final Four next year and to improve his draft prospects and move into the 1st round when he finds his 3 point stroke over the summer.  But this game didn't make or break that decision.

The way he played, he better stay. He didn't impress anybody with that last game.

There was a nice pregame interview with Vander. However, he talked about growing up with no money. He is gone, if he thinks he can get some money for his family.

He has great athleticism, is a very good defender and has loads of potential. A NBA team would take a chance on him for these reasons with all the success MU players have recently had as well as Avery Bradley who he has been compared to defensively. I don't think its as cut and dry as how he shot in the last game of the season. And who knows if his motives are to try and make some cash

I don't know at his size whether he would even be drafted if he decided to test the waters. He can only improve his status by staying.

He will declare and not hire an agent, which IMO is the smart thing to do.  If he finds a GM to draft him in the first round, he'll go, which he should.  But I think he needs one more year to be a NBA 1st rounder.

The last three games aren't forgotten. He'd get drafted, but likely second round. The question is what's better: second round this year or rolling the dice on a deep draft next year?

I hope he's back, but wouldn't begrudge him if he left.

Is this considering testing the waters? NCAA no longer allows this move.

No. And board will have quite the hey day when he announces his departure. Wouldn't have made it anywhere close this year without him, and I thank him for that. Awesome season, thank you!
