Justin

[BM1090]

Aren't many NBA agents now NCAA certified?  Regardless he's with ROC Nation, which reps a lot of NBA guys.

Many are, but not all of the high profile agents bother with it. Maybe a better way to phrase that would have been there's a reason he stated that he was maintaining his eligibility.

I don't think it's a done deal he's back. Not even close. I just think those saying he's gone are incorrect. From what I've heard it's truly a toss up depending on the evaluation he receives.

Gotcha.

Until we see some actual movement, I am going to give this a big yawn. Altius is partnered with a boatload of schools. Nothing to set us apart, IMO.

Just wait a minute, it'll come

That's what he said.

There it is.

There it is.

I've been compared to worse things than the God of Thunder

That's better. Maybe this year's commencement speaker will get some of the spare change from his couch and announce something that day.

Did Justin get a Draft Combine invite?

[GoldenEagles03]

Did Justin get a Draft Combine invite?

Can't imagine why he wouldn't but haven't been any updates yet.

[Jockey]

Should know probably by tomorrow. There have been quite a few announcements in the last 2 days by players that they have been invited, so we should get the full list shortly.

The Atlantic now has Justin at 43rd. As recently as March 10th, they had him at 26th.
Nothing in the article to explain the drop.

Cartier decided to sign with CSU, good sign Justin is back

Ummm pretty irrelevent.

[warriorstrack]

Ummm pretty irrelevent.

What's your source?

[The Sultan]

I don't think Marquette had much interest in Cartier.  Outside of our initial contact, I haven't heard us mentioned with him for weeks.

[PGsHeroes32]

What's your source?

The fact that we have not been invovled with Cartier for a long long time. And it was never at any point a him or Justin thing.

CBS Sports has him 25th. I don't know about the thought he could play his way into the lottery with a big year next season considering NBA teams aren't big on players who have been in college more than two years.

This might not be the hard decision some think it is -- I have Lewis as a top-25 guy on the CBS Sports Big Board, making him a clear first-round talent -- but it's unclear if the NBA sees him the same way. And admittedly, I'm higher on him than most. Guilty.

But 6-7 wings who can shoot 35% from 3-point range, have long wingspans and can defend in space are always going to have roles in the NBA. That much we know. He'll be drafted. How high he'll go is probably the sticking point here. If he stays in college, we're looking at maybe an All-American talent in 2022-23 and a potential lottery guy next year. Doesn't feel like there's a wrong decision for him.
