Call your Shot on Agbaji & Wilson returning

Where’s Wilson? Looks like Texas.

@Bosthawk said in Call your Shot on Agbaji & Wilson returning:
Looks like Ochai doing ok at the combine, but not enough to improve his draft projected position. I’m betting big that he’ll be back. At best right now he would be a G leaguer. Better for him to play on national TV at KU and work hard to improve his game.
Meanwhile, I can’t wait to get me a Gradey Dick Jersey next year I mean how often can you get a legit jersey with “dick” on the back… Hope his number is like 13 and not 3 ️
Just put a decimal point between the 1 and the 3
-
I think Agbaji stays in the draft , and Wilson & Martin are here
-
Agbaji is the only question mark. ESPN has him going 59th, but that was right before the Combine scrimmages where Agbaji didn’t really impress much. If he had assurances of a two way deal with someone, that would drastically increase the odds of Agbaji staying in the draft.
If Agbaji does return, I think KU would be the front runners for a national championship and Self could play Agbaji at the 4 spot like he did in 2019-20. That would mean KU’s entire rotation is made up of players in at least their third season and that kind of experience would be priceless.
-
I don’t care either way on Agbaji. At the combine, he is what he has always been. A guy who looks the part but just isn’t.
-
I don’t care any more. I don’t like pro basketball.

Och - 3:1 odds he leaves
Wilson: 9:1 leaves
After Wilson had an absolute trash fire combine, he’s coming back fo sho. Still like my 3:1 odds on Och.
-
I hope he comes back and takes what he’s learned and helps us win a championship. Therefore helping him out the next year, which is also what the combine is for. He will also have his degree, or be close which I’m sure his parents will be happy about since that was important to them!
-
We will be finding out shortly on all 3. - -Can’t believe it has been so quiet on Remy. - I think the longer Och doesn’t say , just feels like the better chance of him staying in. - Just means it’s a tough decision and Money speaks loud - -very loud - -whether it’s NBA or making some money over Sea’s
-
The most interesting thing I learned today about the combine was that Garza tested the worst of all attendees in both the standing vert jump and the sprint. Expected to go low 2nd round if at all.

Not too surprising. In the past he probably would have been a 4 year guy.

Garza will be a situational match up player in the NBA. He’ll have a lot of DNP’s and spend time in the G-League to get in game reps, but he can score in the paint and can knock down a 3 if left unguarded. He’s also a 70% FT shooter so he’s not a liability there either.
He’ll never be a star or even a full time starter, but Garza definitely has a place in the NBA, just not as prominent as he would’ve had 20 years ago. I honestly think Garza will end up having a better NBA career than Doke will.

@Texas-Hawk-10 did the g-league scrimmage?
-
ESPN updated their Draft big board again. Ochai outside the Top 60 now after the combine.
-

The G-League does their combine before the NBA Combine and there’s usually a few guys that get NBA Combine invites from the G-League one. Kofi Cockburn from Illinois was one of the bigger names at the G-League Combine.

Not surprising considering how he scrimmaged. I still think his decision will be tied to whether or not he has assurances of signing a two-way deal after the draft.

From what I saw posted somewhere else, he didn’t have such deal in place last week

I wouldn’t have expected anything to happen prior to the combine. Post combine tends to be when a lot of that stuff happens, especially with somebody like Ochai who could’ve performed his way into the back end of the draft. We’ll know either way in about a week what Ochai’s decision is.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 how did Wilson do? Did I miss it?
-
Wilson played in the G-League Combine but wasn’t one of the invites to the main combine. Should be back to KU
-
Just relaying the intel that was being given during the combine.
-
@BeddieKU23 yes, just wondered how his combine went. Guessing nothing great.
-
He didn’t really do much to improve his stock
-
I will still take Agbaji’s language in his letter to the fans as it sounded. Coming back would be a reversal of that language. Not going to presume to know what his decision is based on. Hope.

I just don’t see it - -don’t see him coming back. whether it’s NBA or Overseas I just got this feel he is gone

Both stay 99%. Feel very strongly about this from what I’ve heard.

Never a doubt.

In my opinion our most important player next season. Great news
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Seemed notable that Self never aggressively pursued a transfer at the 4 spot.
-
Well that’s Sweet - - -ONE down and 2 to go. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@approxinfinity agree. He would not be able to improve his NBA chances by returning. In fact, his minutes are all but guaranteed to decrease. And then what would he do? Probably force things, hurting both himself and the team.
-
I think this is a tough choice for Agbaji. It’s a “damn if you do, damn if you don’t” and he will probably face some criticism from those who unfairly look for opportunities to bash him.
Ultimately, I think the sign for him would be if a team or teams give him a positive response now so he thinks he will be given a real shot if he’s not selected.
I think if he has the right representation it may be to his advantage to not be selected at the end of the second round.
He is getting some floor time which should give him an idea of what the competition will be like moving forward. He should sense if he feels like he can compete and flourish in the near future.
I tend to agree with Marco and think he may not benefit much from returning. What he needs is personal coaching to lift his game to a higher level. He’s already at a high fitness level.
-
I admire Ochai as a college basketball player. I doubt I’ll ever admire him as a professional in the NBA. I hope he takes the Frank the Tank Kaminsky approach and realizes another year on a great college campus is way way better than a year on the bench in the NBA. I sincerely hope he’s great in the NBA, or at least has a long career. But I really don’t care that much how well our guys do in the pros. I want wins in Lawrence, not former Jayhawk stats in the league. May be a bit selfish of me, but, well it’s just sports, it’s what I want. I want 40 of them next season, no more, no less.

OCHAI BACK!!! LETS GET IT

LETS GOOOOOO

Seen /read from a couple of other posters where they had seen that Martin will probably announce today also. - Keeping fingers crossed
-
I say that Agbaji and Wilson both return

Well. I appreciate Agbaji not dragging us around through the process. To me, he was gone until he wasn’t, and that checks in as a welcome suprise. Thanks Och.
-
now we have to set our sights on the one remaining. We need to weigh in on Remy coming. - I say he will be here , we will know soon

Some would say very soon.

@jayballer67 if he is gone, we go hard after Carr with solid minutes to offer. It would be shocking if Remy didnt come.

ya I think let’s think about this - - - - # 1 - - he is not projected in the draft - - - - # 2 - -he didn’t get invited the the NBA Combine OR the G League elite camp , so you would think it would be a no brainer - -but you just never know
