The Final Four Most Outstanding Player had strong Combine, has performed well in team workouts.
This is noteworthy considering Michigan will face Villanova in the Gavitt Classic next season. Nova will lose a lot in Brunson, Bridges, Speilman and DiVincenzo. Charles Matthews have tomorrow to decide to stay or come back to Michigan.
somehow, someway
I hope the Celtcis draft Donte late in Rd 1. I hope they dont take Charles Matthews. I will never understand a basketball player giving up school to be a late 2nd Rd pick.
How many of those guys are successful? And dont say IT, his weakness was his height not ability.
or did he just send tape of his last game and a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯?
He project as a bouncy athlete who can shoot. The only issue is what position is he in the next level? SG or PG. He doesn't have experience running the team as a PG. He has huge upside.
Even a little bit.
Wagner stayed, Burke, McGary, GR3, and Hardaway all stayed another year than they absolutely had to. Plenty of guys have stayed, some have left. On the football side tons of potential late round draft picks have come back for another year, most of 2015's dline, willie henry, taylor lewan, etc.
People only remember the perceived negatives. We don't win shit for a variety of reasons but every elite football and basketball team wins games with freshman and sophmores at key positions.
I was with you until "We don't win shit for a variety of reasons." A lot of banners in Crisler say otherwise.
until we win shit for a variety of reasons
Incredibly short.
He's not likely to be drafted, but some sites have him ranked in the top 20-25 prospects for next year.
Choice seems obvious, but maybe he's hearing actual information instead of just internetz.
is getting feedback from NBA teams he worked out with and other NBA scouts as well. None of the prospects are relying on the internets to make their decision.
This is how DJ Wilson declared and stayed for the draft. There were ton of fans who blasted DJ for declaring when they said he was projected to get drafted at 2nd round or undrafted and yet, DJ got drafted at 1st round.
Wilson was defintely project in the late first round by this point in the draft process. I distinctly remember Brian saying he should declare because of it. On the other hand, Matthews has Darius Morris written all over him.
