Either Obekpa or GG would have to start. ptherwise dont have a true center.
A previously very reliable NBA source at the Gtown game told me that the odds of Moe leaving after this year are very high. Not etched in stone but the guy is passing every test and the league loves potential so space isn't likely going to be a problem. Too many minutes are a dangerous thing statwise. Ask Omar Cook.

disagree to start the year at least. if gathers and sampson are all they are touted to be I could see it by the end of december but I can't see GG, a senior, getting bumped right away for a freshman when he is putting decent numbers up this year. I think Branch will start from the moment he is eligible (IHMO)
It's hard to pass up NBA money but Moe would benefit so much from another year of development. I guess you can work on your game while coming off the bench for an NBA team but I hope he looks at guys like Lance Stevenson or even worst, Omar Cook, who left early and struggled or didn't make it at all.

We'd love to have you JaKarr, make it happen.
With respect to Moe's NBA prospects, I'm sure that he could get drafted if he left after this season, but there is no guarantee that he'd get a 1st round selection. And if you are a freshmen, there is no reason to jump to the NBA if you are not assured a 1st round position. No guaranteed money.

Evan Daniels seems convinced JaKarr's not coming to SJ's next year. Not sure what he bases it on, but that was his guesstimate. T. Robinson's (KU) a Jr, but will probably go NBA next year. I still say Smith "pushes" JS that way. I hope not, but we'll see.
I don't know who you spoke to bobre, but this would be a horrible year for Mo to come out with guys like 6'10 Perry Jones, 6'10 John Henson, 6'8 Harrison Barnes, 6'9 Terrence Jones, 6'8 Thomas Robinson, 6'7 Kidd-Gilchrest leaving early and seniors like Buford, Kris Joseph, Drammond Green, Kevin Jones, and Herb Pope.
Harkless is shooting 68% from the line and 24% from three. He is also playing PF and C and has not proven he can guard wings. I think we see Mo for 3-4 years before he is a first rounder.

He forgets to mention us.

:silly:Your observation is right on. Moe would definitely be a 1st round pick if he came out this year. The question is how high in the 1st round. Another year of school where he could get stronger and could do some more work on his game would probably get him into the top 5. It is just a question of what him and his family want to do.
I think I disagree with you a lot more than agree but I think you are dead on with this one. Would he get drafted, yes; first round, very possible; ready for the pros, less than Omar Cook was IMO. First, agree with your assessment of his perimeter D, but he has also not shown the ability to handle well enough to play on the wing in the NBA where you have to be able to create your own shot something he has not shown at all. No knock on the kid, he is a legitimate talent, but the NBA, nowhere near ready. Obviously that doesn't mean he won't go and if he was somehow assured of first round money who could blame him? But from what I've seen I can't believe he is anywhere near that secure.
