Shit, who would have thought we would lose 3 to the draft this year?

Mathurin was a sure thing. Koloko was 50/50. This one is surprising.

Pelle Larsson season

He'll absolutely get more shots. We need Kriisa and Tubelis to be much more consistent on offense. Also need Bal to come up big defensively.

losing DT and missing on Miller is going to be a tough 1-2 punch over the next 36 hours…brutal. not many available studs in the portal too

It really really hurts. Easily the biggest "what if he came back" in memory (not counting guys who obviously should leave / were leaving).

Depressing news….miss the days of 3-4 year players.

[AzCatFan2]

Best of luck, DT. I know we've been mentioned with a couple of wing transfers. One from Washington State, one from Kentucky, and one more I can't remember. Probably waiting in DT's decision. Probably get one now.

Totally agree. It hurts if I focus on myself. If I focus on that young man's spirit I find it remarkably uplifting. For those of us stuck on the left side of the equation irony and sarcasm help. And we're used to that, aren't we.

This sucks for him and us. I really think this is a mistake for him. I don't see him getting drafted in the 1st round and don't think he's ready for the NBA.

[ChooChooCat]

I think he’s getting picked late 1st, which probably translates into a vast majority of time spent in the G League next year. If he spent just one more year at Arizona he’s likely a lotto pick or close to it and more likely to spend the year in Indianapolis or Detroit instead of Ft. Wayne or Who Gives a Shit, USA.

Choo any insight on the decision? Seems like he was going to have to get a promise from someone to stay in the draft so im assuming that happened? Hard to believe he would go nba route knowing what another year could do for his stock... did this catch the coaching staff by surprise?

I just realized Dalen's decision kills my bet with Choo on whether Dalen would become a lottery pick in 2023.

He'll likely spend at least one year between the big club and the G League. Most teams work that nowadays to give people a taste while using the G League to further development if he's not fully ready for a rotation spot.

Choo's post might be the most positive thing I've seen about Indy or Detroit in a minute, too.

[EastCoastCat]

Best of luck DT. Appreciate all you have done for us. He truly did represent the program well if you think about the shit storm after the CSM dismissal.

Now time to move forward and reload.

WTF?

DT doesn't owe you shit. He doesn't owe shit to anyone besides himself and his family. WTF does NIL have to do with him doing well at the combine?

[Spaceman Spiff]

So far, the NIL isn’t keeping any AZ guys in school longer.

NIL isn't going to keep any borderline 1st around longer. If you're a borderline 1st, you're getting 3 or 4 years with 2 years guaranteed and an average of 2 million to slightly over 2 million a year. Plus, you can leverage NIL on top of that base salary.

To the extent money matters, NIL is an accurate acronym.

Rather be in Detroit or Indy than any podunk bullshit town that houses a G League team. Hope Dalen doesn’t have to spend more than a year in the G. God forbid he actually stayed one more year in Tucson.

I was born in Tucson and will likely spend a minimum of 40 years here if I don't die young, but we're a G League caliber town if I've ever seen one.

[Longhorned]

Regardless, none of this matters because NBA basketball is awesome and available all over the place. All any of you need to do is stop watching men's college basketball and deliver it from its slow, painful death.

Leave it to the college coaches who get paid to deal with the reality of recruiting amazing NBA-level talent with tiny fingers and 5' 4" wingspans, debilitating rashes, or whatever other congenital conditions that prevent them from leaving a program before they realize their potential. This isn't your problem to deal with.

And no, none of today's college players will get to soak up the amazing college experience of a Sean Elliott, or even a Salim Stoudamire. Then again, there will never again be the glory of sitting in a movie theater and watching Neil Diamond playing a misunderstood singer who just needs his chance to belt out tunes in a tight, shiny shirt that displays a wide triangle of his chest hair.

You're old. Move on. It's not like you won't get to watch amazing basketball played by the best players in the world in a league they actually want to play in.l

And everything you ever loved about college basketball is still a part of the women's game, minus the speed, size, and air time.

You shouldn't talk about Tucson so negatively. Prescott might have nicer climate, downtown and infrastructure, but Tucson also has a lot to offer.

After the '21 tourney, Juzang was borderline 1st round. Decided to come back to school. Smith this year at NC State is another example. Love at UNC is another example. Strawther at Gonzaga is another example.

Spiff, we can sit here and debate who is or isn't borderline 1st round, but there are plenty of guys who are close enough to this threshold to warrant inclusion on this list. The bottom line is that we've had worse luck than other schools in this area.

I wish DT nothing but success with his decision. He's a good kid and will thrive as a pro.

Post-tourney Juzang was a borderline 1st. Then he went to the Combine and blew booty.

He shot 5-21, 1-8 from three, had only 2 assists to 4 turnovers and got toasted on D regularly. He was not close to a first rounder by the time he actually decided to return.

No disrespect, but I don't think it's debatable why he returned. He returned because he had probably the worst combine showing of any potential 1st.

[Beachcat97]

No disrespect, but I don't think it's debatable why he returned. He returned because he had probably the worst combine showing of any potential 1st.

He was also intrigued by his earning potential via the NIL, at least according to the LA Times.

Look, maybe Juzang is a poor example because he has nowhere near the pro potential as Terry, but still, the NIL was expected to make staying in college more appealing than in the past, since student-athletes no longer have to wait to leverage their name, image and likeness to secure lucrative endorsements. DT has already gotten endorsement deals (non-alcoholic beer, his own apparel line), and I expected his NIL earning potential at AZ next year to be a factor in his decision. I don't think it was.

Find me the post where I said DT (or any AZ player) "owes" us something.

It's possible to walk (discuss DT's decision) and chew gum (discuss the NIL's impact on the sport) at the same time.

"I feel like I'm ready," Terry told reporters after working out for the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. "I'd rather be in the NBA and go through my struggles and trials and tribulations than be in college and be the star.

"A lot of guys wouldn't say that, but I'm young kid and I want to get adjusted to the game. And obviously I've been playing basketball my life to be an NBA player. I didn't play basketball since I was two to be a college player"
