Interesting to see Spencer Dinwiddie at the end of the first round. Not sure if he'll make it up to a lottery pick, but I think he can definitely improve from this. More surprised Jahii Carson from ASU isn't significantly higher.

ESPN: Report: Noah Vonleh to enter draft

 

"It's going to suck leaving college without an NCAA Tournament," Vonleh told CBSSports.com. "But I have to do what's best for me."

Too bad Indiana turned down the CBI, could've used that valuable postseason experience.

 

"I've heard the fourth pick to the 12th pick is wide open," Vonleh said. "[I think I'll be selected] anywhere in that range."

ESPN: Joel Embiid: No decision on NBA yet

 

"I would have played in the Sweet 16," he said after the loss. "Definitely. ... I could have played today."

 

Embiid was considered the frontrunner to be taken No. 1 overall in June's NBA draft prior to the back injury. According to multiple NBA executives, Embiid's draft stock will likely be determined by the medical evaluations on his back. However, it's unlikely he'd drop out of the top three picks -- unless the tests come back with alarming news.

‏@tsnmike Tyler Ennis is entering the NBA draft. Nice player. Don't get the hype, but nice player.

@GaryParrishCBS Only in basketball circles do folks ever suggest that a 19-year-old doing something guaranteed to make him a millionaire is “dumb.”

CBS Sports: UCLA's Zach LaVine going to the NBA

[Oriole85]

Add Kyle Anderson (ESPN)

 

Anderson's father told ESPN prior to the start of the season that his son would leave school after his sophomore year. He told ESPN following the Bruins' loss Thursday night to Florida in the Sweet 16 that Anderson will meet with the staff but that the plan hasn't changed.

I guess there's a chance he returns, but I doubt it.

[Oriole85]

I'm no scout but it's amazing to me how much potential is valued over production, LaVine started ONE game this entire season at UCLA. You can definitely see the POTENTIAL in watching him. And someone like this stock could definitely go down if he came back. All the more reason I'm in favor of atleast two years. But I'm not going to criticize someone who will likely be an instant millionaire, I'd probably make that same decision if given the chance.
