We don't really know that. I think Nader, Niang and Morris all benefited from staying in college. Those guys might not be in the NBA right now if they had left early and not been drafted. Sure, they would have still gotten paid to play somewhere else, but not near the amount they are making now. I suppose some players just want to get into the G-league to make some money with the hopes of developing enough to get an NBA contract in another year or two instead of trying to develop in college while not getting paid. Wigginton might fall into this catergory. I don't think the G-league is a guarantee for him either, though.

A huge mistake by wiggy trying to go pro not ready for the next level needs another year of college then his chances are even better.
Nadolny is announcing at 11 (tweet was from last night). I think we all know the likely pick at this point.
@Andrew__Slater 6’3” PG Clarence Nadolny’19 @C_nad11 of @scotland_hoops
will announce his decision tomorrow at 12pm EST
Deciding among three finalists: West Virginia, Iowa State & Texas Tech

I think we were sitting really well with Nadolny until Tech made their huge NCAA Tournament run. Now what they can sell to him is huge, especially with their need at SG with Culver going pro and likely being a top ten pick.
Sucks losing him to Tech but can understand the kid picking them.
It always sucks a little worse when you lose a kid to someone you have to face twice a year. Oh well, not giving up on him just yet, but if we miss here, on to the next!
If/when Nadolny picks Tech they might not have a scholarship left for Admon Gilder
The timing of the announcement make you wonder if these are connected. I'm assuming they would of preferred Gilder to Nadolny.
Nadolny had plenty of time to finish his visit tour and announce at the end of last week. Slater, who's been keyed in on this recruitment, added the Tech crystal ball last Wednesday.

I hope I'm wrong, but it feels as if ISU is behind KSU and probably even UNLV for Grill. On the Wheeler front, Georgia has a ridiculous class coming in for 2019 (#9 overall so far). It would be a super easy sell for a young PG to come in and facilitate to those guys. Not to mention that he's a Texas kid that wouldn't have to leave the south. Wouldn't be shocked to see us miss out on all three and that's not a direct reflection on Prohm. Tough situation.
Bummer. I had my hopes up on this guy until the insider on Nadolny.
But for now, Let's go get ourselves a Wheeler.
