Brockington and the NBA Draft

[cyputz]

If you don't get drafted and don't hire an agent, you can come back right?

He definitely should test the waters

Brings up a question: If you do not hire an agent, how are you approached for workouts, etc,. Does it hinder your pro possibilities, by not having an agent. Can coach Otz, be his middleman??

I interpreted “light” as “poor man’s,” and I don’t think that’s the case. No throat jumping intended, I just think it’s a bad comp with such wildly different body types. Reasonable people can certainly disagree.

This also makes me realize how little NBA I have watched since work travel went away. Marcus Smart with less wingspan and better offense? I didn’t think IZB stood much chance of making a roster, but if the recent 3-point explosion is the real deal, he may find a spot.

Marcus Smart is not a bad comp at all.

Fwiw, I brought up Bridges more so for his playing style than body type. The guy plays great defense and has made a living in the NBA as a knock down corner 3 shooter. He also has a decent midrange game. It's not a perfect comparison because he isn't left handed and has a 7'1" wingspan like you said, but he was the first player that came to mind

So all our seniors have an extra year if they want it, correct? What about the others? Any thoughts

Zay - 50/50 according to the article
George - No idea
Jazz - No idea
Gabe - No idea

Anybody have any thoughts on these guys? For reference here is the scholly chart

Note: Players who are eligible for the COVID-19 year are removed from the chart unless Iowa State has previously noted how many years they’re expected to be with the program.

My question about who could be returning is this: won't we know in less than a week? Seems as though whoever goes through senior night probably isn't coming back.

I’m curious if we know what IZB’s wingspan is?

Just guessing I would say 6'9"

Didn't Orien Vance and Xavier Hutchinson participate on senior day?

I think JerkBo went through it a few times.... Not a binding thing but could be a fair indication.

I think his inability to go right will be a pretty big issue for NBA teams..

It was an issue for Connor McCaffery...

Ashley Joens says she is going thru senior night but had not made a decision yet for next year. So, in line with what have others stated, maybe don't read too much into it
