Makes sense. If he wants to increase his NBA stock, he may as well come back knowing he'll have the ball in his hands a majority of the time. Plus, he probably wasn't drafted if he came out early anyway.

It was even a question? Anyone confirm Vick is too?

But I guess if he was thinking about it, better he returns and KU doesn't add a Duval or Waters. I wonder how much his 3P rate will drop. I think it was mid-60s this year.

Rather have him stay than get Duval

Exactly. Duke is the favorite all along but Duval is considering playing times as a major criteria for his choice. Rumors that if Graham did come back that would hurt KU's case.

He wasn't going to be a first round pick from what draft express was showing. Makes sense for him to come back.

Does anyone think he will be a first round pick next year? In my opinion he doesn't look close to an NBA player.

He looks like a first rounder one game and then gets lost and looks undraftable the next. That's why he's coming back.

Probably good for him. I can't see someone with as punchable face as he has lasting long in the NBA.

I too am coming back for my senior year. Graham and I both had about the same chances of playing in the league next year.
Wayne Selden went undrafted last year and is now starting in the playoffs for Memphis. Graham can play in the NBA. IF you go look at the list of backup PGs in the NBA, there are some pretty sad names out there.
