Huh I kind of wish he would. You're allowed more coach-on-player practice time if you declare

 

[Rocktheworld]

Not even gonna test them? Wow... you know he could show out at the combine and in scrimmages. He can't be unnoticed, I don't care whom else he's sharing the court.

But hey, I'll take it. A little stability is a nice feeling these days. Wonder what people have been telling him if he isn't even going to work out

So you are okay risking some knucklehead telling him he will get drafted and then declaring fully?

 

[superjohn]

First good news we've had in months and somehow a couple people find fault in it. This board is crazy town.

Yes I'd happily risk that

 

[GuardU]

I would assume this in effort to attract help for next year. Finally something positive and someone thinking TEAM first. Kid is true blue. Let's go!

Well, you only get to test them out twice, right? Maybe there's a chance he wants to keep a senior year open if next year isn't great.

Selfishly, I'm terrified he might think the grass is greener and bolt, so glad to not have the door even half open.

 

[HooperScooper]

Well April is starting off better than March. Good news finally.

Unreal.

Best news of the school year.

 

[husky99]

Finally good news

 

[WrenchFan69]

Then you are a doofus

Nobody has entered the draft without an agent and left. Jalen would not be a the first. Virtually no risk in exchange for NBA feedback and a lot more practice time

 

[Dogbreath2U]

I would like to hear his reason, not that he owes it to anyone. I wonder if he has made this announcement to try to help stabilize the current situation a little bit.

First of all, that is 100% incorrect, where did you even pull that absurd statement from?

Do you think he is going to spend his summer eating Doritos and sitting on the couch?

Eliminating risk is more important than anything.

 

[awfuldan]

Hell yeah. I love Jalen. He's the real deal.

"My teammates and I have unfinished business"

That's the exact attitude I want these dudes to have going into next year. Focused and angry and ready to go.

But seriously though, what teammates?

 

[JSM1970]

He's not even considered a top 100 prospect

This is good news though, he's not making the same stupid decisions D Ham and Daniels made

So you are okay risking some knucklehead telling him he will get drafted and then declaring fully?

Are you sure about that? I'm pretty certain there have been plenty of players who declared without an agent to test the waters and then decided to stay in the draft.

Name one

It is not accurate or close to it. May be an all time BY lie.

Ben Bentil declared without an agent last year and left. There are TONS of others who have.
