I disagree, he's very young; even with money it's a long haul and bouncing around if he jumps to the NBA just yet -

Let him grow and perfect his skills and have a bit more of the college experience. I think he'll be with us -

I believe there is almost no chance Demin returns. Consider:

You don't want him to return. Otherwise, 1-and-dones won't come here.

Genghis Spreads

Hes a lottery pick, him choosing to stay would tell other players just how

We say that every time someone enters the draft with eligibility left.

Genghis Spreads

Mar 28, 10:46am

He needs to put on 15lbs and fine tune his 3pt shooting, also an x-factor named

Das_Countach

That’s just not true.

ColonelSaunders

Mar 28, 10:44am

Well that isn’t true. His decision to stay or go has little to no bearing on

RalphWiggam

Mar 28, 10:44am

I don’t believe this idea at all. You want guys getting drafted as lotteries. If

kotacoug

He came here and couldn't become a lottery pick when he was originally projected

Genghis Spreads

Mar 28, 10:48am

I think you are over-thinking this. If he is a lottery pick next year, nobody

Real knows real…. Players know why other players do things. They aren’t stupid

kotacoug

Mar 28, 10:54am

Yeah, they might think we're forcing them to stay against their will.

If he is in the bottom range of the draft he could get 2 mill from NIL. He could

Is there any chance Richie sneaks into the first round or is

Lifer

Mar 28, 10:44am

NO....I love Richie, but he is a G-league player.

Adrielle

Would probably go to Europe before hanging out in the G-league

Lifer

Mar 28, 10:49am

There is abolutely a chance he returns....

Adrielle

Mar 28, 10:45am

For me, being risk adverse, if I were him I'd go. You are healthy. Get drafted

Squirt

I don't totally agree with your last point.

JuicyJam

I think he will go to NBA. Would hope he would stay if I could figure out a way to justify it as best for him. I can't.

roseyscenario

I've always said that Demin was gone as long as he was a lottery pick

tacallaway

Mar 28, 10:56am

Right. But that's if it's only about money.

WaybackCougar

It's about his long term future in the NBA. Be done with school, go work 100% of your time on the game.

roseyscenario

Mar 28, 11:17am

I have no idea what anyone would do with 10 mil.

Live off that sweet, sweet interest income for the rest of their life

BYU Superfan

I believe the exact opposite. There's almost no chance he doesn't return.

Do we really care if Demin leaves? Nope. His game is too soft for college play.

SoggyBB

Mar 28, 1:41pm

Demin would be smart to stay and have experience at BYU. He'll be better for it

Plantagenet

Mar 28, 1:45pm

Given how young he is you may be correct

puntersarepeople

Mar 28, 2:00pm

If you are looking at the value of just next year, then sure...but

DesertBlues

Mar 28, 2:00pm

He's not going 17-20, he's projected in more of the 10-14 range

tacallaway

Mar 28, 2:52pm

Before the tourney he had dropped to the 17-21 range.

kotacoug

Mar 28, 3:02pm

Depends on which mock you subscribed to, ESPN always had him late lottery

tacallaway

Mar 28, 3:05pm

NBA.com had him at 20 before the tourney.

kotacoug

Mar 28, 3:07pm

The other thing people are factoring in is when AJ Dybantsa comes in he is going

HonestTakes

Mar 28, 2:40pm

No one is saying he should stick around if he’s projected 1-14ish. It’s anything

kotacoug

Mar 28, 3:03pm

I think there is a 40% chance he returns. I personally think it would be the best thing for him, but what do I know?

KYU

Mar 28, 3:33pm

ESPN had him projected at #9 in their last updated draft

puntersarepeople

Mar 28, 3:53pm

Are you going to tell the rest of the story with that?
