If he goes that high he should take it

TLCougar

If they make the team, a 32nd pick makes about $2.5-million. He should be able

However, waiting a year may reduce draftability. He is already “old” for draft

He's not old, he's ancient for the NBA draft.

Parker Schnabel

I don't think teams care about that as much as before especially towards the end

It depends on what he's solving for.

The #32 pick two years ago signed a 4 year $8 million contract with $6 million up front. Today it is probably

Isn’t the fourth year a team option.

kotacoug

its not required, but pretty much everyone drafted early in the second round

cwilke1

Apr 1, 9:09am

That’s fair. I was thinking late second round.

inertiaman

Apr 1, 9:56am

Agree. And his stats most likely will go down this season if he stays as AJ wil

I see him going the route Hansen, Trumbo, Haws and others went.

Pains me to say it, but I agree. I'd hate to lose him early but it'd be best.

It really depends on his appetite for risk.

He will get a lot more than $1.5 million drafted at #32. Last year Filipowski signed a 4 year $12 million contract

kimdaddy35

Apr 1, 9:11am

I take it back. I didn't realize 2nd round contracts had become so favorable.

tacallaway

Apr 1, 9:19am

The team has to decide to sign you though. Do second round picks always get

kotacoug

Looking back at the last couple years, mid to high 2nd rounders

tacallaway

How much was guaranteed?

inertiaman

Apr 1, 9:58am

Answering my own Q: $6m guaranteed

inertiaman

Apr 1, 10:02am

Being “projected” at #32 is not a real draft projection. Very easy to slip into

ninja math

Apr 1, 9:13am

Yes he could be wrong and he could be drafted at #20.

kimdaddy35

Apr 1, 9:19am

I mean, KOC is famous for getting it wrong, but that’s beside the point.

ninja math

Apr 1, 9:47am

Good thing he can wait until after the draft to decide. It works that way,

cougaman

Apr 1, 9:54am

That seems really high though. More like mid-late second round.

Mitty

Apr 1, 10:10am

Sure, if he grades out well enough he absolutely should do it. I'm assuming, without further information, that

CalGTR

If his #1 dream is to play at BYU, play as long as you can. Everything else is

You can go pro in family or church?

TNT

Apr 1, 1:29pm

Pretty sure most on here would agree with that, so not sure it is that

Blue for Life

The question is whether or not his BYU legend status increases with another year

Roadrunner70

Nah. He will be better next year

Huck

What has he proving? Is he playing basketball to prove something? What does that

cougaman

Apr 1, 2:16pm

He won't be all Big 12 next year most likely...nor the best player on the team

Fdnman

Apr 1, 12:12pm

100% agree. I'm not sure how much more he elevates his draft status

vabeachcoug

Apr 1, 12:56pm

If he got drafted that high he'd be silly not to go.

No reason to post mistruths for no good reason.

BYU could conceivably lose Richie & Egor. Kanon was no surprise.
