SportandoBasket Emiliano Carchia Andre Drummond,projected as a lottery pick in 2012,said he will return to UConn for his sophomore year.Via Adam Zagoria sportando.net/eng/usa/ncaa/3…
I remember when Greg Monroe said the same thing, three months later he was drafted with the 7th pick... lol :grin:
The draft is still strong without or without Andre Drummond. He wasn't even suppose to be in this draft remember? He was suppose to be apart of next years class.
tristan thompson and cory joesph said the same thing last year. i dont think he'll turn down the opportunity to be a lottery pick
Of course he's going to say that now. Most potential draftees say the right thing about coming back to school. If he has the chance to go in the top 3 then there is NO WAY he passes that up. Guys like Harrison Barnes, and Perry Jones made a wise decision this year by not going in the draft, but that was only because of the lockout, and there would have been a large risk of missing your rookie season.
Whether Drummond enters the draft is basically irrelevant to the Rockets... even if we wind up in the lottery, we won't be high enough in the lottery to draft him.
Would have been nice for him to be there to push another guy down. But him not being in may encourage another prospect to stay in or declare early.
