And for those that keep saying Kessler should come back I would remind all of you of Chris Porter. Had a first round grade. Would have been taken between 13-20 of the first round had he come out. He decided to come back and work on his game to try to develop a jumper and dropped completely out of the draft. And how is Bruce going to develop Kessler. Wiley was Bruce's first real big man, Kessler his second.

I just don’t think he has the game for the NBA.

Wiley could have gone anywhere in the country and would still be in the same position he is now. He was a weird athlete. Glad we had him, won a lot of games, but wasn’t a threat to go pro. I kinda feel the same on Kessler but having one elite skill can sometimes work out. Not sure how the rim protection will translate. Some of the better players in our league went right at him with varying degrees of success

I made the comment about Noah Igbo that someone still has as their sig quote, that he was crazy to come out. Well, he got drafted in the 1st round but has, unsurprisingly, been a complete bust.

Same would go for Kessler. He may leave and someone might take him late 1st round but he can't play in the NBA right now.

I don't know if coming back to Auburn would help him develop an offensive game or not but he's not ready to go pro. His family also doesn't need the money, I wouldn't be shocked if he came back.
