What are your thoughts on Onyenso? He had foot issues (and is also young), but is still testing the draft, right?


He's not getting drafted. He needs another year. His game is improving. Our best defending big last year, which isn't saying a lot, but he will be one year older and stronger.

I would like to have him back, if that were an option.

He seems like a perfect example of why it's for that guys can go through the draft process and re-enter school. He's going to get very honest feedback from teams about what he needs to do to improve. That's a great resource for players, who often end up focusing on the wrong things. It's one of the few good rule changes over the last several years.

Only 60 dudes get drafted each year, but he is developing the skills they look for in modern NBA. Just takes one team to like hi at their pick.
It is a long shot for most players to get drafted, but if he gains strength in the offseason and plays lights out, I could see the possibility.

Nelson will make a really good living playing basketball somewhere for a decade. Probably Europe.
