First, it needs to be noted that this is an extremely weak draft. I've heard NBA reporters say it's the worst one in the last 40 years, maybe ever. So teams are going to take more risks trying to find value.
That being said, imo, yes. I think Sears can be a top 40 pick for a team that needs a cheap backup PG who can give them some scoring pop off the bench.
Nelson though is perfect for the modern NBA. He's a 6'11 wing. He isn't a true center. He may even be a lottery pick in a draft this weak.
We need to be fine with losing them. Our only hope is paying them enough to rival a rookie deal for their projected slot.

quote:
Oats on Grant Nelson's future: "I'm sure his draft stock as risen in the tournament, particularly with how he played against Carolina. That game, followed up by this one, I guess we're going to have to sit down and evaluate how much it has risen. "I'd love to have him back, but I've always said you do what's right by the person."
This is why I think both Nelson and Sears end up leaving. Their stock is both up big time right now. Combine that with a weak draft and I mean if they want a shot at the NBA, this might be their chance. Sears especially. There’s nothing more he can prove. Nelson does need more work on his outside shot and could probably benefit from coming back, but at the end of the day I think he ends leaving.

I am not sure a second round pick gets much of a deal in the NBA. I dont follow the NBA much but it seems a number of the lottery picks come from Europe. Does Bama have NIL money for BB and what kind of dollars would it be. I assume we want to keep Griff and Wrightsell as well. Losing a few of our big men who cant shot the rock would not be a huge concern. Keeping 15 would be Yuge but he had no presence in the Uconn game.
