Oof. Gut punch to those who are expecting better things out of our team next year

Not really. He's a junior, so there's no reason for him not to at least test the waters. Every single junior with even a remote chance to play in the NBA should do it (you're only allowed to declare w/o hiring an agent once).

He'll probably be valued as a late 2nd rounder/undrafted and come back for his senior season. I'm not worried yet.
