The reality is he's 6'11", can clearly shoot, has a year of high level college ball under his belt, and has a basketball pedigree to boot. Not to mention a sky high ceiling given his age. There's a solid chance a team takes him this year. We need to be prepared for that.

I think he's probably gone. Kinda surprised he didn't enter the portal too in case the feedback he gets is surprisingly bad. I just have a hard time believing that Stevenson entering the draft less than 24 hour after Nelson announcing he is coming back is a mere coincidence. He was probably content to stick around and try to play his way into the lottery, but now doesn't think he will get the minutes to do that and will roll the dice on being taken in the 25-35 range.

I don’t see it like that at all. The NBA announced the list today but he probably entered his name in at the same time as Sears. He just didn’t make an announcement for it.

Cmon, you can’t be this dumb. The draft deadline was Saturday, this is just the NBA releasing the official list. Stevenson was in Miami with Sears training last week, Alabama already knew he was entering and likely returning.

My understanding is he entered the draft with no announcement. This may have been done a while back. It just came out today because the list was released. It may have nothing to do with Nelson. This is the story on BOL.
