Cummings
Corhen
Kante

That’s all I got. Family loyalty for Cummings regardless of coach.

Twins should transfer. JDG may not be ACC defense but he deserves more than a bench when shooting 60 percent from 3.

Lowe to NBA
Austin/ish/dunn out of eligibility
Amsal/barnes, other big transfer
 
Lowe won't be NBA next year. Possibly portal to get some money.

We'll be extremely thin next year with little experience, players transferring, and few quality incoming freshmen who can start. We'll have to rely on the portal again to get some experienced talent.

Lowe and Corhen will either both stay or both leave, probably for the same place since they are close

Lowe isnt going to declare. Too much money to leave on the table when he could wind up in the G-league. He can get 7 figures in the SEC and that's where I think he goes.

Too early to know, of course, but next year could be a considerable step back for us given the graduating players and possible loss of Lowe.

No way Lowe is going to the NBA. I think the twins will be back as well
 
Step back? We’ve made 1 tourney is 7 years

So we’re going to go from bubble to non competitive? Whatever… the frustrating part is being so close…. But so far away.

And feeling robbed last year. Tough to say, but could a NCAAT and say sweet 16 given us a bump with portal guys and donors this season? You bet. And that opportunity was taken from us by Lunardi and ESPN
 
Right, no way is Lowe nba material,
Its blue and gold glasses thst cause. They said the same thing about x (given lowe is a bit better). Lowe is no 1st rounder. Maybe a 2 way guy. There are guards just like him all over country.

Did any mocks have XJ getting drafted? The difference is there are legit mocks for Lowe:



And there are some without him. It’s more Pitt fans think less highly of him and dont watch the NBA. I think he at least declares. He would be smart to do so and get his evaluation. Then it’s up to him to portal, have Pitt pony up to match, or stay in draft.

Lowe would get drafted. But I dont think 1st Round is guaranteed like it was for Bub. His true shooting percentage will scare teams. You really shouldnt declare unless you are a sure 1st Rounder because the money you cam make in college basketball is FAR FAR more than G-league money.

I posted on the pay board I think only Kante and Cummings are back next season. We're basically gonna have to rebuild and start over in year 8 of Jeff Capel smh. It's pathetic. I don't think Corhen comes back either.

I see this season ending up a failure and a massive disappointment, the twins both want out along with Lowe and Corhen and Delalic. So it's Papa and Cummings and lots of portal kids. Utterly depressing.

.... dont.be naive i was refferring to when x was here. It was a HUGE fear he would declare and leave all over this board, not now of course. If you were around then you will remember that.
Lowe will be a nice 2 way contract guy not a first rounder. Bub has the build lowe does not.

He was never mocked consistently as high as Lowe. Not the same.

At this point, Lowe is the worst guard on a middle of the pack team in a piss poor conference. Please change NBA to YMCA.

There are Pitt fans that just last year said that Bub Carrington would be an idiot to declare for the draft, because he would never get picked in the first round and he might not get drafted at all.

Some of those same people thought that the idea of Stephen Adams being a lottery pick was completely absurd and thought that he should come back to Pitt to try to improve his draft stock.

Part of it is because lots of Pitt fans don't really pay any attention to the NBA. And part of it is because fans tend to get too high on their players when things are going well, and too low on them when things aren't. It's too hard for them to maintain objectivity.

Its a different world now. College money is exponentially more than G-league money. Bub was a guaranteed 1st Rounder. Adams was a 7'0 freshman who probably didnt like playing basketball for $0. Lowe is guaranteed 7 figures next year to play college basketball somewhere. That's too much to leave on the table for the chance of making an NBA team. He isnt having a good statistical season so going in the 1st Round seems far-fetched right now though he can turn things around. A lot of guys in his position take the guaranteed college money. In a worst-case scenario, some of these guys end up making $40,500 in the G-league instead of 500K, $1 million, $2 million in college basketball. You better be ABSOLUTELY sure you are going in the 1st Round. The college money is too good.

Lowe would probably fit right in an be a key component to a 15 win type of organization like the Wizards.

Hey, don't forget Omari Witherspoon! But yeah, that would be a disaster. Isn't the NIL/portal era awesome?

This is almost every team. I dont disagree with what you are saying. I do think we only return a few guys even if we end up having a good season but that's every team. WVU and Lou combined to return 0 players and both are NCAAT locks. And in WVU's case, they have maybe the lowest player payrolls in the P4.

Sometimes its a good thing to have a complete roster turnover.

If Lowe could figure out that the NBA is going to grade Jaland based on his overall efficiency numbers, not how many points he averages, he would really have a chance to make things better. Hero ball has hurt this team badly. He just needs to get himself under control, get all the guys involved, and let the game come to him instead of forcing it. The talent is there to be a 1st rounder, but the body and the head are just not there yet. Capel needs to get through to him fast or wherever he plays next year will surely not be here.
