Not sure what happens with doke but man if him and dedric are gone that leaves them pretty lightfooted in the post.  Their guard play with Dotson and Grimes and Agbaji will be salty AF tho.

Well played! @Spracne

i keep reading that KU people think there is a good chance De Sousa might play next year.
they are also considered the leader for top 10 overall player and #1 forward matthew hurt

Also the sanctions coming from adidas. They’re toast.

Some people are unreasonably optimistic KU will win an appeal. I myself would be surprised if he doesn't leave in the next 2 months.

[pissclams]

he has visa restrictions to consider I think

Remember that unless the player hires an agent, they can now come back after the draft.

[420seriouscat69]

Yeah, it will be interesting to see what happens with him.

[MakeItRain]

He doesn't have NBA size, range, or athleticism. Hell of a college player though.

[wetwillie]

That was a fantastic bill self impression

Only if undrafted I believe

“nba size” doesn’t exist anymore, he’s a tall lanky athletic baller.  he has a future in the league

We'll see how his workouts go, I guess. I can't find dude in any mocks. The only recently updated scouting report says this:
"There are three concerns NBA teams have with Lawson. One, he is undersized to play the 4 or 5 in today’s NBA. Secondly, he is not a good enough jump shooter to space the floor. Lastly, he will be 22 when the next NBA season begins. A perfect comparison for Lawson is Paul Millsap. In Millsap’s final year at Louisiana Tech, he averaged 19.6 points and 13.3 rebounds per game on a 57.8/62.3/0 split. As you can see, Millsap made it to the NBA without any three point shot at all. Lawson does not have that luxury. Lawson is listed at 6’9” 230, while Millsap was listed at 6’8” 245. For Lawson to catch on with an NBA team, he will not only need to be an average three point shooter, but he will have to competently guard opposing power forwards and be an above average rebounder."

Couple that with what oscar Pearl said:

"Oh, I love Dedric," Pearl told reporters. "He's a pro. He's got an old-school game, scores inside and out. He's got to work a little bit defensively, get a little stronger, move a little bit better, but he's got a great future. I'm happy for him."

It looks right now that getting drafted is far from a sure thing. If he comes back he's going to be the conference POY.

Yeah, that's like 80% of the league these days. It's like a bunch of clones out there.

His knocks are size, strength, and age as far as I can tell.  Two of those things won't improve with another year.  He could improve strength but I'm sure NBA teams would rather have him in their programs to do that.  I think he is a pretty safe bet to get drafted and at least some of your mocks haven't updated to include him yet.

Reminds me more of TJ Warren than Millsap.

They are so good at eating their own.

They are so good at eating their own.

I love how, at the same time, they can claim that a player is horrible, but that he should still come back for another year.

Bill has taught them to do this well. Like some sort of cultish mind control.  A dark day for
