2021 NBA Draft

I don’t see Franz Wagner on either the NBA or G League combine lists. Did he withdraw from the draft or are my eyes just bad?
He's opted out of it. Same with cade cunningham and suggs

My understanding of the combine is it’s more for the guys hoping to move up, not the lottery guys. That may or may not be completely accurate.

Kofi not the only higher profile prospect on G League combine list: McClung, Marcus Garrett, Dickinson, Marcus Carr, Liddell…

Was Dee projected to go high in the 05 draft?
That just seems like a list of guys not projected to be drafted and who are likely going to be playing college ball next year.
My recollection: Most people were saying he should stay another year in college, that his stats were too reliant on how good his team was (he was playing with several other future pros, obviously) and that he needed to prove he was a pro level guy on his own, able to get his shot off, lead a team, etc.. The general sense was that he was a second-rounder, but might go undrafted because in addition, he was pretty under-sized for an NBA PG. So to directly answer your question, no he wasn't. It took a lot of people by surprise, including the staff, when he seemed intent on staying in the draft.

That’s how I remember it as well. And I think Dee was a little upset with Weber for telling him he should come back.

I definitely remember that.
Same here. Dee was caught off guard, I think assuming Weber would help promote his bid once he made his decision. A lot of people believed at the time that if you wanted to attract good players, you need to give that kind of advice behind closed doors, but support them fully in public. We all know how the Weber era went, so no need to relitigate it. But suffice to say, it was one of the criticisms of Weber that got louder as time went on.

Yes, in accordance with the record declining.
No, he was upset about Weber publicly saying he should come back.

The both look great!
Was Weber dancing in that photo or was it just me
Kofi scored quick 7 pts in his first game. Marcus Carr has hit two 3s also.
Kofi ended up with 9 and 5 in about 10 minutes in first half. He was 1 of 3 from line when I was watching and also had ball stripped by a guard when he brought ball down. Overall looked pretty good. Did look like he had slimmed down some, though that might just be because I was watching on a smaller device.

Kofi really struggling from the FT line today. Just air balled one...
It is a simple process. He is making his own decisions regarding HIS life.
