I was fortunate enough to get two last Christmas. My problem is if I drink them, then I won't have any............

Hard to believe Flagler won't stay in draft. Already played 4 years and has an NCAA championship. Not going to get any bigger by staying at Baylor.

NBA draft room
Flagler is a combo guard/undersized shooting guard who is a sniper from 3pt land with a quick release. He’s efficient with his touches, has great shot selection and is deadly accurate. He also shoots high 80’s from the FT line, which is indicative of his great shooting ability.

He can get his own shot off the dribble and is a great floor spacer who can’t be left open. His NBA role will be similar to Bryn Forbes.

At 6-3, 180 he’s a bit undersized and, although he’s got good quickness he’s not an elite level run/jump athlete and could struggle to guard NBA 2’s

Coleman could improve his draft position if he could improve his scoring. His shot selection is so so and he does not score inside enough for somebody who is 6'10". He also needs to eliminate the turnovers.

Right now he is 100% potential based on size, athleticism. Another year would let him improve his skills.

- develop a deadly short range jumper or reliable baby hook that gets his scoring from 10 ppg to 15 ppg
- take only catch and shoot 3 pointers and improve his 3 pg % from 28% to 38%
- lead Illini to elite 8 by playing big in the biggest games like Ayo and Kofi

the older he gets, the less NBA teams are willing to gamble on "potential". He has a lot to lose by coming back as well, if he doesn't show improvement in specific areas

TSJ without a point guard last year was all-conference. Give that man quite literally any experienced pg and there's a very real chance he's the player of the year in the conference. There's no player in the portal that can replace TSJ. Having him back will be absolutely massive. There are several options that can easily replace what we lacked at point guard last year and we will almost certainly get one. This isn't hard.
