Andrej could come back next year, yes, but I would expect him to make the jump to the NBA. Never say never though.
Sounds EXACTLY like the talk with Tomislav last year.

I do think Andrej has a better year, but considering he's a poor shooter, he's likely not gonna get first round grades.

If he were to leave, then it's probably going to end up a Henry Vessar type decision. Nothing wrong with it, just comes down to is that what he prefers.

Let's see what his season looks like if he can stay healthy. He missed time right in the belly of the season and it was a struggle. His NCAA Tournament was phenomenal. He jumped right back on everyone's radar after falling off. His ability to get to the rim and finish was outstanding. I don't think that his form is ever going to allow him to be a consistent shooter, but given his athleticism and ability to finish in traffic.....if his shooting rises to average, he'll be a first round pick. Has to stay healthy though.

For Andrej next season? I think 5 million would be very reasonable.

Could definitely see it getting to 6.

Milan M. got 6+ from Kentucky.
Whoa whoa whoa… I was pleasantly surprised with how andrej finished the year, but he is nowhere near momcilovic money. Not even close. Milan is a three level scorer and the best shooter in the nation who can create his own shot from anywhere. Stoj was damn near a DFA candidate at one point last year. Glad he’s back, and excited to see if he can be consistent, but $6 million for his services is ludicrous at this juncture.
