In all reality, kid has no business leaving early at least based on what he's shown so far. Yes, he's an athletic freak but there's no way he's an NBA player yet.

If he has like 3 great ACC games and dominates Duke and UNC, he’s gone. The NBA doesn’t draft on season stats. Kyrie Irving played like 10 games for Duke and was the first pick in the draft.
Totally agree. Highlight reel slam dunks are exciting but the NBA wants to see more than that!
Offensively, Lonnie had that great flush but shot 1-7 on his three point attempts. Will he show a better touch on his outside shooting against far tougher competition in Hawaii and in the ACC? That'll be a key factor in determining the level of interest the NBA has this coming draft. Bruce Brown is another NBA-caliber player who also needs to show a better outside shooting touch. I know he's been injured but ... he still looks a little hesitant out there in taking the open three point look.

Lonnie just had a off day shooting. He has great form and accuracy and does everything at a high level. Bruce is a gamer with a average jump shot. Not to be compared.

Disagree. Second half of last game it started to come together. Created some shots for other players in addition to his own. Sure he missed some 3s this game, but did you see the previous game?

Every player either football or basketball are never ready to come out according to some of the experts on the board. Lonnie will be a 1st round draft choice next year if he wants to turn pro, to say he has no business doing so is a joke.

Lonnie is a freshman still feeling his way. We all saw the "previous game" which, to be honest, is still the only one where he's come close to shooting up to his ability. When they are all more like the game against BU, we'll know he's truly arrived.
NBA doesn't care about any of these stats or games for that matter.
They project 3-5 years down the line. That's it
Giles from Duke was horrible in college last year. Dude still went top 15.
****. Wingspan is a more important attribute than college stats
Walker has:
Plus athleticism
6'10 wingspan
Good form and range on jumper
Good and willing passer
Understand the game
Needs work on:
Consistency
Handle
Aggressiveness
I hope he stays another year, and maybe he will. But u guys are nuts
