Getting VERY interesting
If he continues to show out, I wont be surprised to see him move up to be drafted in the 15-20 range which would put him first round. That would be more than enough incentive to stay in the draft. I would him to come back to be a lottery pick next year, but its hard to pass up being drafted in the first round from a business move. Pulling for him regardless of what he decides.Sounding like Primo is going to get drafted by a terrible team.
The Rockets have the 23rd and 24th pick.If he continues to show out, I wont be surprised to see him move up to be drafted in the 15-20 range which would put him first round.

I went ahead and set my dvr to record the combine to see how he does today.
I think both Petty and Herb plays tomorrow.

Their organizational issue is FertittaPlease not Houston lol ... they've been having organization issues as of late. I know the Bulls were interested at the beginning but that's changed for some reason. ESPN mock draft has him going to the Pelicans at 35 BUT this was before the combine started. If his upward trend continues, he could be the 3rd SG off the board. If for some reason, he still doesn't look to crack the first round, he definitely needs to come back.
Side note, I'm glad my Pistons have the first pick, they should make a lot of noise this draft. They have like 4 picks
I gotcha, but look at it this way, just like with the football program, it only helps build the credibility of our program RTR.I can't stand the NBA anymore and that's sad because it appears we are about to be putting players in there at the same rate the football team puts guys in the NFL.
TIFWIW, I heard on a local Bham sportscast that Petty decided not to play since he feels like he can not improve his draft stock by playing.If he continues to show out, I wont be surprised to see him move up to be drafted in the 15-20 range which would put him first round.

Interesting...but makes sense. Would have thought he would have needed to play though. But at the same time can see it hurting him if he didn't perform well. I think Primo, Makur and the kid from VCU really helped their stock yesterday.TIFWIW, I heard on a local Bham sportscast that Petty decided not to play since he feels like he can not improve his draft stock by playing.
That is a mistake IMHO. I'm not sure Petty will be drafted so playing and doing well may be the only shot he has.TIFWIW, I heard on a local Bham sportscast that Petty decided not to play since he feels like he can not improve his draft stock by playing.

Everyone and their brother knows this, including NBA scouts. Sitting out tells me he has no confidence in his ability to improve as a player and that he is unwilling to take a risk. Good luck playing overseas JP.He knows he is a streaky shooter...
