Default SK getting a little attention

http://nbadraft.net/2013mock_draft

I don't see him going or getting picked next season.
Who would he compare to in.the league? I think he could play but I also
Believe that these guys get nit picked so much. If you can play ball
You can play ball......he could be a decent sixth man eventually I believe

If he has a monster year, and can realistically move into the first round, he's history.

I'm conflicted - on the one hand, besides wanting him to succeed in his future profession, I want him to have that monster year because it means the Cats will have a great year and tourney. On the other hand, think of what a senior SK will bring to the table!

those things are not worth the paper they are infrequently printed on anymore. however, i couldn't fault sk for whatever he does. he was redshirt, so it's another year of school vs. making money somewhere. it's a gamble either way, but a lot is invested in how much improvement you can make year over year. recall, deonta vaughn seemed to lose his shot for most of his senior year. it's a gut call.

I agree. But if he has a monster year and moves to the first round, it will help Mick to recruit in the future. If he can show that he can get guys to the league, it raises the level of recruits he can get to come here.

This does make me worry that they perhaps have heard something regarding him having plans to leave. Otherwise, I don't know why they would project him as a junior to leave to be a 2nd round pick. Unless the following year is projected to be extremely deep, you'd think he'd be better off to come back to attempt to get a guaranteed contract/ become a 1st rounder. But there was a thread after last season with a similar website (possibly the same one) that projected him to enter the last draft. It could all be alot of bs speculation, but there could be truth to it.

I don't see him becoming a first round pick no matter how big of a year he has. If he does, I still don't see him leaving for the league. SK is wired a lot different from your average college basketball player looking to get to the league as quickly as possible. He is truly the type of young man that wants to savor the college experience. Maybe if he gets projected as a lottery pick that would sway him to leave, but as a late first rounder I think he would come back to enjoy his senior season.

I find the fact that they have 13 better PG's in the draft than Cash amusng. I know his injury history is a concern but he's schooled a few of the PG's listed. Dude is one of the most overlooked PG's in the country....until this year.

This is coming from the same website that had Ibrahima Thomas projected as a second round draft pick 2 years back. Not saying that SK will not go pro, because I believe he will, but next year seems a little soon. Still has a ton of developing to do before he should think about risking his career with no guaranteed contract.

Agreed but he could have his degree after this season to fall back on....
