Wasn’t he a senior

It’s not like college basketball does anything for your NBA prospect these days

JD Davidson was awful at everything this year and got drafted because he was a 5 star recruit

Nah Shack wasn’t a senior. But going to the right program definitely helps even if you’re a 5 star. You can still get developed even if you in school 1 year. We see Davison didn’t develop and that’s why he’s probably gone be playing in China in a few years

Didn’t develop?

He’s undersized, can’t dribble, can’t shoot, can’t make plays, can’t get past anyone. The only thing he has is athleticism that he can’t even display due to being poor at everything else

There’s a lot of people that said he was a fraud for to not going to a bigger high school to play real competition before he got to college

I feel like Shackleford played 4 years. He was there when Avery Johnson was

He also couldn’t show his athleticism because y’all had poor spacing. NBA has way better spacing so he’ll be able to show that off more. Herb jones was shytty on the offensive end for 4 years with y’all now at the next level he looks more comfortable on offense because of better spacing.
Maybe he is a fraud but he might be a better pro than college player

Herb Jones still showed his defense, BBIQ and playmaking while he was here

The Pelicans fixed his shot. He had a brand new shooting motion this year

I could roll with maybe he would be better in the nba if he wasn’t 6’2”

No one on the coaching staff was telling them to leave lol we have a scholarship spot we aren't even gonna fill this season. Kids just think they are better than they are, happens everywhere.

JD definitely should've stayed. Don't think he has the bball IQ to make it but we'll see if they can develop his shot. Shack and Ellis got signed. Shack just too small but Ellis has a chance to make it

This. Shack was just done with college. We had to talk him in to staying last season. And JD just had his mind set on being a 1 and done. His family/inner circle should've gave him better advice

When you’re a highly touted recruit not being a 1and done is bad for your brand

Is JD Davidson a lottery pick if he didn’t play last year like Sharpe at Kentucky?

Yea it's a shame he's caught up in all of his own hype but he's just a kid so can't be mad at him.

Nah he wasn't that level prospect coming out. Only way he was going first round is if he had a good season. Brandon Miller's a better NBA prospect

Even with JD and Shack leaving we have one of the best if not the best group of guards in the country. JQ, Mark Sears, Dom Welch, Nimari Burnett. All 4 of them are legit starters. Not to mention Jaden Bradley who was just the #1 PG in his class and Rylan Griffen the #2 SG.

We really just need Bediako to take a decent step forward as an all around player. But the biggest thing is Brandon Miller has to be great. Shouldn't be asking for too much
