Petteway

I am curious though whether Petteway has considered graduate school and would play another year at Nebraska.  

 

It all comes down to draft projection...if he's not projected to go high enough he'll come back for another year.

 

 

But how much does he gain from coming back another year.  Lets say he is going to be a late 2nd rounder coming off of 2015.  Given his age and skill sets, does one actually believe anything he did in 2015/16 would move him that high up the draft boards?  I don't.  I just don't see his draft value increasing by coming back for his Senior season.  So, even though he may not be drafted very high out of this year, it would make sense for him to leave with degree in hand so he can start making money professionally.  

 

 

Upperclassmen can and have moved up draft spots from season to season. With underclassmen, a scout will look at tape and spot a few plays that stick out and show their potential. But upperclassmen have to show tangible improvement to their game through the course of a season in order to work their way up draft boards. Good example would be Doug, who a lot of people thought would have been better off declaring for the draft after his junior season. He added fadeaways, some perimeter game and more dribble drive to his arsenal while still being effective and scouts moved him up from a late first round pick at the start of the year to solidly mid lottery before draft workouts began. If Terran still has room to improve his game (he does), and he has the benefit of playing in a high exposure conference like the B1G, then there's no reason to believe he can't improve his draft stock. At the end of the day, it's about how good a basketball player you project to be at the next level. If he elevates his game then scouts will have to take notice

 

 Doug was never a mid lottery pick.  His defense is so horrific, there was never a chance of that.

I thought the takeaway from Adidas Nations this summer was that Petteway had, in fact, improved his draft stock.  They gave him a list of things to work on and it sounded to me like he'd worked on them.
