June 23, 20179 yr Frank Jackson should have stayed in college. He fell to the 2nd round. Stayed in college to lose time to Trevon Duval and fall even further? He was always projected late first round/early second. He went where the projections said he would go. Plus he goes to the Pelicans. Great situation in New Orleans for him.
June 23, 20179 yr Frank Jackson should have stayed in college. He fell to the 2nd round. I'll also add that at the end of the draft they were talking about how the culture of the draft has changed. It used to be the goal to be a top 5 pick. Then it was be a lottery pick. Then it was get drafted in the first round to get guaranteed money. Now it is just get drafted, I don't care where. As long as kids don't get compensation in college then you'll see this mindset reign supreme. Kids can not get drafted at all and still go overseas and make money.
June 23, 20179 yr Frank Jackson should have stayed in college. He fell to the 2nd round. Not your best hot take.... He was the 1st pick in the 2nd round. He's going to make a couple million bucks over the next 2-3 years. Wish I could make that kind of "mistake". Edited June 23, 20179 yr by UKMustangFan
July 8, 20179 yr Frank Jackson should have stayed in college. He fell to the 2nd round. From Shams Charania...... Sources: New Orleans is signing No. 31 overall pick Frank Jackson of Duke to 3-year deal, with two guaranteed years and third-year partial. You were saying......
July 10, 20179 yr From Shams Charania...... Sources: New Orleans is signing No. 31 overall pick Frank Jackson of Duke to 3-year deal, with two guaranteed years and third-year partial. You were saying...... Such a horrible decision. :lol2: Thankfully these guys don't have BGP members advising them.
July 10, 20179 yr We will see how it turns out. He still took a huge risk that may or may not work out
July 10, 20179 yr We will see how it turns out. He still took a huge risk that may or may not work out It'll work out to the tune of a couple $M over the next 2-3 years....Not sure how anyone can say that isn't a good choice.
July 10, 20179 yr We will see how it turns out. He still took a huge risk that may or may not work out He was drafted in the second round and got a guaranteed contract. That's the whole point of leaving early for those non lottery pick players. Getting that guaranteed money. He succeeded in doing so. As did fellow Dukie and current backcourt mate Quinn Cook. Those two along with Jrue Holliday are the PGs for the Pelicans. Great situation for Frank and Quinn. If the Pelicans can get some wings they'll be legit.

August 14, 20179 yr Marvin Bagley deciding tonight. Consensus is he will choose either Duke or USC and try to reclassify to 2017 to get a year closer to NBA Draft.
August 15, 20179 yr Bagley to Duke Marvin Bagley III, considered the No. 1 high school basketball player in America for the class of 2018, announced Monday night that he is done with prep basketball. He will reclassify and attend Duke. Bagley, a 6-foot-11 forward who's 18 years old, played for Chatsworth Sierra Canyon last season as a junior, averaging 24.6 points and 10.1 rebounds. There was speculation all summer that he would not return to Sierra Canyon and would seek to take his talent to the college or professional level. He finally made his announcement live on ESPN's SportsCenter and was down to Duke, UCLA and USC. He said since Duke offered him a scholarship as a ninth grader, he had been interested in the school. "I really trust the coaching staff over there," Bagley said. "They told me if i went there, it would go smooth and get me better. I'm very happy with my decision." By completing his high school credits and joining a college team now, it means Bagley will be eligible for the 2018 NBA draft and put him into position to be a candidate for the No. 1 spot. Bagley has spent the summer playing in the Drew League in Los Angeles against pros and ex-pros. Drew League chief financial officer Mike McCaa said, "In 44 years, he's had the most impact of any high school player I've witnessed."

Bagley also announced his intentions to reclassify to 2017 and be on campus within the next few weeks after finishing up his high school academic work. Fall semester classes begins Aug. 28 at Duke. Someone else might have more info but he was at a prep school to help speed up the process of graduating early.
