If he was ready to take bigger dollars, it would make sense to just declare for the draft and sign a much larger deal. Could this be a play at coming back with NIL $$$?

Mikey 16,605 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Some players may prefer another year of college life, if there is enough NIL money to make it work. The NIL may not have to match the NBA dollar for dollar as long as it's enough to make life better. Another thing, I cannot imagine that the Kessler family is having to pinch pennys anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,100 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 But if he's a first rounder, that's a guaranteed contract. I'm guessing this is a hedge against some unexpectedly poor draft feedback. If he gets the feedback most expect (high-teens, low-20s), he'd be crazy to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, hey...shhhhh. go delete your post! If he reads that, he may just go to the NBA. Right now, I am believing he is coming back until Adam "the twig" Sliver calls his name for the draft.

AUinMS9528 1,086 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Has any draft-eligible player ever in the history of the NBA draft, been projected in the top 20, and still go back to college anyway? Im just curious to see how historic a Kess for one more year situation would be. Again, it seems very highly unlikely, but it would be awesome if he did!

Tim Duncan, Al Horford and Joakim Noah, Buddy Hield, and Shaq are a few that come to mind. The Joakim Noah and Al Horford one is interesting since they were teammates and were a huge reason for 2 other starters coming back and Florida being the last program to win the National Championship in back-to-back years.

With the NIL it makes sense for certain players to come back and Kessler just signed a deal with dunkaroos. If Kess falls to the 2nd round he might not make more than he could with NIL deals.

Tigerfinz 1,362 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Kessler, in my opinion, needs to get stronger and develop more offensively. If he could develop more low post skills and increase his 3 pt shooting, he would be a lottery pick next year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems strange Do we even know if it was exclusively a college thing? They had Miles Bridges, a NBA player, announce Kessler's signing on their feed iirc. You're probably either keeping it going into the league or maybe they knew he was coming out early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
