The Jerryd Bayless Thread

[Muttley]

Most guys say they'll be back. He could be returning, though. He certainly could do more for Arizona next year, but if the NBA opportunity is there, then you really gotta take it.

Only guy that's so high-profile that I can think of off the top of my head that said they were going back and actually did was Hibbert. I'm sure there are more, but it just doesn't happen as often.

He's looking like a top 5 pick this year. There is no way he's going to improve on his draft stock. The only thing he is doing is risking injury and his NBA chances by going back.

agreed. If he gets that killer mentality to score or assist on every play, he could be very good, but as I continue to collect my draft thoughts, I lean toward DJ A. over Bayless, I know nothing of Bayless' work ethic, so that makes it harder for me to judge him
