Isaiah Roby

[Huskers93-97]

I have seen him projected at the end of the 1st round. If he is a projected 1st round pick he has got to go to the NBA 

I never saw a first round kid when I watched. He seemed clunky and a foul machine

He would likely fall in the draft to the 2nd round. NBA teams draft on potential. He has a ton of potential

He is staying in the draft or going somewhere else

Am I missing something?  Where does it say somewhere else?

He could come here, but the way he worded made it sound like he was pretty set on the NBA

 

[BigRedBuster]

Good luck to him.  Hope he catches on with a team and has a decent career.

Someone will pick him up.   I agree that it will be NBA.  I really hope he gets drafted.

No one benefits more than Roby on coming back. He will need to be able to play outside in the NBA. Fred would do wonders for his draft stock

Roby can also look at what happened to Copeland as a reason to not come back.

At this point, I think coming back in a new system can really help highlight his game or if he falters it could show maybe he isnt an NBA fit before he gets an NBA paycheck.

It will all depend how he grades out but I honestly wonder.. how much more will his draft stock grow with an extra year? NBA doesnt love SR's at all.

He go from mid to late second rounder to early second rounder?

If I am him, I am staying to try and be a part of a team that can win some games and enjoy 1 more year of college... Or he can enjoy playing in the G-league riding buses to Sioux Falls.

If you're not a likely first-round pick, you shouldn't leave early.

Not necessarily true as there are some very lucrative options professionally outside the NBA. KenPom ran a statistical analysis on The Athletic on guys coming back for their Senior years and they dont really improve like people think they do. Junior year is actually typically the maximum efficiency for guys. I’ll look to see if I can find it and if I do I’ll link it here.

Guys through the 40-45 pick range still get guaranteed contracts anymore.  Even if it is "only" a million that is still so much more valuable than a degree when you can go back and get that if you want.  There are enough smart people involved here, a team will let him know he is their guy in round two and he will get paid.  You leave if you can get the check.
