Wait. I forget how this goes. Is under a higher pick or a lower pick?

DJ unsolicitedly told my 12 yr old son at Aggie basketball camp this week that this was his last year.

he supposedly told people last summer the same thing. him getting injured might have been a blessing in disguise for both him and A&M.

We'll see.

Edit: I mean on DJ leaving, not your story.

So he was just going around telling random 12 year olds "I won't be back next year?"

j/k good luck to DJ whatever he decides to do

Really hope DJ doesn't leave. Would love to see what can happen when he, Admon, and Davis can do as seniors.

I sort of hope he does leave because it means we probably had an awesome year.

He wasn't a random 12 yr old, he was MY 12 yr old! J/K

Seriously, that's kinda why I even mentioned it. It was strange. I've never said anything to him about DJ talking about wanting to leave this offseason before he got hurt (and even after). We were just at dinner and he said, "So I was talking to DJ this morning and he said, 'Yeah, this is my last year here.'"

Even if dj doesn't have an awesome year as long as he is healthy he will leave from everything I've heard.

It isn't like it used to be where leaving early was "risky." There are lots of guys who leave early knowing they won't be drafted but are ready for the d league. Melo Trimble last night was a typical example. McDonald's all American to second team all American as a freshman to undrafted after his junior year. He was probably just ready to move on to the next stage of his life.

I will say the same thing here I said about Robert Williams staying when he would have been a first round draft pick this year. I never say that somebody makes a "dumb" choice when it comes to these things. Different people value different things and they can all do what they think will make them happy.

I should rephrase because you're right, we don't have to be any good for him to leave, but what I more or less meant is that if DJ Hogg actually gets picked in the NBA draft we probably had a good season because to me he's going to have to show quite a bit to get picked.

I just don't see a team spending a draft pick on Hogg next year, and for that matter, ever.

I'd love to get your analysis about how Tyler Lydon is so much better than dj will ever be.

It's not always about a player being "better" when it comes to the draft.

And, go on...

Why was Tyler lydon a first round pick but dj will never be drafted?

Do you feel like with respect to DJ you have a better feel for what NBA teams will do in the draft than the people who make these projections?

Maybe he's a better shooter, or a more consistent shooter. Maybe because he's got more size. Maybe because he played at a basketball school, against better league competition. Maybe he has intangibles that we just don't know about.

I've seen plenty of names on these mock drafts over the years not get drafted. Just check out the mock draft done yesterday morning. Several names on it that didn't hear their name called.

I remember seeing Joseph Jones, Josh Carter, Donald Sloan, Danuel House, etc, on mock drafts at one time or another.

I'm sort of with _lefraud_ in that I think DJ needs to show something next season to make him worth picking, that's kind of why I said what I did about it meaning we probably had a good year.

He may me on all the mock drafts right now, but those are absolutely worthless. Mock drafts that come out in January are worthless, these are somehow even more worthless.

DJ might want to check in with the Baylor kid who was widely thought to be solid in the 2nd round and how his draft party went.

Odds are he "chose" not to be drafted. If you get drafted second round you are likely to be signed and stashed in the D League. Guys that go undrafted often do so because they indicate a reticence to agree to that. Then you can sign in the d league and essentially be available to any team when a need arises rather than being bound to one particular team.

The idea that guys who come out early and don't get drafted made a mistake is an outdated notion. Lots of guys come out with full knowledge that they won't be drafted but feel that the d league is a better option for them at that particular stage of their career. Other guys prefer college. Both paths work well for some players.

I just think it is ignorant to act like guys who come out and don't get drafted made a mistake. Many of them made a rational choice with full information and don't regret it.

Saw a story about all the people at his draft party last night. I doubt you'd have a party while hoping not to be drafted.
