4 NBA draft sleepers who have dominated the combine and shouldn’t have to return to school

The NBA draft combine is one of the most exciting events of the basketball season, and it teaches us a lot about the next generation of players.

The NBA draft combine is one of the most exciting events of the basketball season, and it teaches us a lot about the next generation of players.

One of the lessons we can learn from the event is whether or not someone will stay in this class and become professional, or if they want to return for another year of college basketball.

Last season, for example, Kansas wing Ochai Agbaji tested the NBA draft waters before he opted to return to college. He went on to win the national championship.

When players like Agbaji are testing the waters of the NBA draft while maintaining the eligibility to return to school, they receive feedback from scouts and executives as they make their decision about turning pro. Some have used that feedback to improve their draft stock, while others were satisfied with what they gleaned and opted to take the proverbial leap to the next level.

Based on what we have seen from the NBA draft combine so far, here are some of the no-brainer decisions. Others (e.g. Dalen Terry, Josh Minott, Harrison Ingram, Jaylin Williams, John Butler, Moussa Diabate, etc.) will have a tougher choice.
