NBA evaluation good or bad thing

[Bethboilerfan]

It might be a good thing for Purdue team that Swanigan is being evaluated for/by NBA. Sometimes the message is better received or even heard when it is coming from someone, other that a coach or parent or ?? In fact, it occurs to me that Haas and Edwards might benefit doing this???? Not too familiar with the process so I am not sure that is true but it seems like a good thing to me to be told your strengths and weaknesses by professionals.

Good thing for all involved. Players can get honest feedback directly from the league in regards to where they'd likely get drafted. They also get good feedback on their strengths and weaknesses. They have a good idea of what they need to improve upon to better their draft stock. As long as they don't hire an agent, they can come back to school.

College coaches aren't put in a position to try to potentially negatively influence the player on the decision (for some players, going is a bad choice. for some, staying is a bad choice). So, it removes coaches from getting only their best interest. It's early enough in the process that I think it doesn't negatively affect the recruiting process too much.

I don't see a negative.

I don't either. And I wouldn't be surprised to see VE or Haas do this, particularly after next year.

It's a good thing except for when they get "over-evaluated". Here's how that happens. The kids are told that there could be a good chance of a 1st round selection or at worst early 2nd , when in fact they know the hope is slim there,,,,,but what it does is give them (teams and dev. teams) more of a talent pool to choose from so they won't go back for their next year of college, so you see, it can be a double-edged sword.

This. There is no downside to declaring if you have no agent.

May not benefit college teams but it definitely benefits the players which is what really matters.

I think anyone with any kind of legitimate pro prospects should take advantage of it. Haas and Edwards should also imo.

Calipari announced that every KY player that is draft eligible including walk-ons will be declaring and checking out the process.

Always good to learn everything you can from many points of view when working towards a big goal or making a big decision.
