Unfortunately it could mean 2 different things entirely.

1. He is coming back.

2. A general Manager told him he would take him with his second round pick and he should not get himself injured. (See Ojabo)

So 2 entirely different opinions.

Whatcha think?

I watched every game he played last year and I can't imagine him being drafted even at the end of the second round. He had one strength: spot up shooting when left alone (and then only at home). How often is anyone left alone to spot up shoot in the NBA? Plus he doesn't have a particularly quick release.

To his credit, his defense improved from dreadful to somewhat decent, but still can't be considered a strength. But he showed no ability to create his own shot or to hit 3's off the dribble (except on a fast break), and no ability to take it to the rim. He ineligible to improve for sure, but there are no guarantees. If he comes back great, if he doesn't then I won't be as depressed as losing Trey, or Nick, or Franz.

Yeah shoes but NBA GMs look at things we do not understand. That is why they make the big bux

So now there are a couple mock drafts that have Caleb going to OKC with pick 30. This is actually a projection in at least 1 other mock besides this so now 2 of them have said it.

A lot of the time, as we know, where there is smoke there is far! lol

I saw that Joe. I am prepared to be wrong about that (nether the first time , nor will it be the last). I just don't see the skill-set based upon what he actually did in a full season of college basketball. To me he was essentially Evan Smotricz (spelling unknown).

I just can't figure how he showed enough this year to make a GM like his "potential" and draft him 1st or 2nd round.

he has the measurables and the IQ but another season where he works on his game and becomes a 45/40/85 player and he goes in the first round next year. I think he knows that. Plus I think he figures that Juwan has plans for him to be even more integrated into the offense this year with Johns Jr leaving.

The other thing that nobody is talking about is that there may be an NIL in the works that he likes and brings him back to MICHIGAN.
