I don't remember the rule. Is he allowed to go back to Illnois?
Can Harper go back to Rutgers?

Good move by them. He has talent. Does it convert? I'd give him a try.Apparently signed as an UFDA with The Jazz.

Yep. He should have left after his freshman year.He could still make the league as a free agent but he messed up by staying in college too long and exposing his deficiencies.
We agree,He could still make the league as a free agent but he messed up by staying in college too long and exposing his deficiencies.
If he participated in the combine he could have gone back but if he signed them no.nope
I wonder if he realized with NIL he could potentially make more at Illinois than he might in wherever he ends up nextHe could still make the league as a free agent but he messed up by staying in college too long and exposing his deficiencies.
Is Brockington from Iowa State in the same position? (Assuming he is.)nope
Or could have by transferringI wonder if he realized with NIL he could potentially make more at Illinois than he might in wherever he ends up next
Would you rather have Kofi or Kessler? Kessler is a 58% free throw shooter. He scores only on dunks. Great shot blocker but pretty tough to play a 58% ft shooter at the end of games so when will he get used that somebody couldn't offer more benefits? I'm probably not taking either at 22 in the first round.
He could possibly make close to a million this year on the path he is on. Think that’s correct.Or could have by transferring
I feel like the fact that Kessler was a first round pick and no one took Cockburn kinda answers your question.Would you rather have Kofi or Kessler? Kessler is a 58% free throw shooter.

I don’t think it’s that easy of a decision. For the college game Kofi was a beast. I think I would have to pick him over Kessler.I feel like the fact that Kessler was a first round pick and no one took Cockburn kinda answers your question.
Kessler isn’t going to be playing at the end of games as a rookie consistently. He is a rotation guy.
You just made a case for Kessler. And it isn’t 1990I don’t think it’s that easy of a decision. For the college game Kofi was a beast. I think I would have to pick him over Kessler.
Kessler’s game better trasnslates to NBA though.
If this was 1990, Kofi may have been the 1st pick.
Kofi's problem is that he isn't a good defensive player other than being large. He blocked shots at about the same rate as Eric Curry. He was not a defensive presence even in the Big 10.I don’t think it’s that easy of a decision. For the college game Kofi was a beast. I think I would have to pick him over Kessler.

Both are good players. Their games are just different. Kofi was a beast in college but he (probably) won’t be in the NBA. His size alone contributed to his success.You just made a case for Kessler. And it isn’t 1990

Per 40: Kofi averaged 1.3 blocks and Walker Kessler averaged 7.1 blocks. That doesn't even account for the fact that Kofi is absolutely lost defending the pick and roll. The only reason any one compares the two players is because they are both tall.
The truth is that Walker Kessler was drafted because he was truly elite at blocking and altering shots. Of course some of that will be lost in the NBA. For people interested in Kofi, it was due to offense.
For the Wolves, they were looking to add an interior defender. If it wasn't Kessler, it would have been someone else whose defense translated a bit. They already have a decent offensive/no defense center in Naz Reid.

If I had to pick a college player, I’d probably pick Kofi.
Kofi is older. Kessler already has more floor game.Kofi's problem is that he isn't a good defensive player other than being large. He blocked shots at about the same rate as Eric Curry. He was not a defensive presence even in the Big 10.

Yeah Kofi types are plenty easy to find since the need isn’t great for them in todays NBA. I’m not shocked at all that her didn’t get drafted.Kessler is much better suited for today's NBA game than Kofi.
Yeah, they just aren't really similar players at all.Kofi is older. Kessler already has more floor game.
Is this a gopher forum or a wolves forum? I may have misinterpreted the initial question that started off this whole debate.Kofi was the better college player but the Wolves aren’t a college team.
The question was who would you rather have at pick 22.Is this a gopher forum or a wolves forum? I may have misinterpreted the initial question that started off this whole debate.
