Any updates on Saric?  His agent said a week ago he'd be declaring in the next week.  Glad I took him off the list.

Saric is ephemeral.  He'll probably declare on the deadline.  Of course, as a foreign player he can take his name out in the middle of June, so who knows how many times you'll have to edit the list on his behalf.

Is he just trying to get leverage to milk his Euro team out of more money or something?  His pre-draft behavior has been very bizarre and erratic the last couple of years, but I don't really know the backstory to it.

His agent has said that his father is too involved in the decision making process.. I don't know, I just get the feeling that Saric would be a headache for whichever team drafted him. I'm sure there are gm's out there who have similar concerns.

If Saric had just entered the draft without a fuss he would be a clearly slotted at the back-end of the top ten.

Bingo. His agent thinks that his family is too involved in providing an opinion that's clearly running counter to what the agent thinks should happen.

I'd probably put more stock in what the family said -- the agent's just trying to get paid.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Thanks - looks like Capela declared a few days back.  TP for the tip.

But I can't find anything indicating Bogdanovic or Nurkic has declared.  Found an article from last year on Bogdanovic declaring for the 2013 draft, which clearly didn't stick.  And nothing on Nurkic besides a few people saying he's likely to declare. Are you sure they're in?

I'm not sure at all.  I know nothing about it.  I get my information from your list.

I've added a third category to the OP that I think will save me a lot of trouble.

Spencer Dinwiddie of Colorado comes out despite tearing his ACL in January.

And Khem Birch is leaving UNLV.  Don't know anything about him.

Mitch McGary is in, after having been suspended all of next year for a single positive marijuana test.  I'm pretty anti-drugs (and alcohol) myself, but that punishment is ridiculous.

Harrison twins are back to school.

This is not a repeat from last offseason  ;)

Thanks for the tips saltlover and Birdman, haven't been able to update with the forums down.


Really like the Dario Saric category.

It's really useful because instead of having to constantly keep up with whatever the latest mixed message is, I can just look at the Big Board and see that he is still Dario Saric and move on to more productive wastes of time.
