Isn't that a thing that happens a lot? Guys get strong suggestions from multiple teams and then none of them deliver. It is in the NBA teams best interest to strengthen the pool in which to draft from as they never know who will fall where. A team may be saying sure we will take Preston at #35, assuming player X,Y & Z are gone but one of them is not. Just something to consider...getting a feel for where you will land isn't as easy at it seems.

It's especially devastating in hoops, because you can't put the milk back in the bottle, you can't go back to college, you're stuck. That's why I generally believe it's a good play for a baller with the talent that Jason Preston has to bet on himself, return and improve his draft position. After all, he will at least be a second-round pick in the following draft, right?

Just something to consider...getting a feel for where you will land isn't as easy at it seems. Every year it seems like 28 players are told they are "late first rounders." It seems to me that if JP returns to college he could find himself among the same 28, all over again, in the '22 draft. He seems to have surprised a lot of experts, the way he has jumped up in the rankings. What was he before the combine 75? unranked in many? Now today he comes in at #42 in one and #10 in another. He's "the flavor of the month" pick - there is a lot of power in that kind of momentum. Second round picks are long-shots, right? Well, that fits right into the storyline for Preston. If I were him I'd find it impossible not to go for the win, right now. "The name's Ohio University, but everybody calls me Ohio. Any of you guys call me Ohio U, and I'll kill you."

He'll get more playing time when Kyrie gets injured again. "Loyalty to a hometown or city is fleeting and interchangeable, but college is a stamp of identity."- Kyle Whelliston, One Beautiful Season.

Johnny Juzang, Isaiah Mobley, Max Abmas, Marcus Bagley, and Ron Harper Jr are all coming back. I don't know what the international prospect pool looks like, but that's huge news for Jason's chances.
