Arthur Johnson and Rickey Paulding were projected as late first rounders, returned for their senior years, and went undrafted. Jontay will improve but there are some factor that could cost him too. He is really young right now so the NBA will give him a boost based on the potential he hasn't displayed yet because of his youth. Next year the youth advantage is gone. Plus next year's team is not going to be as good as this years team was. If he comes back and averages 15 PPG on a team that doesn't make the tourney and struggles, that undoubtedly could hurt his draft stock. He will be the focal part of the offense with no real outside threats to take away pressure with Kassius and Barnett gone.
