I don't get why people think returning to college will help him so much more than the NBA. He will be able to put all day everyday into basketball in the NBA where in college he wouldn't. He will have the best facilities, the best coaches, and the best trainers. And if he isn't good enough to get minutes in the NBA, he will get time in the G-League playing against players that are much better than what he will see most nights at the collegiate level. The NBA will be much better for improving his game than college ever could be.

Jontay is too soft for the NBA right now - El Zorro MU - 4/24 16:51:43

Darn thing is he could be a dominant college player in time - raskolnikov MU - 4/24 21:12:08

He's not too soft, he's too unathletic. - alwaysright MU - 4/24 20:55:31

Taking players off the dribble isn’t going to be a big - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/24 21:12:23

No, he won't. But he is still slow and unathletic. - alwaysright MU - 4/24 21:15:26

Jontay will get better as an athlete - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/24 21:21:03

I odn't disagree, just noting why he's not ready. And yes, - alwaysright MU - 4/25 07:10:33

The best case for Jontay coming back imo - zodiac6 JC - 4/24 17:14:47

That sounds like an honest (and rare) assessment - tiger4real MU - 4/24 16:32:27

GMs might want to be able to do that. But Owners spend - StaleyTiger MU - 4/24 16:47:36

Yes of course, Owners/GM goal is to win - that’s the surest - tiger4real MU - 4/24 17:31:48

Tanking isn't the same as relegating a player who can - StaleyTiger MU - 4/24 16:58:10

Ok, I agree with that. But they absolutely draft or - FIJItiger MU

That's true. But they also don't want risk. - zodiac6 JC - 4/24 17:11:00

OR find out quickly they can’t make it - tiger4real MU - 4/24 16:43:27
