He has no shot to make a team next year. If he can develop foot speed then maybe he can work his way into a team. But waiting another year before getting setup with a team to start this training would lessen those odds of happening. This is the only reason for him to leave.
Garza declares for the NBA
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Personally I think Garza made those guys look better than they are. With no inside threat you can really pressure Joe W., CJ, Connor, etc. and I just wouldn't trust their playmaking ability.
I used to think that, then I saw Nikola Jokic dominate the league. There are still plenty of slow footed centers in the NBA. They need passing and shooting skills though, which Garza has.
Nor would I. But they can all shoot, and Joe can create offense for himself, maybe for others too. I don't think they'll be great by any means, but probably not bottom of the barrel Big 10 either. Lack of post presence would be concerning for them, I agree. I'll admit I don't even know who their post player would be if Garza left. No Kriener anymore, and Pemsl too.
Who knows. What I see is good shooters who got open shots because of Garza. Next year? Not so sure.
I hope you're right. I'm just trying to play devils advocate if Garza leaves and they still end up having a better year than us next year. Probably all a moot point as Garza will probably still be around
He certainly did down the stretch, where he wasn't much good at anything. But I've seen him capable of taking it to the rack from time to time. If Garza is gone, it will be his team. Put up or shut up time for him.
To be fair I wouldn't want to be using "having a better year than us" as any measure of success...
Garza knows he isn't a 1st rd kid no matter when he goes...but my guess is he goes thru draft. THe question is does a team take him mid to late 2nd rd? Im guessing a team will take a flier on him..Depends on draft and who has what picks in 2nd rd and needs..
Never a better time to enter NBA draft that's for sure.

I imagine all it would take is for Frank to see some dollar signs and Luka would be gone. I imagine he will be pretty heavily involved in any decision.
A prospects dad heavily involved in his kids decision to stay in the draft or return to college? Why would that be abnormal?
I hope he wows them and gets drafted, best thing that could happen to ISU.
The kid is right on the line, very good player, but is he good enough to play in the NBA, but how does another year in college really help him? But this years crop is not a strong group, so his value may never be higher than what it is right now.
The NBA loves them young, the longer you wait, the further you fall in the draft. Now if they think he has no chance, totally different story.

Be careful what you wish for, last time he played against us he literally destroyed us and the Cyclones had no answer, just saying.
That is fair, and I certainly agree it isn't a good measure of success. But the Hok trolls sure like to use it as their barometer.
Pemsl played 4 whole minutes, went 0-3 and had 0 points against us this past year..
