Wow, I just had to do a double take. A 4 page thread on Mark Mitchell returning? (What happens if Jaden Schutt comes back? JK )

Lineski, I don't know what he's going to do but I would absolutely take a senior guard like Roach over a brand-new player. Roach was the glue on a team full of toddlers.

That’s not what I asked.
I think flips biggest weakness was strength and explosiveness. If he can add more muscle over the summer and continue to build up the frame. Show Scouts a more explosive game next year, then yes he could jump to a lottery maybe a top 10pick.

But it’s all a risk. Teams that were able to get underneath him and put bodies on him like Tennessee and Virginia really took him out of his element.

All that stuff you listed, are things that are more easily obtained at the NBA level where players don’t have to go to class and deal with limited coaching time.

It is what it is.

Snowballs chance in hell.
He would be a fool to come back to school and pass up 1st round money. What exactly is he going to do better next year to push him all the way into the lottery?

We say "next year is a weaker draft" every year, eventually we'll learn it really never is.
If Duke is a better overall team next year and S. plays more players ,due to incoming freshmen, his role and shine could be reduced. Somewhat like Oscar's was this year.
