Harvard is a massive favorite next year on anyoneâ€™s court. They are an even bigger one at home no doubt.

This being said yale with oni is a contender. If they get good pg play and bruner makes the jump he can from a real offseason for once then they should make the playoff which gives them better than a punchers chance statistically. pretty loaded actually assuming any growth in existing 4 of 7 â€œstartersâ€ coming back. And they have talent up and down this roster otherwise assuming it develops in line w expectations.

Oni likely goes if he has a good combine and/or good workouts. The goal is to get closer to 40 than 60 in this draft.
Next year might not improve much for him regardless bc he will be 22 and almost 23.
The Yale degree argument is dumb to me and I have one. He has one year of credits left and as smart as he is that can be done relatively easily in a few off seasons which he will do. basically he is getting this degree regardless so why let it impact his timing. At worst he will get paid and plays in a high euro league. At best he gets an nba roster spot. And in the middle is possibly a 2 way g/nba deal.from what I can gather getting picked at 40 wld all but guarantee the non-euro scenario. Not sure if itâ€™s say 45.

The combine performance will of course matter in framing upside/downside in this draft. but I donâ€™t know how high the bar really is...make more shots than he did against LSU? Show his athleticism. but his position doesnâ€™t improve much next year?
And his skill if showed is 3 and D. That stock is accorded a high multiple right now if they believe in him. Will the value on his skill go up next year? They might feel better abt it but they donâ€™t increase their multiple on him I donâ€™t think. They also could cut the valuation multiple. He might feel better finishing his degree and getting a Y letter sweater. But there is possible opportunity cost

of course I hope he doesnâ€™t leave bc they would be dangerous
