What's is Semi's motivation to return?
Can think of a few. The biggest being he isn't a first round lock. Mock drafts are all over the place. If he gets a 2nd round grade (despite what some people say) he can come back and become a lock 1st rounder, if he improves his game, and be in a less deep draft next year. Another is he could become a college all-American and a huge name, which Semi enjoyed being in the lime light this year. Another is make a tourney run something he hasn't been able to do. Also, Semi has life goals beyond the NBA. Could get another degree, smart kid and values education doesn't like class, but who does he obviously goes and pays attention and does well(not a big factor). Also, Semi isn't from a poor family who needs the money ASAP where he is desperate to get drafted anywhere and has to go even if he isn't ready. Age isn't a factor he is already considered old another year older (would be same age as Buddy when he went) won't make a difference.
My biggest one to go with he might not be a first rounder is Semi is a different cat. He marches to the beat of his own drum so he isn't like most kids who might jump regardless. Everything I've heard Semi is like 60-40 coming back. I'm not drinking the cool-aid that much, I think it's more 50-50 because he could get a first round grade or guarantee and go, but just telling y'all don't be shocked if he is back. It's not like he is a lock top 15 pick this year and clearly going to go he is more in the 25-40 range.
Best news: Semi is smart and will make a well informed decision and follow his heart, which is all you could ask for.
