Standard fare for any juniors that have a potential of getting drafted. Something that the big schools deal with every year. Now if he gets a decent review, he might be gone.

This, unless they project him to go in the first round he will most likely be back. To help his draft stock he needs to bulk up a bit more and work on three point shooting and free throws. It's going to be easier to do that here than floating around between the d league and Europe.
 
NO need to panic. Happens all the time they even talked about it in the Edwards Q&A. If he gets a round 1 draft grade(he won't) he will go on to the draft otherwise he should be back. Good for him to see what people think he needs to work on. Hutchinson from BSU did it last year.
 
Good for JJ. I hope he gets a chance somewhere. That being said, I don't see him getting a 1st round draft slot. I think another year would help him.

Either way, love seeing Pokes get a chance at the next level!
 
Would be cool if he got drafted, but I don't see it.. yet. Hopefully he gets good feedback and works his tail off and gets drafted next year
 
He is not NBA material. Just a pipe dream. Hopefully he doesn't hire an agent, if so his college career is over and he'll be scrambling to find something overseas. I'm not convinced he's even ready for Europe yet.

Remember the NBA hype about Josh Adams. James is definitely not ready.

While true that he's not ready, biggest difference between the two is Josh was a 6'1" SG, while Justin is more prototypical size for a wing.
