Nico Mannion joined the Arizona Wildcats as a projected lottery pick but finished as a second-round selection, leading many to wonder if he made the right decision to leave for the NBA after his one and only season in Tucson.
Should he have stayed another year? Our staff discussed it.
Ryan Kelapire: If this were a normal year, you could make a compelling argument for it. Mannion could have rebuilt his stock just by shooting better, and I think he would have done that in his second season at Arizona. He would have been more comfortable in the college game (and possibly healthier) and had more playmakers around him, allowing him to get some easier looks.
