Michel Scotto over at everyone’s favorite pay-site, “The Athletic,” spoke to NBA scouts and executives about five notable early-entry draft prospects. Kentucky’s Jarred Vanderbilt and PJ Washington are two of the five NBA hopefuls discussed, and the anonymous opinions of what each of them should do may surprise you.
Up first is Jarred Vanderbilt, who earned a split-vote from the group consisting of one NBA scout, three NBA general managers and four NBA executives who spoke to Scotto. Four of the eight said Vanderbilt should remain in the draft, while three said he should return and another was undecided.
