Tremont Waters has declared for the NBA draft. As long as he doesn't sign with an agent, he can make the choice to return by May 30th. There are 181 people who have declared for the NBA out of 62 draft choices.
Supposedly Waters did not even get invite to nba combine which is good for LSU’s chances to have him back next year.
The NBA is so much different from the NFL in that there are so few roster spots on a team. Second round NBA picks sometimes struggle to make the roster.
As good as Waters is, there are very few players his size in the NBA. I was really surprised he was thinking about going pro. I think he is one of those players who is a great college player but not big enough for the NBA.
He’s really good though, so it’s not out of the question. He will benefit from another year in college. So will LSU. I think LSU could have a very good team next year, but they need him back running the offense.
