MBB Final: Louisiana (84) vs. Oakland (75)

With the way payton is playing, I am worried we may lose him this after year
Although he definitely needs another year in college to grow into his body more and develop some more of his game

He would have to start shooting a lot better. His free throw shooting was not good tonight. He scoring a lot of his points driving to the basket, which is fine in college but he is not big enough to take that pounding in the NBA.
Don't get me wrong I love the kid, but he is still only 19 years old.

Geaux Cajuns and Elfrid please stay another year!

I completely agree he needs to stay another year, I am just worried with the numbers he is putting up, it may sway him to make the choice to make the jump. Plus i think he would be better off for him to stay another anyways, he can improve his shot further, develop his body more, and the draft won't be so deep

[MelRock]

.... and the draft won't be so deep

I know and I wasn't trying to disagree with you. I agree with you on the draft not being as deep and that is what Marlin and everyone around him is telling him. I do not think he leaves unless a lot changes over the next couple of months.

Stop worrying about Elfrid leaving early. He has no chance whatsoever of being drafted after this season, even if he wanted to leave. And he doesn't.

Aiyeeee!!!

The last ten minutes of the game were the best of the early season. On the other hand, parts of the first thirty minutes were the poorest of the season. For us to win tomorrow, we will need more than a strong ten minutes. Coastal Carolina has a guy who corralled 14 rebounds in their win. They also got to the line 38 times and made 29. Keep in mind that today was a neutral court game while tomorrow's game will be a true road game.

NBA.com has him projected going 25th in the first round this year. Not saying that's a lock but if you are projected in the 1st round by anyone especially the NBA, don't sit here and tell me he has no chance whatsoever to get drafted.

Come on man, the clock guy knows his sh!! t, show some respect. EP has zero chance of going in the first round, he knows, he has been in on lots of NBA drafts.

Seriously?

Not that Elfrid needs motivation, but I would tell him the opposite.

The biggest check UL Basketbaal could cash tight now is a junior getting drafted.

It would be bigger than adding a million dollars to the recruiting budget.

He must run the clock during the draft for each team to make their pick.

All of the prognostications that I've seen of his draft value had him a first rounder in 2015, not 2014. Are you sure you're looking at the right year?
