So according to the GW Hatchet, the student newspaper at GW, two rising seniors on GW's basketball team are entering the NBA Draft, Pops Mensah-Bonsu (pictured) and Mike Hall. However, both players said they won't get an agent, which means they are free to come back to the team if they don't get much interest.
This sucks, because if they do go, that will really hurt our team, since they are two of the best players (obviously). I don't think it's a good idea for either guy though, because although Pops gets a lot of press for his monster dunks and has gotten much better in the paint, he also is kind of slim, average on defense, and lacks a mid-range jump shot, which I really think would make him unstoppable. If he got that, he could do well in the NBA. Mike Hall has a more complete game, I think, in that he's a great rebounder, good on defense, and is a good outside shooter too. I think he has more of a case to get taken in the draft, but he could be better offensively inside. Of course I don't want to see either guy go, since if they came back, we'd be a really good team. That being said, it's pretty cool that we could have two potential NBA draft picks.
