Title: Q declares for the NBA draft
Post by: ytownchief22 on April 02, 2020, 10:08:17 PM
Darius Quisenberry has declared for the NBA draft but has not hired an agent meaning he can return to school if he chooses.

Unbelievable. He may be a year or two away. I'm just surprised by this move if he doesn't come back it's a big blow to the program. But he didn't hire an agent so there's promise. Not sure how he would be drafted I think he needs another year or two

He is a year or two away from playing in Europe.

6'1" and im sure that's a stretch... NBA?  I think not! He isnt better then Humphrey or Perry.  Obviously testing the waters or is concerned next year is in question?

I'm afraid this is the first step of him getting his name out there as a grad transfer after this season.  Book it.

  He will likely be back at YSU.  If he has a future as a pro, it is in Europe.  Wick250 is right, he has no shot to play in the NBA.   

 Q is a very good player, but he would struggle in a major conference.  The 41 point night vs Wright State was one we all will remember, but two days later against Northern Kentucky he couldn't make a shot.

Perry was a much shooter than Q at this time of their career. Perry is still playing in Europe and may never make it to NBA.
He is better off staying in YSU to improve his game or sit out a year transferring to a power conference to increase his exposure. Of course, he might not have the playing time.

Maybe he is just scoping out his options.

He will be back but can't hurt to be evaluated by scouts and coaches and be told what to work on.

I had a weird feeling Q might try and do this, but I thought it would be after next season.  I guess maybe there's no harm, but you have to wonder now his commitment to YSU.  While he had a great season and I really looked forward to where he could be as a player if he played all 4 years at YSU, I just can't imagine he could think he's NBA caliber, especially now.

And while I know Cam Morse didn't have the players around him, his sophomore season numbers were a lot better as he averaged 20.3 ppg, shot 41.3 from 3, 81.1 FT.

Cam Morse is also at 6’3”” and he was not drafted by NBA. The last time I checked, he was only playing in a Euro development league in Las Vegas. It will be a very long shot for Q tp be drafted by NBA especially at a listed 6’1.

I agree 100% with mud's comparison with Cam.  Cam was phenomenal his soph/junior years.  DQ has one advantage is that he's a natural point guard.  I see him as a nice over seas player and he can make a great living doing that.  I  was wondering if DQ was thinking that he competed against Kendrick Nunn who had a great rookie season with the Heat that maybe he could too.

People relax, Q will be back. Nothing wrong with checking out his options.
