Thomas is a toss up and I wouldnt put him at #2. He isnt a for sure 1st Round pick which is where the guaranteed money is. He does have a kid though so maybe he bolts and gets paid because he will get paid to play basketball somehwere.

Burke
Oladipo
Hardaway
Zeller
Payne
Thomas

Gotta have GRIII higher than Thomas, he's a borderline lottery pick at this point.

Whether some of the other-than-Burke MI players go or not may depend on how their stock goes with this coming weekend. Can't believe McGary is that high after not even starting for most of the year but if he's rated that high next week...

DraftExpress does not have the Michigan guys or Thomas nearly that high in their mock drafts..McGary is not even in the top two rounds.
If this reflects their true draft slots...I think they all come out,with only Payne a question mark.
 
I think Burke, Oladipo and Robinson leave. I think the rest could go either way...but who really knows what these kids are thinking or being told. I also don't know the financial situation of these guys to know if their families "need" them to get a paycheck.
 
One thing I just found out that will likely have a huge impact on the draft--Mitch McGary, though only a true freshman, will turn 21 before the NBA Draft in June. I think he's as good as gone.

Interesting! McGary was born June 6, 1992. Roy Devyn Marble was born September 21, 1992. McGary has already said he's coming back...could always change his mind. He isn't good enough to shoot 40% from the line in the NBA IMO. He's not Shaq.

As mentioned by Jalen Rose on Bill Simmons' latest podcast, how come no team has went with the Hack-McGary defense yet? :)
