Tony Mitchell staying another year

[mgfan]

According to NBADRAFT.net he will. The website thinks t-mitch is going as the 21st pick to Orlando in the 2013 draft.

This would be huge for UNT if he stuck around. I can see us making a big run in the tournament next year with Mitchell around.

2013 Mock Draft.

Mock drafts for two years from now...

About as useful as preseason rankings for any year.

About as useful as Todd Dodge's playcalling armband.

About as useful as Occupy Denton.

I want to hear the words from his mouth, although I believe he will be here another season.

[mgfan]

NBADRAFT.NEt is not the only site that thinks that he will stick around, DraftExpress also thinks he is going in 2013.

[FloMoGrad]

Whatever he chooses is a win-win for UNT. If he stays, we get his talent for another year. If he goes after year 1, then he could potentially be the highest drafted player from UNT ever, on just one year, which would be a solid boost as well.

But after watching CJ, RF and JW, we're going to be solid for the next 3 years anyway, with or without TM, which is not to say I wouldn't like him to stick around for a few more years....

[H-towngreen]

With as deep as the draft is going to be this year I think that he will stay to play another year at NT.

He could always go to Europe for a year also.

He could always go to Europe for a year also.

That was already an option when he chose to wait out Mizzou and sit a year before playing here. I don't see that happening.

[Travis]

Expect him to be here next season.

[untbowler]

Expect him to be here next season.

Expect about as much as 2 others

If I had to bet money, I'd say he leaves after this season. He's a first-round pick this year, and I doubt he's too interested in staying in school and going to class, when the alternative includes millions of dollars. I'd love to have him back, but I won't be the least bit surprised if he leaves.

[Got5onIt]

If he's getting word he'll be a first round pick, he'll be gone. Hell, I'd go to if i had a chance to make millions. You can always go back to school.

Who is NT's highest drafted NBA player?

I could be wrong here... but no one?

[Andrew]

I think he stays because he is not even on the first round radar yet... Jones and Williams are a whole other story

The Philadelphia 76ers selected North Texas forward Kenneth Lyons in the second round (47th overall) in the 1983 NBA Draft.

I believe Lyons was our only player ever drafted, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
