Appreciate your opinions on the following topics:

x - KA questions - what are the chances he gets drafted by the NBA? Does he have to pull his name before the draft to be eligible to return? Do you think he’d leave VT to play overseas? To me, his last 2 games were his worst of the season, and I like to see him make a better exit. More importantly, I think he’s the difference between VT being an “OK” or “Really Good” team.
x - WB questions - what are odds he returns? If he does, does he start? When does he have to make that choice? I know I’m excited to have a pg who is more of an offensive threat (how is SM’s defense?).
x - JB related question - I was very disappointed to lose Joe to the portal because I think his best ball is ahead of him (IMO, bigger loss than Cone). Surprised he didn’t get more minutes this year - especially, when TR was out. Which brings me to the question, “Is it easier to develop a players defensive or offensive skills” (ie. could JB’s D skills been improved?)? Seems like players are either good shooters or passes, or they are not. Yet, defense is a lot of instinct and hustle.

Overall, I’m very excited regarding the direction of the program. I admit I was not hosting a parade when MY was hired, but I can’t imagine a basketball coach being a better fit for VT. Seems like a great guy in addition to be a successful coach.

Thanks again for any response you provide.
