My thoughts as a longtime lover of MBB, but defer to GC et al more versed
KA: I don't think KA goes in either round. I supposed it's possible he gets on with a team for summer league, which then obviously he would no longer be amateur. There is a deadline and it is later this year b/c the draft is later. I agree on the difference he makes. I dunno, unless he really needs money I don't see him opting for overseas yet. Question in his mind maybe is - will one more year at VT better position him to be a pro? That includes a (likely) move to the 4, is that better for his pro prospects? I'm sure he has several folks in his ear on that including CMY.
WB: No inside intel, just hunch, but I'd say odds are less than 50/50 he returns. He does not start if he does, I think Storm becomes the leader of this offense and lion's share of minutes. To your point on KA, Storm takes us from being really good to Sweet 16/2nd weekend good. I don't know about SM's defense but I suspect that's something CMY is not concerned about.
JB: Great questions on skills. GCHokie34 I think could answer that very well. I know GC was particularly critical of JB's defense throughout the season and said here many times.
Very thoughtful post, Beach, and key questions I think we all have!
