I thought the same thing, Blue Woman. That was a sweet shot.
And yes that 3 was a total NBA move. Scouts are no doubt taking note.

i don't think he's here next year.Originally posted by Sithlyone:
If he truly is here for 2 seasons, I can't wait to see how he develops next year.
He'll be drafted in the 20s, and possibly even higher if he continues to shoot like this.
Also that cross over step back three...if he does that more times, he'll definitely get drafted high.
If he moves up in to the lottery, which is now being at least discussed as a possibility, he should probably go. If he's in the 20s he can definitely go higher with a year of being the #1 offensive option.
That move was ice cold. He and Doron have similar percentages on the season, but Doron could never create his own three like that. Kid is electric.

He is on a 5-6 game tear from three that ranks near the top in UK history at least percentage wise.
He along with Bledsoe are the biggest surprises of the Cal era for me. I thought Devin would be an unathletic, spot up shooter. Basically a bit quicker but shorter version of Wiltjer. I thought missing on JBjr and getting Booker was a bad deal. I was totally wrong on all.
Devin is much more athletic than I ever imagined. Hell he's more athletic than Aaron or Andrew. As nice as that shot was, the stepback from the wing against Missouri was even prettier. It was the nicest shot so far this year. Wish there was a gif of it.
I think Devin will be back. As great as he is, he still doesn't have great NBA athleticism and mostly only scores. He's a good but not great defender. He hasn't rebounded much or gotten many assists, although with the players he has around him that isn't his role.
I think NBA teams will want to see how he does with a biggest load on his shoulders next year. Although that load might not be any different than it already is if Newman comes along with other possibilities and we have returnees.
Bottom line I expect him back. He didn't plan on being OAD, enjoys school, will want to continue playing with his BFF Tyler, has a dad would went through major college ball and such, and also just a few weeks back his dad even said there's no way Devin would leave after one year. Admittedly that was right before he went on this tear but I still think it rings true.

Just about everybody has been assuming he would be back, but I don't know. By year's end he may be Top 20 in the mock drafts.

His Dad having experience playing in the NBA will certainly help him make the
right decision. Melvin Booker played six years in the league and eleven years
overseas. The money is obviously going to be a big factor but being ready to
go is just as important. He is getting a lot better every game so I am worried he
leaves but I am just a selfish fan who wants to watch him drain threes for one
more year.
