Garza is not approaching Elite level by NBA standards. he's a good college player, but he's not leaving early for the NBA
If this was 15 years ago, Garza would have looked like a lock for the NBA at some point. Now, I'm not sure he makes it. Is there a current NBA player who is comparable to him?

Cook and moss will be playing in Europe. NBA is a tough ticket- maybe 2-3 big ten players make it yearly
Yep... from my quick count, there have been 7 NBA debuts from former B1G players this year so far, 8 plus Andrew White the year before, 10 the year before that.except of course this year where you had 8 B1G players drafted and I believe 4 are firmly on rosters and a couple others on 2 way contracts. I haven't gone back beyond last year to substantiate your claim that only 2-3 B1G players make it in the league annually, on the surface it sounds false.
Garza reminds me of a Gasol bro

Garza is more Athletic than most of you will admit. to the poster who said Garza can't block recheck your thoughts
Garza led the team in blocks and the only other FR in Iowa's history that had more was Aciec Earle the all time leader in Iowa's history.
if Garza plays in the NBA it will be as a 4 not a 5.
LOLI know Baer is our only senior, but other than Cook, who is going to leave early? Garza? Moss?
I really hope Garza stays but he is approaching elite level, my opinion.
The Joey Dubya comment was joke, btw.
When and if Cook goes, it will leave a huge hole to fill on this Hawkeye team and there is no one on the horizon that this staff is even looking at, to replace his skill set. Nunge and PMac doesn't even come close.
If Moss loses playing time to CMac, I can see him jumping ship and testing the waters oversees. Those 2 are the only ones that are likely to leave after this season that are not seniors.
We will see on Cook. Nunge has some good size. Moves well with the ball. And has a good outside shot... If he could put on a little more muscle and become consistent at the 3pt shot, then he will be one heck of a stretch 4.
Our spacing would be phenomenal with two bigs draining 3s. That would leave the middle wide open for anyone to drive.
I would not sell Jack short... Remember, last year he played almost the entire year out of position at the 3 spot... Redshirting is really going to do him well. As it will for the Hawks. Count on it!
Yeah, we'll start the best white team in America next year with Garza, Nunge or Kriener, Wieskamp, Bohannon, and McCaffrey.Nunge brings big things next year,... count on it.
Garza in the NBA is a big stretch unless he gets quicker, more athletic, and thicker. I think he will have a nice career over seas.
The NBA 5 is going to a 5 that is athletic enough to guard the perimeter and is good at switching aka Myles Turner or a 5 that is a rebounding and defensive specialist. Garza is neither unfortunately.
I agree on him needing to develop his already decent athleticism and speed (for a near 7 ft) I think we need to give credence to the work he has already put in on those areas however ( total transformation from his HS body) .. and I see room for it to continue. However, his stroke and his outside shot are game changing elements in very high demand at the 4/5 in the current NBA and will be the things that ultimately get him there in a year or two ( totally dependent on development).

There is no spot for a big that cant defend screens in the nba. There just isn't.
I disagree on your last part of your assessment. Only basketball I watch is a lot of the NBA and the Hawks. He has a nice stroke but if you can’t guard on the perimeter the chance of you getting in the league are very minimal unless like I said you are one of the 5s I listed in my previous post or I guess like a special player like Anthony Davis or Nikola Jokic. I hope he proves me wrong!
