Well I would speculate two things from this:
1. They expect this to be Joe's last year
2. They expect Bohannon to redshirt this season.
1. They expect this to be Joe's last year

Hmm. Is Joe really on any draft boards? I don't follow it so I'm legitimately asking.
Not sure about draft boards, but do know that the Celtics are very interested and following him closely this season. It was one of the teams he worked out for (along with the Thunder).
JW has the physical tools and has flashed some NBA upside. But, he’s not draftable..., yet. However, he’ll be upgraded from perhaps 4th to a main offensive option this year with Garza. So, maybe shelve the NBA talk until December to see how he performs in this tough preseason. He could or could not be NBA good. Don’t know.
