What does everyone think here on Dekker staying one more year? I've spent some time today gathering some data on mock drafts and he was a late first round pick before the tourney in the 20-31 range. He's now being shown in the late teen's after a stellar start to the tourney. I think he could stay another year and possibly get into the lotto range which he will make ALOT more money. Only risk is injury or having a really bad year which I do not think he would have. I think next year's draft won't be as strong as this years.

pro's-

He could win a championship in 2016 hopefully a second championship for him ;)
I would think he's a year away from graduating so he would get a degree.
increasing value in draft.
Getting one more year of being the star at UW has it's perks rather than being the rookie in the league.

Con's-

Passing on millions next year to stay in school.
possible injury to ruin NBA career.

IF Dekker stays I think Wisconsin is a top 10 team assuming no one else leaves which I don't think Dekker stays while Hayes would leave per say.
