This is a guest post from Joe Genovese (@2PalsTlknSports). Be sure to follow him.
In his junior season, Kim English had a poor season. He averaged just 10 points a game, on 36% shooting; He wasn’t thriving in then Mizzou head coach Mike Anderson’s system, but, despite his poor season, English put his name into the hat for the 2011 NBA Draft. We often hear of college players declaring for the draft early, usually to make some cash, but in this case, English actually withdrew his name and returned to Missouri to have a stellar senior season under new head coach Frank Haith.
