FAYETTEVILLE — Three weeks ago, it appeared Arkansas' 2020-21 basketball roster was set following shooting guard Isaiah Joe's announcement that he would return to school for his junior year.
On Monday, the Fort Smith native changed course, re-entering this year's NBA Draft. He indicated his decision was influenced by college conferences recently calling off seasons in major sports because of covid-19.
Earlier this month, I attempted to project the Razorbacks' rotation with Joe in the fold, breaking down roles into four tiers – star, potential starter/key rotation player, bench contributor, spot minutes. With Joe now pursuing a pro career, this needs to be revisited.
