There’s one massive decision lingering around Tennessee basketball ahead of what could be another special season. That decision is set to be made by Yves Pons, who is currently testing the NBA Draft waters. The defensive standout has all the athletic ability in the world, though he’s still developing his offensive game. That last fact might be what keeps him in school for his senior season.
ESPN knows how big of a decision this is. Jeff Borzello ranked Pons’ decision as the 14th most important in all of college basketball. If he does return, Borzello says Tennessee is a top ten team for next season.
