Timme has another year of eligibility, and Holmgren has three

I know there's been a lot of talk about Holmgren being a top-3 NBA pick, but I think he's getting exposed in this tourney. Dude is 7'1", 195 lbs, and highly posterize-able. He is reportedly being coy about his NBA plans now, but earlier I believe it was widely assumed that he would go for the draft. I mean, he's an outstanding player at this level and would probably still be a 1st-rounder, but with a bit more bulk he might actually be that top-3 pick.

Timme has probably gone about as far as he can in college except that he could be a bit stronger to go with all that great footwork and instinct around the hoop if he wants to succeed at the next level. He's also making pretty good coin now that college athletes are finally allowed to make paid endorsements, and reportedly loves the BMOC life.

I can see both guys returning to Gonzaga next season, especially if Gonzaga doesn't win this time (again).
