Michigan State Basketball: 3 players who could leave early after 2020-21 season

This one was the most obvious and I almost didn’t include Aaron Henry on this list because I feel like it’s a given. Despite the fact that he’s still technically in the 2020 NBA Draft pool, there’s a good chance he’ll be back and if he does return for his junior year, there’s about a 99.9 percent chance he declares for and stays in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Sure, there’s always the chance Henry could decide that finishing up his four years is worth it and stay for one final season but it doesn’t look likely.

Henry had a decent sophomore season but his inconsistencies were still prevalent. He had games where he took over completely and scored in any and every way, but then there were others where he would dribble the ball off his leg any time he tried to drive and couldn’t hit water if he fell out of a boat.

Tom Izzo expects a lot from Henry and that coach-player battle has been raging on for a couple of years now and that likely won’t change. Izzo expects a lot because Henry can be that good.

If he does go pro after his junior season, he’ll be quite the success story if he’s drafted as a former three-star prospect.
