Right on the edge means off the edge...Like DZ and others have stated, the end of the draft becomes about player control, especially overseas guys that can be stashed while developing against pros.
Lack of workouts really hinders KW, but he seems set on going. Hope he lands somewhere and makes a little money.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
SHOULD THEY STAY OR SHOULD THEY GO? Just so we're clear, there is no mystery here. Kaleb Wesson and Alonzo Gaffney are absolutely gone and CJ Walker is absolutely coming back to Ohio State.
There are no decisions to sway, but that doesn't make NBA Scouts assessments any less interesting, and after talking to said scouts, Jeff Goodman has both Wesson and Gaffney squarely in the "They Say They’re Ready, But Leaving School Would Be a Mistake" category.
Kaleb Wesson, 6-9, 270, PF, Jr., Ohio State | “Mid to late second or undrafted. His body improved last year. Go back and get even better at guarding more athletic guys and also shooting from the perimeter.” – NBA executive
There's a solid chance neither of these players ever make it in the NBA, but hey, playing overseas is lucrative as hell compared to what the average person does with their lives. And you could always win a couple hundred thousand on the side during the summer, like Carmen's Crew.
I'll never hate on a guy for deciding getting paid six figures to play basketball in Italy is better than another year of walking to class in the snow for free.

Rookie Wire has Kaleb Wesson ranked No. 68 in latest 2020 NBA Draft Big Board
Former Ohio State big man Kaleb Wesson is no doubt getting ready to try and sway the NBA types these days. He has supposedly gone all in with the NBA draft and is looking to make that next move in his career.
The projections for Wesson have not been all that kind, however. He is far from a lock to be drafted according to most mock NBA draft projections and it’s going to likely be a long road to try and carve out a niche on an active NBA squad.
The Rookie Wire just released its most recent top 100 NBA big board rankings, and you have to go pretty far down to see his name appear. According to Bryan Kalbrosky, he has Wesson as the No. 68 overall prospect on his list.
That’s not exactly a ringing endorsement, especially when workouts and interviews that could change NBA scouts and executives’ minds could be challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Too soon old, too late smart
I for one am happy to see Kaleb get his chance. He's listened to the pros, done everything that they've suggested, filled the holes in his game, and worked his a** off to reach his NBA goal. Sorry he's leaving with eligibility left, but college is designed to help students earn a living. Hope he comes out guns a blazing during the try-outs. Go Bucks!
