Jahlil Okafor thinks Jabari Parker will return for his sophomore year.

Sort of, anyway: in this Duke Blue Planet clip, he says he's "looking forward" to playing with Parker next season.

Not that Parker has announced a decision either way.

But he did call into a radio station for an interview and said this:

"I’m undecided right now. I just want to find the situation that makes me grow the most and I’ve had a lot of fun here at Duke so I don’t want to leave anything behind before I make my decision...[I] learned so much, Coach was part of the Academy at Westpoint and he uses the same tactics he learned in college. I’m just learning how to be a man…….how to prepare for practices."

Time will tell, but if he does decide to return and Cleveland is in fact tanking for him, the team is going to feel pretty stupid if he comes back.
