Ok we have talked about this in almost 1/2 the threads and it is a conversation that will be top on everyone's list for the next few months and probably gain momentum as soon as the season ends sometime in April,
Will Larry stay or go? As of right now the scouts are saying the same thing we are, he needs to improve on most facets of his game, but his size and wing span make him unique/elite and probably a lottery pick due to his upside.
Here's an article from one of the NBA scouts that comes to VCU games to watch Larry play. So his opinion counts and his article is dead on, IMO.

While Sanders has improved remarkably during his time at Virginia Commonwealth, he still has a long way to go before achieving his considerable potential. In the NBA, his lack of strength and fundamentals will certainly hold him back, and scouts will be monitoring his ability to improve in these areas. That said, 6’10 players with his length, athleticism, shot blocking abilities, and developing offensive skill sets are extremely rare, and usually get strong looks in the lottery. Sanders must assert himself in the CAA as the season moves on, and in the process show NBA scouts that he has what it takes to contribute sooner than later in the NBA.
