TJ Warren and Tyler Ennis Headed To The NBA...

Those charts are a great example of why it does not matter if you are "ready" for the nba, it pays to leave early before all the flaws in your game get exposed . Terrible for college basketball but the truth .

Potential > Production. And anyway the NBA will better prepare you for the NBA than CBB.
 
McAdoo likely cost himself $10M+ by not coming out as a frosh.
 
If he had come out after his freshman year the rookie scale for the #8 pick for the first 3 years would have been: $2.1, $2.2, $2.3... guaranteed.

At#55 he gets the minimum of $500k non-guaranteed.

Bad for the NBA too, which I think is why Silver is pushing for two years (which is bad for the players).
 
Montrezl Harrell returning to Louisville. Oh boy, that game against the Cards next year should be fun...naht.
 
Last year 78 players total declared early for the NBA. A shocking number given that there are only 64 draft spots. There were 46 US & 32 foreign kids that left early and we are not even talking about kids that have used up their eligibility and are seniors entering the draft. That is a lot of kids trying to play pro ball who aren't going to make it.

At the end of the day, though, most of the kids who were acting on good advice got drafted. It's the same story every year. Some of these guys are facing ineligibility if they return, some bank on their high school hype (or, rather, runners/agents inflate their high school hype), and every once in awhile there is a complete idiot, but a large majority of these guys are making sound financial decisions, IMO.

With a year-long NCAA suspension looming after testing positive for marijuana, Michigan Wolverines sophomore big man Mitch McGary declared for the NBA draft on Friday.

Individual schools have their own penalties for failed drug tests, but the NCAA has a rule in which a player is suspended for an entire year for failing a drug test administered by the organization.

That is ridiculously harsh.
 
We wouldn't have had a team in the 70s.

The same thing would have been true for UCLA in the 90s. It was kind of hard to be walking around in Westwood without seeing a red-eyed Jelani McCoy and a couple of teammates eating pizza or cookies and laughing.
 
What are they going to do with all their post players? Imagine if trades were allowed. KY sends a five star PF to someone for another guard and they are set.

Damn. So, McGary passes up on a sure fire top-20 draft selection, loses a season to injury, partakes in a substance that probably 50% of students try at least once and that will be legal recreationally in a handful of states in another year or so, and the NCAA suspends him for a year.

That ruling doesn't make an ounce of sense.

Not to get all ageist, but the baby boomers need to go. Retire already.

From what I've heard, Cal has already told Trey Lyles that he's going to learn to play the 3 this year as a backup behind Poythress, while sharing the 4 spot with Karl Towns. Willie Cauley Stein can switch 3-4-5 on defense, but he will still be mainly a 5. Dakari Johnson is really the only post player on the team who can't play multiple positions.
