We're very sorry for this mistake. The Free Press had prepared a fantastic book to publish should Michigan win the national title, and an error with our book publisher caused the promotion for the book to be displayed on Amazon. Our publisher is working with Amazon to make sure it gets removed. Hopefully at this time next year, however, we WILL be publishing either a book on Michigan or Michigan State winning the 2014 national title!

If you have any questions, feel free to email me and I'll get you to the right person: [email protected].

I'm not so sure it's crazy. Guys like McGary and Robinson are certainly not ready to be meaningful players in the NBA at this time. But neither was Mullens, Koufos, Cook, or for that matter, probably Conley. They all needed development, got drafted mainly on potential, and made a lot of money while bridging the gap between not-yet-ready potential, and serious contributor. Guys like McGary and Robinson are arguably in the same boat. I'm not sure there's anything crazy about NBA teams investing for the future on guys like that, or for the players to get themselves into that system.

Aren't ugly white guys at a premium in the NBA? Not trying to be cute here, (well a little) but that was a case often stated as little as ten-fifteen years ago. If that's no longer applicable, we've come a long way, Virginia Slim.

Burke and Hardaway wanted to come out last year.

If Robinson is a sure fire first rounder, he better leave now, because his mediocre defense and mediocre three point percentage will go from weaknesses to work on and change to a pattern that refutes his alleged potential. He is a three playing the four except he doesn't score very consistently outside of dunks. Six six wings are a dime a dozen and many have a lot more offensive polish and defense.

Hardaway has largely plateaued and doesn't have a prayer of raising his stock with spike albreight or a current high schooler running the point next to him.

McGary could return and play himself into a top ten pick. However, he is not lasting beyond twenty, if that far, if he declares. The kid is so talented yet still has so much room for growth. When he matures he will shift from being a beast to a monster. He blends lunch pail production with soft hands as a passer. Free throws are easy to practice.

Burke is obviously gone and should be.

McGary looked pretty meh on Monday when Burke sat for so long. I really don't know if his stock will be any higher than it is now without the best player in CBB setting up plays for him.

Burke looks meh for entire games. And by meh, u mean doesn't score a point for 75% of the contest . McGary was also in foul trouble.

I don't disagree that Burke makes him a better player, I just think that McGary can be special even on a weaker team. There is certainly a lot more open cleanup when Burke is slashing inside, though.

I keep seeing GRIII projected as a top 10 pick... I don't get it. He's athletic, has some marginal amount of skill, and has pedigree, but I don't know of one time where I watched Robinson and thought "man, he's going to be a great college player" much less a great pro.
