Until now I didn't know that they made chartreuse from maize.

With Burke already declaring, I wonder what is taking Robinson, Hardaway, and McGary so long to say of their going or staying.

I seem to remember it took a lot longer than I thought it would for Conley and Oden (and Cook) to decide. Of course, I was far more interested in their decision than I am in some guys at Meatchicken.

I believe they are waiting on some assessments to be returned in regards to projected draft position.

Here, I'll save them the trouble. All three of you shits will get drafted higher this year than next year when Calipari's entire seven player freshman class goes into the draft.

Now get on with it.

not to mention wiggins, jabari parker, and whichever of the 5* point guards blow up as well.

if any of these clowns get a 1st round grade this year, they should bolt.

Particularly Hardaway and probably GRIII. McGary if he's being told is a late 1st I'd stay, but if he's a mid-first after the tourney run he better bolt.

Robinson should leave--scouts are, for some reason, buzzing about his athleticism and overlooking his obvious flaws, such as being able to score more than 5 feet from the basket. His weaknesses will be magnified after another year in the Big Ten in which he's relied upon to carry more of a burden on the offensive end.

McGary should leave too, if he's projected mid-first round. He seems to be the hot name right now, so I think he will project in the mid-first round. If he's late first round, I'd stay if I were him, because I think he can eventually improve his stock to the point where he could be a #10-15 pick overall (if he's not this year, which I think he could be).

And all of this doesn't even take into account the fact that this year's draft is weak, which is more reason for this two to go.

Hardaway is what he is. No matter when he leaves, I think he tops out at a mid-second rounder. But then again, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go late in the second or not be drafted at all. In any event, he seems like a guy who will be playing in Europe in a year or two--he doesn't have the outside shot or defensive skills to play the 2 in the NBA. He could come back for his senior year, but I'm not sure why he would--that team has no chance of making a deep run in the NCAAs without Burke.

If you look at a mock draft which includes these guys, they are all going in the first round. There is a mock in the Cavaliers thread that has all of them going no later than #20.

Here is the link http://www.nbadraft.net/2013mock_draft and my error Hardaway goes #28

If all four left early, they would lose 68.14% of their scoring from last year. I haven't crunched numbers for other teams, but I would assume that's right up there for the biggest loss. Not saying that I'm upset about it though... :biggrin:

Edit: Valpo, who started 5 seniors, would lose 76.4% of their scoring. So needless to say, UM could lose a lot.
Ohio State loses 35.9%
Louisville loses 49.4%

Funny thing is, I can easily see Hardaway being the best NBA player of the bunch. And I could also see McGAry being a much better NBA player than Cody Zeller. But what do I know? :biggrin:

the only thing about that is when Zeller would be fouled you would be guarantee one or two points with McGary you might end up with zero:)

Yeah, but neither one of those guys will get a foul call until they have been in the league 10 years, so its a wash. :tongue2:

Btw, when people say this draft is weak, know that some scouts view this as the worst draft pool of talent in 10-15 years.

You needed a scout to tell you that? :tongue2:

No, seriously, I can't remember a weaker draft. It's not getting much better either. Talent wise, this was by far the worst McDonald's AA game I've attended in the last ten years.
