Wow. I feel bad every time I see him still sitting there. I guess not too bad since he is sitting in the green room of the NBA draft, but I am sure he thought he would be gone by now. He could have benefitted by doing a PJ and coming back to improve one more year.

Heading to the San Antonio Spurs. He's a first rounder so he's got a guaranteed contract! He's got some growing to do, but I think with maturity he'll be fine!

Yep! He was just too inconsistent last year to cause someone to take that leap of faith too soon. Glad he got the guarantee before the round ended. Note on the side, do you think Richards or Montgomery could have been ahead of him in the selections? I think not. They made wise decisions to return.

Bama, I agree both Richards and Montgomery will benefit with another year at UK.

He ended up in the perfect spot. He will thrive in San Antonio. I will not be surprised if he is not starting for them the second half of the season. He is going to play for the best organization and coach in the NBA and on a championship contender.

Just my opinion, but the two biggest mistakes GM's made in the draft were not taking Little and Keldon much earlier.

Trey, I never thought Keldon was ready for the NBA. He really didn't do much for me other than a few massive dunks. But what do I know...he could be an NBA star. [Wink]

I think Keldon would have benefited from another year. He could have come back and improved his shooting and ballhandling, and been a lottery pick next year. Glad he did go in the first round and to a great organization. Hope they all have great careers.
