So far Kansas' Wright and possibly Durant by the middle of the week. Ellington says he'll stay along with Lawson and Hansbrough. Who's heading out and who's staying?

why do people keep talking about ellington?

"omg fergie says he's staying for another season"

4/10/2007 11:00:04 AM

I thought this thread was about me leaving work early yesterday

4/10/2007 11:04:43 AM

If Fergie feels leaving early is the best thing for him, I have no problem with that.

He has NBA projectability. Obviously he wasn't going to go but he'd probably be a 2nd round pick if he did based on that... Comparing him to Ferguson is just dumb..

^^ and yeah.. he'd get more PT in Europe than he would here..

V I agree with you, but he is projected to vastly improve. The way the NBA drafts is infuriating. Fucking Hasheem Thabeet would be a Top 10 pick if he left this year and the guy trips all over himself up and down the court and has literally NO offensive game... I worried about Costner getting bad advice too...

he's skinny. below avg sg height, not a great shooter, not a great driver, terrible defender. i don't see him in the nba. He obviously could have gone out of high school and been a bust because he was an insane scorer being compared to barbosa.

Fells = Ellington X 5
Proof: UNC vs NCSU at RBC Center this season

4/10/2007 11:32:40 AM

a better comparison would be ellington=furgie that gets more shots.

in half the minutes furgie has half the stats and they shoot about the same fg% with furgs 3 being a little better and waynes 2 being a little better. one was also on unc and got alot of fast break, 2nd chance easy opportunities.

4/10/2007 11:41:31 AM

Dallas Morning News is saying Durant's going...according to "unnamed sources."

4/10/2007 12:40:29 PM

kevin durant is going pro? what about greg oden? i can't imagine both of them would leave.

4/10/2007 12:49:26 PM

Just linking an article dickface

4/10/2007 12:50:08 PM

wasnt there an article around here somewhere from espn saying brandan wright was declaring?

4/10/2007 12:51:27 PM

when i got to class this morning i saw a technician turned over and folded in half and saw that pic of costner. made me think he declared.

4/10/2007 1:45:58 PM

oden will be staying. watch.

4/10/2007 1:46:45 PM

nike $$$ wont let him stay

4/10/2007 1:48:17 PM

Durant is going to get all the Nike money this year.

That might keep Oden in school.

4/10/2007 1:49:59 PM

but weebok and adidas have money as well

"Lawson's announcement was notable for its comic timing -- it came during his acceptance speech after he was honored for leading the team in assists. "After thinking about things, talking to my parents, I think it would be best if I took my skills to the NBA. I'm sorry," Lawson said. That drew Dead silence from the crowd of about 1,000. "I'm just playing -- I'll be back next year," Lawson said to cheers and applause."

Damn, both Lawson and Hansblow staying

4/10/2007 10:38:15 PM

^But Lawson hasn't been going to class and got a new pimped out ride.

4/10/2007 10:46:31 PM

4/11/2007 3:22:45 AM

^^I personally wouldn't leave, but you can't really fault people too much when it started at 9:30pm and the damn game lasted forever. The last ten minutes dragged on for over an hour by itself.

4/11/2007 9:05:40 AM

lol what he said ^, some people got there hours before to stand and wait, i personally stayed. But I didn't blame the old farts.

4/11/2007 9:17:07 AM

Afflalo announced he's going to the NBA.

I'm not guilty, but that game was painful to watch thanks to the refs. If I had to get up to work the next day I may have left too.

Yeah , if you were at the game in Reynolds then you know how shitty the reffing was to enlongate that game. It was over with 5:00 left pretty much and it lasted another 45 minutes because of technicals and a bunch of other bullshit. It was a friday night and already like 11:30 when that game ended, so isnt it understandable that ppl left early to get that midnite bar/club/nooky goin on? geez...

4/23/2007 2:25:02 PM

it wont be official for another 20 minutes but Wright is obviously gone

4/23/2007 3:45:51 PM

4/23/2007 4:25:19 PM

I would say that Wright gave us the biggest problems against UNC this year, so him being gone now should play out well for us.....obviously

4/23/2007 11:02:14 PM

^ no kidding. Wright was just a huge mismatch for us. With him gone we won't have to hang on for dear life against UNC next year.

If only Lawson had gone pro too I think we'd be on about the same level as Carolina.
