re: Naz Reid is improving, however is Naz ready for one and done

He believes he's ready. I do not. But my belief is irrelevant. There is no next season in college basketball. Just the other day a buddy of mine was texting about "next year." I'm like, man, get that out of your mind. You want Elite 8, Final 4, maybe better, focus on 2019 the time is now! Forget next year. It could be better or worse who knows. We want the glory we grab the bull by the horns NOW. And that's just how this club is going about it.

I'll chime here too...

I agree with previous posts that NBA drafts on potential. That player will have a full time job to become a better basketball player. And getting paid straight dollar bills as well.

I tend to side on player (workers) over franchises (owners) even though I ran my own business for 10+ years.

That said, there are legitimate times as a worker to leverage your value. That would include showcasing talent an extra season in this case.

They broke up a month ago

He was dating a player on the WBB team. She wound up quitting the team and leaving school a few days after the breakup

Yep, NBA is all about potential.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with that assessment.

Baseball is a sport that is about potential and the ability to improve in lower class ball until fully developed. That is why there are so many draft rounds in baseball.

NBA teams get a limited number of draft picks and they expect those drafted to contribute right away.There are notable exceptions to that rule but it is by and large the way the NBA works.

#46 in the draft as of yesterday! Should play i more year & then jump! Don't know if he leaves this year?

He gone.
