Smart move by these 2 young men. First off, Ill never bash a kid or say a kid made the wrong decision by returning to school.

And, I really dont know how the Harrison twins will do in the NBA. They arent that great of athletes, compared to NBA guards. They dont blow by people and arent the fastest / quickest guys out there, and arent that explosive. And they arent that good of shooters. Yea Aaron Harrison made some big shots in the tourney, but that doesnt mean they are good shooters.

They are effective in college due to their size. There arent that many 6'5 PGs in college basketball. They can bully around majority of college guards. But, you saw what happened when they played vs UConn. Napier and Boatright dominated them on both sides of the court. They were so much more quicker then the Harrison twins and it showed. That game exposed the flaws in the Harrison twins game. They dont have good lateral quickness and arent good defenders. And in the NBA, every PG is extremely quick and explosive.

Smart move to return. They need to get better at just about everything. Look at their teammateJames Young. Pretty much the same size and same %s as Aaron Harrison. But, hes a top 15 pick in the draft. Even though his FG%s are similar, hes a much better shooter and has a pure stroke. And his athleticism is off the charts. Hes extremely explosive. Ive said all year he will be the 2nd best NBA player from this team, behind JR. And he could actually end up being better than JR.

I was with you till the last sentence, but a very intelligent and well spoken post.

Thanks

And I only said James Young could become a better pro player. Didnt say he will be. Im a big JR fan and love how hard he plays and how physical he plays. But there are a few things that kinda worry me about Randle. He wont be able to bully everyone in the NBA like he did in college. And sure, you can say "well Randolph does and they are comparable". And I agree to some extent. ZBo is also a really good mid range shooter. Randle has great athleticism and skill and def should be able to develop a mid range game. Just havent seen it from him and just kinda makes me wonder a little. Still gonna be a great player though.

And I just think James Youngs overall game translates extremely well to the NBA. He is good at just about everything and I dont think he has a real definite weakness. And he has a lot of talent, potential, and athleticism to get a lot better. His %s werent that great, but he has a great shot and is a much better shooter than his college stats show.
