Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart will return for his sophomore season, sources tell Y! Sports. He could've been a top 5 pick in NBA Draft.

Well shite


I don't think we'd have drafted him anyway, but that opens up the chances for Burke to go before we get to pick

He should be kicked out of school for being that stupid. Doesn't he know what next years class looks like?

I know right?

He had potential to be the #1 pick and was a top 3 lock

He'll barely be top 5 next year

Yeah pretty dumb considering he was a top 3 lock. Though I do think it will be good for him game in the long run. Physically he is there but he needs to refine a few things. Probably still a top 5 guy, especially if he leads OKst on a run.

Really?? Not a dumb move on his part at all. All of these so called lottery picks in this draft could benefit from returning. Hes the only 1 that decided to and while he may not be a top 5 lock next year, it will def help his game and imo benefit him in the long run. And he still will be a top 10 guy.

Def hurts our pick though.

For the Burke lovers, yes the odds of Pelicans drafting him just went up. From 0% to 2%. Reality is that its Porter, Oladipo, or trade now

"He won't go as high next year. He's an idiot!" So untrue. You get paid in NBA on your 2nd and 3rd contracts, not your first.

He might lose 2-3 million on his 1st contract by going a few spots lower, but if he is a better player because of it, he will make WAY more



I love how this pompous know-nothing loves to pass off his opinions as fact.


Never forget

Passing up guaranteed millions and risking career ending injury while playing for free is dumb as shite.

McNamara sucks so bad. Dude is so clueless. I wish he'd sign up here to defend his baseless opinions
