I wasnt thrilled with how he answered the question about if he was transferring.
What are you talking about? What interview?

He did ok. No more three pointers for him though. Hasn't made one since december

Found the comments in today's DO. He just said he's focusing on next game and not next season.
I will be a bit surprised if he transfers. Position is his next year. A lot of other guys have threatened the same and stuck it out. Plus it makes him another year older as an NBA prospect.

He said it himself the tempo kicks up a couple notches when he is in, I think he will be fine once he gets the non con session under his belt next year, we need to run and I will be glad to see a couple mistakes vs walk it up half court that we resort to under Frank. The key to next year is in his hands, he can break down a defender and will have ample shooters to kick it to like he did last night with Eli. Personally I would rather have a high risk player like Scoop used to be, the offense needs it, half court Defences in this league are too good.
He definitely brings a change of pace and I agree, his last four mins or so were much better than his first few mins. the fact that he was up the court and then finished around the rim in an unsettled situation makes him a significantly different player than Frank, who hasn't really done that in four years (not a shot at Frank, just pointing out that they play very differently).

And it is not JB either, every time we get a rebound or steal you see JB urging our guys to run but Frank is not comfortable with that. One thing that urks me though is that if we do run we sometimes have everyone run to the 3 pt line. Need one if not two going hard to the basket to draw defenders at the very least and open it up for the trailers, very few go hard to the bucket anymore, MD does but rarely see that from OB. I will be dumbfounded if he transfers, one good hope is that Frank seems to be his mentor and he has lived where JC is right now.yeah. pushing tempo a bit and not allowing pitt to set up their defense was part of the reason we took off. frank has never pushed the ball in his entire career.
assuming he stays, and I think he will(just a gut feeling of course, what the hell do I know?), I think the trip to Italy this coming summer could be very helpful to his development more than anyone else on the roster.

That's the first I have heard of it: are we doing one of those international trips this summer? If so, that's awesome.
