Ok, What has he done in the past 8 months to improve his chance of being drafted into a good situation? Seems like theres been a lot more hurt.
I don't think we can answer that until we see how the draft plays out. If he does really well in predraft workouts then it will seem like whatever his development plan has been paid off.
And when I say good situation there are a lot of variables that go in to that. Jerami was drafted later than some or he thought but into a good situation for him to develop and now is having a great career.
That's my point. Darius career will be impacted much more on who drafts him, their development plan for him, their roster construction, etc. than if he went to Syracuse for a season or if he chose the path he chose.
