Long time reader first time poster went to su from 03 to 07.   Anyway I think some of you need to be more realistic with dion.  Yes he is a good player, but to me talking him about a top 5 pick is pretty ridiculous.  He can get to the rim, but he has no jumper.  One only needs to take a look at how he did agAinst the best competition to see if he is ready or not .  He was terrible against Florida.  Those are the best guards we have seen all year. They kept dion out of the lane. Do you not think Connecticut, Marquette, and Louisville are not going to try to do the same.  Again I am not saying dion is not any good, but comparing him to the best guards in college the last 10 years is ridiculous.  Listen to boeheim, he has even said scouts really are not looking at many of our guys.  Dion would just be another guy in the nba who can get to the rim with no jump shot . Hes not a point guard.  Like the rest of our guards he has strengths and weaknesses.  Take a look at what Luke Winn from cnnsi said about dion.  While he is a good player, it can not go unnoticed that most of his production is coming against other teams second units. And before anyone calls me a scoop or bt apologist, I agree like most of you that he should be starting and he would have had scoop not come back.
