Make the magic happen, young man!

 

[Orangefan1]

Good for him

 

[Trueblue25]

a great Orangemen

 

[Orangefan1]

The only regret is he looked like he was about to explode during the ACC Tournament this year even with one game and his career abruptly ended without him putting his final touch on it

 

[HOFCeluck]

Not surprised . Best of luck!

 

[SUskibum]

Probably single handedly kept our winning season streak alive.

Go eat young man. We have yet to see the best of you!

 

[jgeorge322]

[sutomcat]

He did all that we could reasonably expect for our basketball program. Thanks Elijah. Good luck in the pros!

 

[Giants1973]

hope he does, think hes worth it, but thats far from a certainty as things stand

He's going to be 23 next season. It made no sense to come back.

He's going to be 23 next season. It made no sense to come back.

He's 22 and a month, so he'll be less than 23 most of next season.

He's 22 and a month, so he'll be less than 23 most of next season.

The point is that his age can be used against him.

Who even knows if there will be a draft. I hope so but who knows.

Did you know there is an NFL draft starting tomorrow? Why in heavens name wouldn’t there be an NBA draft in June?

I believe that he's a better fit for the modern NBA than the likes of Malichi, Battle, etc.

Wouldn't be remotely surprised to see him carve out a lengthy, successful career in the bigs.

 

[RF2044]

Who even knows if there will be a draft. I hope so but who knows.

Given that there will be an NFL draft tomorrow, I think we can all expect with near certainty that there will be an NBA draft later this year.

Because they're still contemplating a late (summer) finish to the season and playoffs. Why rush a draft when your season doesn't normally start for 6 months and may start later this year?

Edit: At first I didn't read the post you responded to. I would think there will be one, just not in June.

 

[Briancuse]

Because the.nfl is the NFL. Plus they had a combine. How is the nba going to have a draft without a combine or workouts?

The NFL had their combine how is the nba reasonably going to have a draft without a combine or getting the chance to work these kids out?

100% there will be an NBA draft.
They are going to start back up in June as a league.

The next full season isn’t going to restart till December after this season ends.
The draft will occur a week before whenever NBA free agency occurs.
The NBA will have free agency thus they will have a draft.

Because a combine is far less important in football than it is for basketball -- c'mon.
