Talk about cherry picking... for that list I can name 100 guys who haven't played a game in the NBA as second rounders. What's your point? Also, this has absolutely nothing to do with my wishes on him staying for the success of Syracuse basketball. I hope he makes it - I hope every Syracuse player makes it - but I'm being realistic and giving you the most likely outcome based on past history.

Yes, it CAN happen. Nobody said otherwise - at least not me. But the odds are stacked against him now. And he has no guaranteed NBA money, which gives the NBA teams the right to cut him at any time and not lose any sleep.

Does this mean he's going to be a failure? Absolutely not. But he didn't put himself in the best position he could by coming out this year. This was the deepest draft class in years - and everyone knew it, including Boeheim.

You can spin anything any way you want, but to make the argument that Grant made a good decision - or to even say we don't know if he did or not - based on what we knew at the time of his decision is crazy talk.

With all of the information he had following the college basketball season, his best decision was to stay.
