Flynn, MCW and Waiters were lottery picks. Flynn was ready to play in the NBA - he averaged 13.5 ppg and 4.4 apg as a rookie before getting hurt. Waiters was our best offensive player and has/had a tremendous amount of ability that anyone could see. And MCW led us to the Final Four and, while not having a great outside shot, has/had the passing ability and size to be an elite NBA PG.

Wesley Johnson was smart to go - he had a great year as a junior and even though he couldn't and still can't dribble more than twice in succession, he has carved out a niche in the NBA after being guaranteed his first contract.

Grant was never the featured player on a Syracuse team - he was at best our third option last year (Fair, Ennis) and has no defining skill other than athleticism - which is great at the college level but everyone has it in the NBA. He has some tools that I think need refining - but it's going to be exponentially harder to refine those in the NBA, IMO, as a second round pick than it would be as a first rounder.
