Gotta show he can be the alpha on a great team! Because that’s what the NBA will expect!!

One more year one more year one more year

He's 22 and might lead the ACC is scoring. He's got nothing left to prove.

Debating whether Eli leaves early is like debating whether it will snow in Upstate in the winter

Exactly. Legit talk of him leaving last year. No brainer on his part

And just how do you know that it is going to snow in upstate new york next winter?

Semantics, but I don' t think he is leaving early. He is just leaving with eligibility left.

Great for him.

Agree 100% -- his game is tailor made for 3 and D NBA play. He's a good shooter with range to NBA three point line, he's got a nice handle and a refined ability to make plays for himself and others off the bounce, he's unselfisy -- which means he can fit into any offensive concept without having to dominate the ball, he's athletic, and he has the tools to be a plus defender. Much better skill set for the NBA than Battle, for comparison.

No no no

So, for those of us who don't watch, follow, or care about the NBA, what is the "the direction the NBA is going" that Elijah fits so well? Thanks.

Near full-court threes are the new market inefficiency.

That's what I was going to say. You are not leaving college early if you have your degree.

He’s tremendous value in the second round. I think be eventually works his way up into late first or early second. If he goes late second someone got a steal.

He could have left after a year at Eastern Carolina - he’s now an NBA prospect after his junior year! Isn’t that a good thing?

 

[Gabjon]

Anyone who saw him slip during the FSU game you should realize he has to go...my heart skipped a beat...glad he is ok and hope he stays healthy for rest of the year.

Then I want him to make some money in the NBA and be a great representative of Syracuse University.

Appreciate everyone’s opinion but I’m waiting on Briancuse take.
