What I don't get here, is most of you here profess to hate the NBA, don't watch it, yet become experts when it comes to predicting success for Syracuse kids that leave early.  Flynn was drafted into a tough spot and had a lot of trouble staying healthy and personally I don't think a year will make that much difference as the NBA is willing to give at least 2-3 years for these younger guys. You can't argue with where he was drafted, right choice same with MCW and Waiters.  Green is the only one that made a mistake, IMO.  Waiters big year is next year but he has obviously shown flashes of brilliance, still needs maturity.  My opinion only, but I think for the most part those that make it in the NBA will pretty much make it regardless of when they enter.  Take Paul Harris, many were saying he was NBA ready out of 13th grade, he was 21 or something when he came to Syracuse, the fact is he was never making the NBA regardless.  If he went out of high school, people would still be clamoring about how he should have went to college for 2 years!!! For what, so he could never be drafted??

Lets wait and see where Ennis goes and give him 2-3 years and see what happens.  The issue is, he can play his way into being productive in the NBA, he will have time.  Personally, I think all of these kids should leave if they are a top 10-12 pick. No questions asked
