Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 2137908, member: 1674"] I personally hate the fact that this kid is going to what I think will be a terrible team even with him next year. Having said that, I find it kind of funny that in college basketball, we give a kid crap for choosing a school where he'll have to work harder to win, and on the flipside, if an NBA player signs somewhere to win, we give them for taking the easy way out. I think Porter's situation is different because he's not really going somewhere that's harder to win IMO; he's going somewhere with no chance of winning regardless of how hard he works. But everyone has different priorities. I can't hate on the kid for wanting to stay close to his family/return home to Missouri for one more year before he begins his NBA career. I personally could never imagine having my choice of any school in the country and choosing one where I'll almost certainly lose a ton, but to each their own. [/QUOTE]
