To us, yes, but to a kid who only plans to stay 1 or 2 years it is not. He has one shot to get this right. He has two goals: get drafted and play in the NCAA tournament (mainly in service of goal #1). If he selects wrong, and his school misses the NCAA Tournament 1 or 2 of his years, that is a major missed opportunity for him. So I understand him being concerned about it. That said, even UK missed the tournament a couple years ago. And picking a school where there is gobs of playing time is sort of at odds with this desire to have bulletproof NCAA tourney access, because the very fact of having those minutes available means a team has lost a lot. We are a perfect example. If we had the roster we'd normally have, we'd be a lock for the tourney but also not necessarily have all the PT he wants. It's a big decision for him, we'll see what he does. If I am playing the percentages, I think Syracuse is a pretty safe bet among schools who are willing to give monster minutes.
