Message: [QUOTE="orangehomer, post: 1168147, member: 151"] i never said that I had a strong opinion one way or another on whether ennis left or not. all I said is that I'm not sure the nba cares about young guards as much as young big guys. I think a group might give a young guard time to develop when they have freak athleticism, like john wall. ennis is not john wall, he is way more john Stockton. you guys act like all that matters is the first contract. to me what matters is the second contract and beyond. I don't know what the track record is for first rounders that go to the d-league. but im going to go out on a limb and guess that it aint good. napier played his way into the first round as senior. I also disagree with the premise that ennis stock would have automatically gone down had he returned. mel brooks says "or you got it, or you ain't". I just think that young guards are better off in the eyes of the nba as productive, than as projects. [/QUOTE]
