If you suggest to me that I should tell the thunder that I don't think it makes sense to draft guys based on potential than you must be making some sort of comparison with Ennis.   I actually have no idea what your point is quite frankly. I have no problem whatsoever with the concept of drafting on potential but where and when a player is taken must be based on some sort of common sense notion of just how great the potential is and how sure you are that it will be realized.   From this board someone mentioned he could be drafted anywhere between 9 and 14, someone else said 20 -25 range. With the infusion of international players to boot I have a hard time believing he is the 9th best prospect in this years draft, or the 14th for that matter. Back half of the first round sounds a bit more realistic to me.  As I said, I wish Ennis would stay and harbor no ill will for his decision, I just do not see a can't miss talent with him at the next level that would garner such a high draft position.   I will now call the thunder and tell them that as well for some reason only you seem to understand.
