I'm also sure that NBA teams really love drafting 22 year olds in the 1st round. Dudes cashing checks for $2.88 million over the next 2 years instead with options of $1.83 and $3.19 for year 3 and 4. I think all of the rational folks on this board can agree that under pretty much no circumstance is there any possible way he would've turned into a lottery pick as a 22 year old Jr in the draft, nor would he improve his NBA skills more by playing at Syracuse this year than he will with the Nuggets either in the NBA or the G League. So with those 2 things being more or less fact, then he made a helluva decision to leave. [/QUOTE]
