yea.. this is pure lip service. Kinda like when Lebron was checking out schools. When your the easy #1 pick and barring you arent killed before the draft a lock for top 3 you go.

If he needed one more year to graduate etc then hmmmm... maybe. Not the case. He's in the draft.

this would be the dumbest move a player could make.

when you are near #1 you don't stay in school.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

Yeah, Marcus Smart cost himself a few million dollars by staying an extra year. OK4 would be costing himself more since he's pretty much the consensus #1. That said, I don't think any extra year in college would hurt his game. It would only develop it more.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

Yea but it makes it harder for us to land Towns or Russell.

They said the same thing about Jabari Parker. I wouldn't put a ton of stock in this.

I think Duncan was like 20 or just 21 when he graduated. He got to college young.
His mother died when he was 14 and she made him promise he'd graduate college.

Oka4 is happy in college as was Parker which is a testimate to coach K.
when all is said and done these guys have been grooming themselves to be a pro and the calling is strong.
