DaddyBuiltRacing Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 He's gone, shouldn't come as a suprise to many. I don't think he is going to make a very good NBA player, not many 6'9 power forwards with no leaping ability in the league these days. He was a very good college player where you can get away with lack of height, itll catch up to him in the NBA. Stil a top 15 pick none the less. Best of luck to him regardless of what he chooses to do. Lets hope Deshaun Thomas doesn't declare as well or next years season is gonna be ugly for OSU Edit OSU has confirmed he is gone!

Sparky Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 He was adamant he would stay 4 years. He will have the same career his brother did. Looks like a bad move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 His brother was way more athletic and a better shooter lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Why blame him, his back is screwed up, a bulging disc is never going to "fix" itself, his body is falling apart already...Get the money now, smart life decision. Pop-A-Shot shouldn't leave unless he is a 1st rounder, which I do not see that. Although they don't play defense in the NBA so he would make it just fine.

I love people who do not realize the "marketing" strategy that the NBA and Stern have created, which is , score more, and more people watch, play less defense. This is not just my opinion it is generally widely known that is the case. Granted in the playoffs they play "slightly better" defense. The NBA is built around scoring points and as many as possible.

bicranium Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 League scoring average has hovered between 95-100 since the mid-90's. Most recent statistic I could find for this season had scoring at 94.7 per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another year in college may have improved his draft stock, maybe. On the flip side, he could get hurt and he would be allowing the analysts to critique him more.

AWW$HEEET Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 another year from freshman to soph killed his stock. i think he probably wants to stop the bleeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 another year from freshman to soph killed his stock. i think he probably wants to stop the bleeding. Probably correct with this assessment. Everyone assumed he would be spectacular this year. Add to that the injuries, and I just don't see him being a huge draft prospect. What do the scouts see in him? There's no way he can play the power game that he does now, in the nba. I still think he's playing the wrong sport. Should have been a tight end if you ask me. 50 percent of his weight is between his knees and waist--definitely not the anatomy of a basketball player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99BlownYellowGT Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Although i think he will struggle in the NBA i think many people fail to look that as a Freshman he played PF and this year he was playing center. So who knows how he will matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 The only person I can think of that is a similar build and taht is just based on height really that plays the PF position is Carlos Boozer. Even then thats a stretch as Boozer is jacked and Sully is not, we'll see how he does though I guess. Hopefully he doesnt join the list of recent Buckeyes to leave and not do shit in the NBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
