He is an interesting prospect, but you're right he doesn't really have any business being in the league yet. Another year or so and he should be ready.

Re: 2008 NBA Draft Early Entries
We're already starting to see guys with 1st round talent who I didn't think would declare (Anderson, Green, Speights) throw their names in. This could be a ridiculously deep draft with some really good players in the second round. Guys like Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers would be well advised to wait a year.

Re: 2008 NBA Draft Early Entries
23 year old Brandon Rush, wait a year? For what?

Re: 2008 NBA Draft Early Entries
To be a first round pick? This isn't a good year for borderline guys. Maybe not Rush though, I guess he's been injured and needs to come out now.

Greene is awful as well. Dude has talent but he is an awful team player, and hangs around the perimeter too much. Dude is going to get abused in the league.

He had a good tourney so maybe that turns him into a first round lock. no point in staying

plus this years draft is so deep he'd be late lottery at best.....might as well wait a year and move up for more money......the style he plays, he'll never get injured anyway...devendorf and rautins coming back would help make him look better too.....

Re: 2008 NBA Draft Early Entries
What reason would Donte Green stay in school? To continue learning from the Syracuse coaches? Did you guys watch them play? He won't learn crap with another year playing the 2-3 zone.

to raise his draft stock....if he doesnt have anything to learn why is he gonna be a mid to late first rounder??....it aint even about learning, it's about him getting the balls to stop hanging around the perimeter.....he doesnt even have to learn, all he has to do is listen.......right now he's basically an even softer version of tim thomas.

Listen to who? Why can't he learn everything you advocate in the pros? Heck, I wager some players improve more the summer they are drafted than in some college programs period. I mean, what has the Cuse done for Paul Harris' development? Has his draft stock improved?
