CBS: Royce to NBA

[Doc]

I think this is the right decision for Royce and hope he succeeds. Because of the extra year of earnings, I think you really need to move up high in the draft to make staying worth it.

 

[cyhiphopp]

Ok, for those of you that follow the NBA, which teams need a forward like Royce in the draft? I don't want RW to end up on a team that has a bunch of bigs in front of him and end up at the end of the bench like CB.

I'm not saying we had a bad year - far from it. It was a great year. It blows me a way, however, when people lose track what coaches are hired for. It's about wins for the school - not being the best farm team for the bigs.

It shouldn't blow you away because those two things go hand-in-hand in today's game. Look at the team that just blew us out of the NCAAs.

This would get the speculating over with.[/QUOTE Freddie did that earlier in the week!!

Last year only Kyrie Irving made $4M, Royce is never going to be a top five pick. The difference between the last pick in the first round and the 10th pick is less than a million. There's no way it makes financial sense to come back for another season, unless you just completely make up numbers like you did in your argument.

First round annual salaries range from $4.2M down to $850k. There is a $3.35M difference.

Wonder if TWolves could get Kevin Love and Royce on the court at the same time. They may trade Wesley Johnson then.

Boozer is one of the best power forwards in the NBA. Defense isn't the best but he's a great rebounder and can shoot inside the 3 point line.

Wow. That's a bold statement.

Reading comprehension is a lost art these days. Go reread my post and try again.

Please explain what you want Fred to do differently?

To be honest... Cleveland needs everything right now. They are still rebuilding/reloading from the whole LeBron thing.

 

[RayShimley]

Wow. That's a bold statement.

To be fair, you're the one that bolded it.

And then second-rounders get less than that, and it's not guaranteed. I'm just concerned that foreign players will bump him out of the late first and into the early second round. He was projected late first, with no overseas players projected, in the mock I saw where he was in the first round. Just seems pretty shaky if that's truly the case. But perhaps he's got more concrete evidence that says he will be a first rounder.

good luck to royce...just hope he doesn't regret his decision... he said on twitter he'll announce at 2:30 today

For some reason there are a lot of fans on here that think 1-and-done'ers and players leaving early aren't good for a program.

I guess they don't follow Kentucky, North Carolina, KU, etc.

You do realize that every player that CFH gets into the NBA helps with recruiting top talent to ISU, right? The potential boon to recruiting will end up being worth a LOT of wins.

There are a lot of people giving CFH credit for putting RW in a great position to blossom this year and showcase his talents. Kids like Pelle hear that and some of them might think it's a good idea to come to ISU and flourish rather than going to UNC and just be another 5 star lost in the shuffle.

RW with the help of CFH has done a TON for ISU basketball in just a short while. I think Hoiberg is just the coach to capitalize on that opportunity and use it to take the program forward.

 

[ISUCubswin]

How is saying Boozer is one of the best power forwards in the NBA a bold statement? I can't think of too many better than him.

No. Just, no.

Sure, if you don't quote him correctly.

I don't want Fred to do anything differently.
