The need to cut on other entities that have little to do with Cyclone nation.

Yes, the first example I can think of is the Big Ten. :mask:

Actually, the need to cut on anything. Just let things be if they don't affect you.

Look at the games he puts up 30+ points. The NBA scouts are going to watch his games against Iowa and the big 12. He needs to add some strength so he can get his butt on the blocks and score in the posts more. He has the range for the NBA, but everyone is his size in the NBA and he needs to work on his inside game before moving on.

One or maybe two more years before he is a top 15 pick. Now he is probably a 2nd rounder.

Pretty sure he would be a mid/low first rounder if the draft was today. However, he is not ready to contribute at the NBA level right now. The question should be does he stay and develop at the collegiate level or in the NBA and get paid? First round money is guaranteed in the NBA. That would be for him to decide and everyone else to discuss.

My biggest pet peave are the people on here who think they are better than everyone because they hold there emotions in check after a huge loss.
Sports are about Emotion. Win or lose you should show your emotion. If you say fire a coach. You are showing emotion. You are showing you want better for our team. I never say fire a coach for the record.
If you have no emotion when we lose then you should lose your sports card. Losing sucks.

Oh yeah Fire the Packers coach. That guys sucks.

Why do you think this?

I think he is ready for the NBA right now although I doubt he goes after this year.

There have been far worse players than him that have been lottery picks the last 5 years. He is tall and athletic. He has a good jumper, his mid-range game is improving.

Right now Craig is being projected as a late 2nd round draft pick in 2010. That's two years of developing to get him ready to be a late second round pick. He has the potential to be a 1st round draft pick at that time. He is athletic, no doubt. But scouts aren't going to base their draft picks on games against UNI and Houston. He will need a full season of quality games to prove he is able to do that. His other option is to play on a NCAA Tournament team where he can showcase his abilities to everyone. NBA Scouts love players who are winners.

Craig Brackins is a great player. If he only scores 10 points next game, he is still a great player. But I guarantee you there will be people posting how he is not even close to being ready for the NBA after the first game he struggles. Nevermind that the guy is putting up 19 and 8 right now.

No, Craig is not ready for the NBA. Why? He just isn't...:smile:

People who post something on the 8th page that has been stated by multiple posters when the topic first arises. Does this person seriously need to reiterate a point and nothing more? It just annoys the hell out of me. Also, people who add nothing to the original topic. If you don't have anything to say about the topic, no need to post.

I hate it when people post something that's already been posted recently or numerous times. I've even seen some idiots post something that was iterated in the very prior post. Ridiculously redundantly ridiculous.
