Sad news. I was really hoping that Mr. Stokes would stick around and throw weight around the low post in orange one more time.

Well this blows but good luck Stokes

 

[865dude]

Who's going to that class in HSS to congratulate that guy? Lol

 

[CJ2K]

Wish we could have kept him 1 more year, but he gave his all for Tennessee.

Can't wait to buy your player T-shirt of your next team Stokes.

VFL

Only logical reason to me is that he feels playing in Europe would be as beneficial as coming back to school

 

[volbeast33]

IMO Stokes is taken early to mid second round and will make the team no matter where he lands

i agree......he will make a roster and i dont blame him for leaving but it sucks real bad as a vol

 

[volbeast33]

he will be learning and getting better in the nba

 

[vols 30]

Maybe playing in Europe is an attractive option to him

It's the only option. Can't see him being drafted.

 

[golfballs]

he will be learning and getting better in the nba

I think the odds are against it

 

[Aesius]

Dang. We're gonna suck next year.

The D-League has gotten better as well

 

[volbeast33]

I think the odds are against it

he has a dominant nba quality skill and it will earn him a roster spot.

 

[vols 30]

The haters have been rewarded.

 

[Spartacavolus]

what the hell is wrong with going abroad and becoming a millionaire if that's what happens?

 

[865dude]

He'll be drafted. Probably not high enough to be guaranteed, but I think he'll be on the end of a bench next year, or D-league. Eventually gaining a role.

Blind

And to be honest, it's not a horrible option as far as his game is concerned. He'll at least be playing in the right position. But as far as money goes, I think the chances of getting a first round pick next year is better.

 

[Vols4life]

No way in hell IMO, and I hope he's not going because someone told him that.

Could be an Austin Daye type of deal one team falls in love with the player and will draft them in the 1st round

 

[volbeast33]

Blind

he is taller than dejuan blair and surely as good as the big that came out of kentucky a few yrs ago....he will be on someone's roster....

 

[volball625]

Part of me is just laughing at how bad this team will be next year. Other part of me is crying. Martin won't survive next year. No chance.

Good luck to Stokes.

 

[goooooovols]

Wish him the best!

 

[Mullins2010]

Well time to go sign a SG and A big man

 

[InVOLuntary]

Good luck JS! Thanks for donning the big orange and representing the right way.

So much for next year.
