Possibly. I still think there is a spot for Stokes if Tobias stayed then. Was Miller signed before or after Tobias declared?

I doubt Yemi would have been signed.

 

[omghulkhands]

I doubt Yemi would have been signed.

We had a spot open for a reason when we signed Stokes.

 

[zansdad]

I doubt Yemi would have been signed.

You don't think they would have taken him anyway? He was always going to be a project and he translates to the 5 not the 4. Having Tobias wouldn't really have changed that. Miller on the other hand was never going to be a 5 and would have been sitting behind Harris and Maymon had Tobias stayed. That's why I asked when Miller signed. If he signed before Tobias declared, then I agree Tobias leaving freed up a scholly for Stokes. If Miller was a reaction to Tobias leaving then there would have been a spot for Stokes since Miller probably wouldn't be here.

I think after, but I'm not positive.

I agree...assuming you mean "...let THEM go..."

I think the rule should mirror college baseball. Leave after HS if you want, but if you go to school, you must stay three years.

I think Kentucky’s Nerlens Noel would agree with this.

Dale Ellis road the pine in Dallas til he got traded to the Sonics and the rest is History. As long as Harris works on his craft and skills he'll get another shot at starting.

 

[KBVol]

I agree I think you should let go after high school or they have to wait 3 years

Like your thought. Like baseball, either jump to nba or commit to your university for 3 years. Your decision, your responsibility.

Ellis was a freakin beast once he got away from Dick Motta in Dallas. Who the hell knew he had that beautiful long range stroke that he'd never shown in college? Tell my kid about him all the time.

 

[franklinboy]

thanks for the input on his stats and things guys

 

[orange'nwhite25]

I agree with Tobias Harris' decision to leave, if you're being projected as a top-15 pick in the NBA take the money and run. Earn the millions first, you can always come back and get an education.

 

[TheApprentice]

If they go back to allowing players to be drafted out of high school, Kentucky would cease to exist...

 

[orangefreak21]

If Harris was here its likely stokes wouldn't be.

If Harris was here its likely he'd be full blown beast.

 

[Volumnus 2011]

Harris tore it up in the summer league, earned the starting 3 spot by the beginning of the season, then lost it a few games in. Not getting many minutes.

He got hurt and missed some games, and is still struggling to get into the lineup.

 

[franklinboy]

dang thats bad to hear right now. sure would love to see him on the court in orange n white but aw well..cant wait to see maymon hubbs and hopefully stokes next year if he does come back..imo i think he should.js

 

[Vol4ever]

Tobias left college too early. Skill set is pretty good but you gotta be tough in the NBA and his quickness at the NBA 3 is lacking. In addition you gotta play defense in the NBA

 

[volfan414life]

i posted when he declared himself for the nba draft,that he would be better off staying in collage and playing every game and not to enter draft and sit the bench till his contract expired and then sign via free agency somewhere else and average about 10 pts 5 rebs for two or three years then be out of nba.boy are some of these kids dumb to listen to agents .he would have been so much better starting 4 years at UT than practice 3 in nba .you get better with game experience not watching others play.also dick vital said that ky did not have a player on this years team that would make the nba.they have to leave to make room for 5 more 5 stars

id rather start 4 years in collage than to sign a 4 year 20 million contract to ride the pine.you improve by playing against other teams not watching others on the court.he got the money but he did not run he just moved to the end of the bench.

 

[BACKDOC]

anybody know how he is doing in the nba? if martin had him maymon and stokes it would easily be the top frontcourt in the country..bar none

Man that's a lot of ifs and buts.

yeah, forgo TWENTY MILLION dollars to MAYBE improve your draft stock.

forget that.

and he is what? 20 years old? practicing against NBA players while getting NBA coaching. he'll be fine when his time comes.

I would take the millions. No question about it.

 

[livefaith]

Man that's a lot of ifs and buts.

I was thinking why not have Aaron Craft and Josh Selby in the mix while were at it?

 

[508mikey]

I wish they'd do it like baseball. You wanna go out of high school fine, but you come to college and you're there for 3 years.

yes to this -- do those 1 and doners actually, even go to class at UK ?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Supposedly. You ask UK fans and those one and dones have a 4.0, I have a hard time buying that.

Don't forget Chris jones and Kevin ware...

Chris jones/Aaron craft
Josh selby/ Jordan mcrae
Tobias Harris/ Kevin ware
Jeronne Maymon
Jarnell stokes

Damn, what a shame!

it's evident by your opinion and spelling of "collage" that you're likely less than 12 years old.
