    That's a bigger blow than Ellington entering the draft. That guy was developing into one of the top post players in the country, but it's a curious decision considering that he would have been a lottery pick as soon as next year. Sitting out a year would seemingly push that back even further.

    Apparently he has some family medical issues that he wants to be closer to home to deal with. Being on the other side of the country makes it hard to be there for your family.

    Stephenson? A lottery pick? no way in hell. He's a nice complimentary player. Good rebounder and shot blocker but plays no where near as tough as his physique says he should. Wish he had stayed - would have been a solid senior in two years but a lottery pick? you should stick to fantasy football

    Hate to see it, and I thought for SURE that with his father's help improving somewhat, that he'd be back. However I will say he's NOT a lottery pick. The two big men coming in this year would've probably hurt his minutes quite a bit. I will say however he'd outplayed Deon Thompson last year.

    Dumbfuck, try reading something other than the comics and help wanted sections. I don't even follow the NBA that much and yet even I saw articles about how Stepheson had NBA scouts drooling. Remember, idiot, they don't draft based on college stats. They draft based on physique and projectable skills. Stepheson has an ideal frame for an NBA power forward with outstanding athleticism and rapidly improving basketball skills. There's little doubt that he would have gone in the low teens next year, especially considering what looks to be a weak draft class.

    dumbfuck - you mean read things like this draft analysis that has Stephenson as the 65th ranked sophomore?

    Exactly how big is that fucking lottery you have in your fantasy basketball league?

    "Stepheson, a 6-foot-9, 235-pound power forward who has NBA scouts drooling every time he doffs his warmup, could start on most Division-I teams, but he comes off the bench without complaint for Carolina."


    Take a nice deep gulp of shut the fuck up, unless you plan to tell me that SI is a less reputable source than some amateur website you only found because it was the first hit on Google.

    fuck off fat boy

    you mean you are going to extroplate one sportswriter's opinion that NBA scouts drool over Stephenson just because he has muscles when he takes off his warmup into - "Stephenson would have been a lottery pick"?

    You really are one stupid fucking moron.

    The draft rankings I attached have mock drafts for the next TWO years and Stephenson isn't even a second round pick in either one, much less a lottery pick. Of course this is based on actual playing stats.

    I would say the credible experts base their rankings on court performance not physique. Not everyone is a ****** like you that drools over Stephenson's muscles. I bet your desktop is that Stephenson hot tub pick isn't it?
