March 11, 201610 yr According to Coach Cal's comments yesterday, and ESPN is running with it now... "I'm happy for him. When he came here, you had everybody tell me, 'You've got a four-year point guard. Now this is how you should do it.' And, 'He doesn't need to have all pros.' Welp, you were wrong again. I mean, here's this kid that's going to be a pro. He'll be drafted this year, after two years." I know he's said stuff similar to this before, and everyone pretty much felt it was gonna happen, but count me in the group that isn't a fan that he would somewhat steal the moment (most likely unintentionally) from Ulis.

Have all the recruits we have next year signed their Loi? If not maybe he is just trying to make sure none of the guards coming in next year don't change their mind if they think Ullis would still be here.
March 11, 201610 yr Or maybe he is guiding him out of the door so that he doesn't have to do the platoon thing again.

Agreed.
March 11, 201610 yr Or maybe he is guiding him out of the door so that he doesn't have to do the platoon thing again. Maybe. But I don't think Ulis' stock can ever be higher than it is right now. He's had a fantastic season and he is a terrific player. But he's also 5'9"; the more scouts look at him, the more that could be a deterrent (fair or not). I'd say he'll strike while the iron is hot.

He'll end up on the Spurs and have a HOF career. :lol2:
March 11, 201610 yr At a minimum, Ulis needs to test the waters. The new rules allow for that approach again. Most so-called experts believe this year's draft class is relatively weak, so he might as well enter the draft. He has proven to be a very, very good college point guard. His only real limitation is his height, and that ain't changing.
March 11, 201610 yr If he won't be drafted in the first round to become an instant millionare, why would he go?
March 11, 201610 yr Author If he won't be drafted in the first round to become an instant millionare, why would he go? Because all he'd accomplish by coming back is risk injury.
March 11, 201610 yr Because all he'd accomplish by coming back is risk injury. Yeah, his ceiling isn't going to go any higher. I'm know scout, but it is probably in his best interest to leave this year.

March 11, 201610 yr Because all he'd accomplish by coming back is risk injury. He plays close enough to the ground for injury to not be a real concern of mine. An Andre Miller type career arc is kinda what I expect from him, with Chris Paul being his best case scenario short of landing on the Spurs.
