April 17, 200818 yr Teammates Westbrook and Mbah a Moute expected to join him Let the mass exodus begin. Darrel Arthur and Brandon Rush having press conferences as we speak to announce their decisions as well...
April 17, 200818 yr Will the NBA draft have to be 7 or 8 rounds this year? I think we have 291 freshman declaring. :lol:
April 17, 200818 yr There are just players you like for some reason, and some that you absolutely can't stand. I just can NOT stand him for some reason.
April 18, 200818 yr Love will be a solid pro for many years. You really think so? I'm with others on here in thinking that he is the main one that should have stayed for another year or so.
April 18, 200818 yr Here's the thing with Love. I don't think staying does him much good. What we saw this year is pretty much what he's always going to be. 12-17 range in round 1. And a good move to take it...

April 18, 200818 yr He will be a Brad Miller type pro, that is not going to hurt a team. He probably won't ever average 20 a game, but barring injury I see him being in the league for a long time.

And a good move to take it... I think he's ready. But, I think he could be a higher pick in a weaker class next year. I could be wrong about Love, but there aren't that many guys with his size and bulk with the low post game he has. Plus, he can knock down jump shots if left open. The questions about him guarding some of the athletic 4's in the league are valid, but I also think a guy with his size and ability on the blocks could be a mismatch on the other end, especially after he adjusts to the NBA and gets some experience. I think about the way a guy like Karl Malone, who was 3 inches shorter than Love, used his wide body to dominate in the post.
April 18, 200818 yr Is the new NBA rule really accomplishing anything? I assume you're talking about the rule that forces guys to play one year of college ball... I would say yes. We get to watch some super talented freshman play at least one year in the college game. I wonder if Xavier and Texas would have preferred playing UCLA and Memphis minus Love and Rose. I go back and think about how good Lebron James was immediately in the NBA...imagine how fun it would have been to watch him play for some college team for a year. Personally, I don't agree with the rule. But, I like it because it adds talent to the college game and makes it more exciting, IMO.
April 18, 200818 yr I don't like him, but mainly I think it's because it's an unfair advantage for him to have all those extra calls and dinners with John Wooden during his recruitment. Of course if Adolph was still alive I would have no problem with us using him.
