Since I was the one who said good riddance, let me explain; Mack clearly stated his desire to go pro after one year so I don’t want him here, playing for a pro contract, not the team or the school. That’s what Ponds just did, that’s what Jakaar Sampson did. I root for St. John’s, not developing pro players; there is a D league for that. If Mack or his Mom took offense to that, too bad.[/quote]
Him coming to St. John's, crushing it, and then going directly to the NBA would be good St. John's I'm rooting for him to come here and leave after one year.[/quote]
No, it would not. Plain and simple, no it would not. Like Harkless leaving didn’t help us or Sampson; just like Ponds won’t. And IMO, come in and crush it, then talk, the guy has bounced around and played one year of JUCO. His right, his life but I don’t need to see another season of a guy playing for a pro contract. I want to see a TEAM.[/quote]
We need players in the league that went to this school. We have one regular and one barely there player in the league right now. Need more. We can't be barren wasteland, with regard to getting kids to the NBA.
