[quote="SLYFOXX1968" post=286442]Speculation is all this Board has to offer right now . I guess its cool to think Ponds does this or Ponds does that . From a Basketball Perspective , the NBA Scouts are saying he isn’t ready . For a 19 or 20 Year old to go against what the Pros are telling him will not result in a good outcome for Shamorie . Too many kids have made these irrevocable decesions and it hasnt panned out well for them . Ponds could have a Monster year , improve his weaknesses and showcase his splendid talent . The difficult reality for Shamorie to deal with is , he is 6’1” tops and maybe 180 . He has a smallish frame that is not likely to benefit from bulking up or adding weight . That is a fact . What can turn the Scouts around is a big year for him here . He has the game to make a lot of defenders look foolish and has proven it , against some of the best players in the Country . Big or small . Listen to your Pops, Shamorie and show them next Year what you can do ! Don’t take the crumbs of the G League or , Europe. You are better than that . And , you can add to a already hefty legacy here at St John’s .[/quote]
Great post Sly.
But it’s tough for a 19 yr old kid to acknowledge that reality and defer his dreams no matter how long the odds.
Let’s hope he makes the best decision for ‘him’.
We’ll know by tomorrow.
Que sera sera.
Let’s hope.
