Rysheed

I honestly don't care if he speaks or not. If he is not ready to be a public speaker, he can wait. What I am enjoying, is watching him enjoy being on the court and with teammates. In huddles, and especially on senior day, he appears he is now one of the guys, and that's fun to watch too.
 
Now that he is projected as a 2nd round pick, I would be very surprised to see him return (although hope he does).

Sheed spent the entire off-season tweeting his intentions to leave after this season.

Certainly won't be shocked if he leaves. I believe CO stays, but we'll see. Again it is not about pro readiness. It is what they and/or advisors believe. We'll know soon enough.
 
need to work on these two guys....how about some chats...."ONE MORE YEAR"!!!!!! they both could refine their game, they NEED too. Our team could be really good if they both return. If they do and we get Diallo, AND everyone is healthy and elligible...look out!!
ONE MORE YEAR!!!!!!
Go Johnnies!!!
 
What type of money do second rounders get? I'm guessing a lot less than first rounders?

Sheed would be first team BE if he returns and would have the PG position all to himself. He has improved a lot the last month but next year he could be a monster.
 
Rysheed saw Zachs tweet about staying one more year and how it would benefit him. Rysheed retweeted it last night. Good sign I guess but it's a reach

He should attend a D-League game and see what its like to play in front of a couple of hundred fans, and listen to fans chat about how this guy used to be somebody..

That, or he thought to himself .... "2nd round. All right, I'll take it. I'm outta here!"
 
its not a dig on sheed at all, to stay another year and refine his game....there is something to be said for that. NBA execs will also look at the fact that he wasn't allowed to speak to the media...some off court issues....etc. Listen, we here would LOVE to have him back, we also have seen tons of kids go to early (ala omar cook ), if he comes back next year in a "leader" role, runs the team with Obekpa, talks to media, etc, that will only help his game and future. He HAS to see that. He will not get lost in the limelight of NYC, in fact, he will have a bunch of pre season expectations coming into next year...probably pre season 1st, 2nd team all american i bet. definitely a top point guard. He needs to see this before he jumps ship...same goes for CO.
ONE MORE YEAR.....ONE MORE YEAR !!!!!!!
Go Johnnies!!!
 
Difference in what a 2nd rounder gets vs. 1st rounder has got to be in millions.
Good investment to return for at least 1 more year.

The bigger issue is no guarantees for 2nd rounders
 
This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever.
These are the days to hold onto
Cause we won't although we'll want to.
This is the time, but time is going to change.
I know we have to move somehow,
But I don't want to lose you now.

I was surprised to see him getting 8 assists vs. Nova, the kid has been up damn good number now.
I'd hate to say it, but I think if he keeps this up in the B.E. Tourney and NCAA, I think he's gone after this year.
Of course though I hope I'm wrong

I think he's gone, and I don't blame him one bit. Gotta make money while you can!
 
You're assuming the team won't be one and done in the BET and the NCAA. That scenario won't help anyone's chances including Rysheed or Lavin! Let's pray that won't happen, but I've learned to be pessamistic.

No question any D1 player can make SOME money playing somewhere. The question isn't whether to grab money now, but whether his stock will go up significantly by another year of refining his game. If he moves up into the first round, each step up is a significant bump in guaranteed money. If he leaves now, goes undrafted or late second round, the climb into the NBA could be significant or never.

I agree with what you are saying.....but there are always different ways of looking at it. The way he is playing right now, his stock may never be higher. A good run in the BET and NCAA's could elevate his stock even more. Looking at next year, if he comes back to school, he will be the focal point for all of our opponents on defense. Until another of our players proves they can score, it will be a 'stop Jordan, and you stop St Johns' mentality.

There are plenty of examples where going back to school didn't help a player. Look at Matt Leinart. If he would have gone to the draft after his junior year, he could have easily have been the #1 overall pick. Instead, he went back to college for his senior year. The following year, he ended up getting drafted 10 overall, and his career never really materialized. So there are situations where going back to school can actually hinder your draft status.

Also, and I hope that this never happens to him or anyone else, there is the possibility of injury. What if he comes back, tears his knee up on a freak accident, and then can never play again? I understand that an injury can occur in the NBA just as easily as in college, but I would like to think that he will have access to better doctors and benefits in the NBA than in college.
