Sampson will fit right in in the NBA

[redfazed]

Another forward declared today that will be ranked
higher than Karr, fellow Brewster player Mitch McGary tested positive for marijuana so he bolted for the draft facing a one year suspension in college.


@BFQuinn: Michigan's Mitch McGary declares for NBA draft amid failed drug test in NCAA tournamenthttp://t.co/WwK2IHKcMY

McGary's "situation" is all over the sports talk show stations on Sirius XM this morning
What a joke!!
The kid's not even playing in the tournament and he gets drug tested
NCAA is modifying the penalty for the future but it won't help McGary right now
He gets a 1 year suspension from the NCAA and, in essence, is being forced to leave school
Here's a kid that was a borderline lottery pick after his freshman year and probably a late first/early second round pick now
Moral of the story - if you're a lottery pick or a certain first rounder - LEAVE ASAP!!
By the way, I also heard an interesting stat - 35% of all underclassmen that have declared in the past did not get drafted at all
I wonder if Jakarr Sampson knew that before he declared for the draft?

Interesting quote from this article about McGary. Not saying it applies to Jakarr, but could explain the head-scratching decisions of some kids declaring:

"The Chesterton, Ind., native could've just turned pro and not mentioned the failed drug test publicly or privately. It stands to reason other players have done just that."

This is why I have trouble with posters on this board. If you are not saying it has anything to do with Jakarr, why even mention Jakarr's name when talking about someone who failed a drug test. It is totally nonsensical and disrespectful.

It is the exact opposite of being nonsensical and disrespectful. I mentioned it because this discussion about McGary was brought up (by someone else, not me) under a thread that is specifically named for Sampson. As such, I wanted to make clear that I was not referring to Sampson. In fact, I have been very vocal in this thread and others about my admiration for Sampson.

If that is the case, why just not state that this may be a reason some kids enter the draft without mentioning Jakarr's name at all, just a thought .

Fair point.
