[QUOTE=Da KO King]Stephenson doesn't have much choice. There was pretty much no chance of him going in the first round.[/QUOTE]
So of course Stenphenson declares for the Draft. Hopefully he doesn't hire an agent.

Damn you beat me to it lol.
I say its 50-50 that he will go pro.
I think he will go pro because he has a little girl and wants to take care of his family.
The reason I think he will stay iun school is because his game needs a bit more polish to it.

I was just told that Stephenson actually already has an agent.

Yep. I heard it on Sportcenters.
This is hands down one of the worst early entry decisions I can remember. It would take miracle caliber workouts for Stephenson to become a guaranteed first rounder.
[QUOTE=InspiredLebowski]I think the complete opposite. If anything he's shed a bit of that primadonna ego, he's seemed pretty coachable at Cinci.
Anyway, there were reports he's staying at Cinci for his soph seasons a month or so ago but I don't think any of them actually quoted him.[/QUOTE]

bill walker was.
but it's a shame he declared for the NBA, he could be really good in the NCAA and build his stock up
Lance Stephenson pretty much represents everything that is wrong with High School hype machines. Sure he's famous-ish, but has it made him an NBA lock? No. And it's probably made him so arrogant and spoiled that he won't develop into as good of a player as he could have.
It could be worse of course (Jeremy Tyler). At least Lance played pretty well at Cinci, just not well enough to be a first rounder as a freshman.
Believe it or not, NBA scouts and GMs judge you on how you perform in college and on your physical attributes. They don't care that you dominated scrubs on Staten Island.
Who ever gets Lance will get the steal of the draft " Born Ready" his game was made for the NBA. see Tyreke Evans
[quote=Posterize246]Those were his quotes. And I agree he's definitely [B]been humbled[/B].[/quote]
Fixed. Losing some of the ego's obviously a good thing, but he didn't have much choice, not like his name's TJ Ford.

Forgot about Walker. Why did Walker declare? One time I heard it was because he wasn't going to legitimately make grades.

You guy are all MORONS. I should be paid to be an NBA scout, I am always right. Anybody with eyes can tell you Lance is a top 3 player in this draft class, he is a Tyreke Evans clone.
21 points 4 rebs 3 assists 8-10 FG in his summer league debut and was has down the best player on the court,and he went in the 2nd round.
And was defended by the 5'8 Jerome Randle most of the game. Stephenson looked good, but let's not ahead of ourselves.
[QUOTE=bigtimekicks]he is reall talented. So it is no wonder he will be drafted.[/QUOTE]
I see...
donte greene scored like 40+ points in a summer league game . . . just sayin

Donte Greene actually looked really good in some spurts last season. Travis Diener putting up like 35 in a summer game's a better example.

Guy has one good summer league game and you should be an NBA scout? :oldlol:
I like Lance Stephenson. He needs to improve on his shooting and cutting down on no look passes but if he is moved to PG he really will shine in Indiana. 6'6 227 with a killer crossover.
