	I don't think he's ready to go yet. He needed to stay to clean up his game. Best of luck to him anyhow.

	Maybe he can join Marreese Speights from UF in the "What the F*** Were We Thinking?" league. Our boy dropped pass after pass and cost us a NCAA tourny bid, and he thinks someone is gonna snap him up in the draft. What a dummy. He's probably just pissy because Billy D said he wasn't any good and then locked them out of the facility and repossessed all of their Gator Gear when they protested. Good riddance.

	Despite winning the NIT Most Valuable Player award, I do not think he is quite ready for the jump to the NBA. He still has a lot to brush up on.

	I agree that he is not ready yet because he sure did not look ready throughout the season. Put him in against the big boys of the NBA and he'll be eaten up. I hope he comes back because I think he can really grow into a good player who is NBA material. Give him another year in the Big Ten and I think he could do very good against the competition. But as of now with him entering the NBA, he is a sheep being thrown into a pack of wolves.

	Gatorz, Speights is a likely lottery pick, or very close to. Koufos is not. www.draftexpress.com has Speights going 15th. With some good workouts, Speights would get into the lottery pretty easy. At least he has that chance. Koufos could have great workouts and not be top 20. He'll return though.

	He is 7' 0" which will certainly draw attention, but he had a severe lack of aggressiveness over much of the season. He would do well to stay. He could be a real force next year if the Buckeyes play the same offense as they did in the NIT. Even though Love is only 6' 10", I think he shows more pro potential than Koufos right now. The good news is that Thad seems to have a lock on a breeding ground for 7 foot centers somewhere. I hear there is another one coming in next year. Go Bucks!

	Oh, and we shouldn't bleed freshmen to the draft like we did last year. Go Bucks 2!

	who???? I havnt even heard of this guy.... which probably means hes not ready to go. If he is getting in the NBA now its beacause of his size.

	Koufos is a Canton native here, so I am certainly proud of him, even went to Glenoak, the school I graduated, but I think he should stay in school at least another year. But if a team were to draft him, I would love it to be the Cavs.
