Following potential 2013 draftees

Actually kind of glad to hear Smart is staying. He will most likely be a lower pick next year than he was this year, and if we actually do take a step back next year, we may have a shot at him if we are outside the super star range of the draft.

I never really liked Smart though.. so the idea that another team was going to take him, leaving the player that we prefer - is why I wanted him to declare this year.

You do make a good point though.

If he doesn't improve a LOT he will fall wayyyyyy down. A lot of the hype with him is based on measurables but if he can't cut down on TOs and improve his shot he's not going to be anything close to a top 5 pick.

As long as he makes marginal improvements I don't see him falling out of the lottery. Next year's draft is still light on PG's and I see Smart dominating next year. He has good character and I think he is known as a worker.

Which is why I'm sick over his decision. He made a multi-million dollar mistake.. fact.
 
There's a barrage of twitter feed right now panning Smart's (not so smart) Decision:

Whoa. Big mistake. RT @WojYahooNBA Marcus Smart will return for his sophomore season. He could've been a top 5 pick in NBA Draft.

Kevin Pelton ‏@kpelton 11m
Wow. Stunned Marcus Smart staying at OK State, via @WojYahooNBA. Rarely see that decision aside from the lockout.

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 3m
If Woj report is true, first players since Blake Griffin to turn down a Top 3 pick to return to school ...

Ho-leee ****. Cy, bro.. grab a calc.

Top 5 pick to 'likely late lottery'.. less one year of earnings......
