    Rajon Rando is about as rare a talent as they come.

    I think he has like 5 brothers and sister right? However, they have struggled for this long, can't they make it another year? If he would come back I think he would be so worried about improving his draft status that it could hurt the team. Good luck to the kid.

    Derrick Brown call, or no Derrick Brown call, Semaj ain't coming back. Bank.

    I hope that it works out for him.

    Derrick Brown, Please Call Semaj and give him some career advice.....

    It cracks me up that so many people feel qualified to opine on his decision, as if they have even the slightest idea what it's like to walk in his shoes. The kid made a decision. It appears to be informed. Right or wrong, he and his family will live with the consequences. Can't we all just say thanks and good luck?

    Right but his stats are not. My point was you can look throughout the NBA and see it is littered with point guards who struggle shooting the basketball. Semaj not being a great shooter will have nothing to do with him being drafted or making a team.

    But that's my point. Those who can get away with it have unique talents that allow their teams to overlook their deficiencies. I like Semaj but I'm not sure he's in that class of player. Although to be honest I'm more concerned with the way he gets to the rim (very direct and usually from the right) because it's much harder to get into the lane in the NBA.

    2. Pretty good point on Rondo, but he is very rare. I wonder if him having the largest hands in the NBA makes it a bit easier for him. I could only imagine that it can't hurt.

    Still, if you can't shoot in the NBA AND you're a middling second rounder...well, good luck.
    Really? MCW's PER is 14.43 which is pretty good as a rookie on a shitty team.

    Snipe, I'll counter your call from Derrick Brown with a call from Darnell Williams.

    Folks, just move on and wish him luck.
