Players leaving for the NBA

[Dane Pound]

Looks like we lucked out. Nick Fruscio announced on Twitter that he will not be entering his name in this year's NBA draft.

My heart skipped a beat. I was sitting here thinking...first Nichols, then Cremo, and now Frush too!?

WHOA! Is he hiring an agent?

EDIT: NVM, I guess there is a new rule in place where you can come back agent or not.

A crack in the UVM armour has appeared.

Pickett is taking the same route as Lamb.

Its become standard for underclassman that feel they have a shot to get drafted eventually. Attend now to get official work with NBA scouts. It gets them on the radar and let's them know exactly what NBA teams feel they have to work on. I doubt either will be drafted and both will return, but they will know exactly what they need to do this coming year. 

That said, I think Huerter assumed he would return, but this exercise raised his stock enough to enter the draft, so you never know.

No one is drafting a 6'6 Lamb who can barely jump over a phone book...he's a great AE player and will make good coin in Europe. Guys in the NBA at that size are long, athletic SG types.

100% agree. Still a great learning experience for him though.

There's no question...both guys have nothing to lose.

Not a player, but it's still someone heading to the big time.

Not Albany related but RJ Hampton going to play pro ball in Australia is interesting. He was the #5 recruit in this year's class and could have gone to one of the blue bloods if he wanted. Kind of makes sense, he'll get paid this year and can work on his game full time.

Truthfully, I like this better than the “one and done” system we currently have. It’s a total joke that teams load up with these players knowing they have no intention whatsoever of staying even 2 years, let alone 4.

Not sure where to put this but...

Doubt Cremo has any shot, but you never know.
