The commentators stating how much better we probably would have been with him on the court with the team we have now. Oh well, we will never know, and he will never know what he could have been had he matured another year in the BE rather than jumping early..

No doubt in my mind that we'd have closer to 20 wins right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was here to get his ticket to the NBA and was taking it the first chance he got. No use in speculating about something that was almost never going to happen.

No use in speculating about something that was almost never going to happen.I've never gotten that vibe from him.Dojo made a good personal decision to leave. If he gotten this injury while still in college there's no way he's a first round pick. No guarantee he would be a first round pick even if he played through the entire year and had similar numbers. If you jump to the NBA and get first round pick and the guaranteed money that goes along with it, you made the right choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did what he thought was best for him and his family and I find it difficult to fault the guy for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless, you can still think you're great and love your team. I haven't seen anything from Dojo that says he believes he was bigger than the team or any other non-sense you're trying to insinuate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
