    I think LSU should go with a 5 forward lineup. It's genius!!!!!

    If you consider Temple to be a point forward, like I do, then the:

    Temple
    Thornton
    Mitchell
    Randolph
    Johnson

    lineup is 1 guard and 4 forwards.

    and the guard is the best rebounder of the bunch.

    If Randolph would work on a jump hook around the basket, and quit shooting in close from his shoulder, he would be twice as effective. He gets most of his shots blocked when in close to the basket because he negates his height advantage by his shooting technique. It's difficult to understand why some coach hasn't corrected this flaw in his offensive game.

    i think its a common flaw in left-handers. they probably dont correct it because he's always too depended on to screw with him.

    Except for that part, this is spot on. Dude has a lot of work ahead of him before he even thinks about leaving. With the recruits (Morgan mostly) coming in next year, it's a no-brainer he should stay.

    no the only thing he has to work on is getting legit info on whether a team is willing to spend millions on him.

    if they are then that is all that matters, nothing more. not if he will suck and never play.

    everyone always forgets this.

    Yeah, it all comes down to the $$$. I doubt he's a lottery pick this year, but you never know, he could be getting his info from the same people Bass did.

    He could also stay for another year, have a big man in Morgan playing center to take the pressure off of him, win SEC POTY and then be a top 5 pick and be guaranteed to make millions more. Seems more logical to the average man, but maybe not so much to an 18 year old.

    its likely hes gonna be a lottery pick because this class seems abnormally weak. next year's wont be worse so its likely best he leaves which is why he is.
