[QUOTE="tOSUaluminWVa, post: 129302947, member: 1975572"] Count me as one of those "folks," 43rd Parallel. I posted on here last year that Staten had cost himself money by returning to school for a fifth year, and was widely criticized. Whether he would have been drafted after his great junior season or not, he would have earned money playing overseas last season, if not in the NBA. Even a D-League assignment would have earned him a little scratch, and valuable professional experience. He never was, or will be, a good three-point shooter; that's not his game. He had virtually no chance of getting drafted Thursday night. He was a year older, and coming off of a senior season, which was not as good as his junior campaign. WVU fans selfishly wanted him to return to school, and I get that, but he didn't become Steph Curry from behind the Arc by staying in school a fifth year. The three-point argument is lame. [/QUOTE]
