Whether it is at the 3 or the 4, it is going to be hard to keep Zach Brown off the floor next year. The kid can play on both sides of the ball. Post Ron and Fred, I predict he will be the go to guy and the leader of the team.

I think is a chance that Ron may go. If he don't go NBA draft there are other opportunities. He will be a year older and would have to have a spectacular year to raise his draft potential. While it's not NBA money there is good money in overseas basketball. If this happen ZB would be the first player that come to mind to take up the slack.

He's not going anywhere. He is not in the first round and you don't leave college for Europe, which will be there next year.

Fortunately for WSU, if Ron goes pro we have Brown (top 150 by most recruiting services and top 100 by a few obscure evaluators), Shamet (top 100 rivals), and Frankamp (top 50 by everyone) ready to play SG.

Generally, although not always, that is true. If you already have your degree and you have no real desire for grad school you may decide to get on with your post-college life.

In those circumstances I would describe it as not leaving college to go to Europe but going to Europe after completing college.

Not saying we won't be back. I really don't know one way or the other.

If RB leave there will be a concern at the back up point guard position. Curious about the potential successor. Either Henderson or one of the incoming guards will have to take up the slack. Other than bringing in an experienced juco point.

I'll put it this way. Ron has basketball eligibility. He is a part of a top10-15 team returning with his good buddy FVV and a coach he would run through a wall for. He is not a first rounder. Europe will be there regardless. I know nothing about nothing, except to say Ron is staying at 21st and Hillside. Book it Dano.

Hope you're right. I suppose, if it comes down to a decision between another year of college ball and starting grad school vs Euro pro-ball, it will boil down to whether he values that over an extra year of European pro-ball and whatever he can make doing that plus being able to focus solely on basketball.

[WillieJeffJeffries]

That's why I like FVV, RB, ZB, MM, SM. That's 6-0, 6-4, 6-6, 6-7*, 6-7.

*Still growing :)

We just committed to pay a guy 23M+ to figure this stuff out, I say you let him...at least til the final roster is set.:very_drunk:

But he'll be 23 next season, it may now or never if he wants a shot in the Association. I wouldn't fault him if he declares, Ive seen 34-45 on draft projections so its a tough call but he has to decide if he can move up or he is what he is...If he is told he will be a mid 2nd rounder next year....he should leave and take his shot.

Exactly. At this point for someone in RB position. There is a business side.

[pinstripers]

Whether Ron stays or goes, we will try to develop a PG this year, probably Tyrone Taylor.

[Ol skool]

If Ron goes that development need would be increased. Example who would have played back up point if Ron was not there. None of the incoming freshman were able to step up to the level that Marshall expected. Hopefully that won't be the case next season. Maybe CF after 9 games will give WSU another potential option. Currently it is a concern until someone proves adequate.

It's not now or never, it's now or later.

[shockmonster]

Yes. That's the way I see it too. If he's projected to be a 2nd round draft choice both years, I'm not sure there is an upside this year beside he could get hurt. A 2nd rounder has go the D league route anyway. If he wants to mAke some guaranteed money he could play in Europe. This year or next. It won't be a great deal of difference.

I think Ron likes 'legacy' and 'loyalty'.... He'll be back.
