No! No! He is the greatest! Whatever...mommy's not going to be happy about this.
Can't blame him for leaving early and taking the payday...but it will be his last one in the NBA.

[Corporate Greed]

I bet NBA teams are glad he decided to stay in school for that one extra year. It's going to save them tons of cash.

awesome!

Just another warm body that should have gone to a school to give him an education and develope him for a pro career. I look at all the pro flops(big men) from the ACC. Go to the ACC the guard conference and fall flat in the pro's. Sounds like someone fed this boy a line and he feel hook,line and sinker. He is not on the level and wasn't on Oden's level. Conley junior has found out his stock is low. Greed is the reason and these parents should be ashamed. Nice sized kid with a one year, three game career. Wow, MOM, DAD was it worth it? And No education to boot.

Sigh ... it sure is a slow news day, isn't it? If there's a cat in a tree in your neighborhood today, call the Indy Star.

this is great news. It couldnt have happened to a nicer guy. I wonder if he cried like he did on the Duke bench last year.

[Matt]

McRoberts was average at Duke, and he is never going to make it the NBA. It is time for him to decide if he really loves basketball. Welcome to the D league.

[Sam]

Have fun in the crappy motels and empty stadiums. Should have gone pro earlier.

[Whos responsible]

You are a complete idiot... hell yea it was worth it. You would have told your son to take the money too. Now if he makes less then the average guy with a Masters degree I would be amazed. WAKE UP!!!

I think Josh will be just fine and he will make his way back to the NBA before the season is out
