Title: Found this video on Vander talking....
Post by: The Sultan of Silly on October 14, 2013, 10:05:13 AM
Found it to be the most comprehensive on his thought process of why he decided to declare.

More power to him. Guy is chasing his dream and I hope he realizes it.

Great find and good luck to Vander.  Loved hearing the "NBA teams are looking for guys from MU" line.  I think this alley-oop was posted elsewhere on scoop, but worth repeating here:

Loved that line. And the part about the Marquette brand established by Buzz's guys in the NBA. And the part about Buzz backing him 100%. Vander's game (pluses and minuses) was pretty well known by the scouts. Anything short of him becoming a really good, consistent 3 point shooter wasn't likely to change his NBA prospects. Good luck to him.

No chance Buzz backed Vander, knowing Vander would be making more than him in a year.  Buzz said as much himself in his heated argument seen by the team, coaches, trainers, etc. in the weight room after the season ended.

I like Blue. I loved him here. I wish him nothing but the best, I really do. I'm happy to see MU represented well in the NBA.

But that interview was really weak in my opinion. He said what he needed to, but repeated himself a lot, stuttered, stammered, and didn't sound professional. It seemed more like he was talking to a good friend than a media member. I know that it was only Draft Express and the "play does the talking", but I think showing that a player is a strong interviewer can't be a bad thing.

More power to him.

I guess I just have the problem with him having the opinion that he had nothing else to accomplish in college. I know he had a great year, but it wasn't like he set the ceiling too high to eclipse. 14 pts a game, 2nd team Big East? If anything, I think he left a lot to accomplish individually and as a team.

Have you never seen a Vander interview before?  This was one of his better ones.

Completely agree, that was about the best I've seen Vander in an interview.

Thanks for posting Sultan
