Ellenson's tough night

[MU82]

It seems to me that there is no design in the offense to get Ellenson open, so he has no other choice.  That game last night convinced ne that Ellenson will go pro after this year. Why would you comeback for another year of Wojo's coaching?

This is a reasonable point for sure.

Some act as if Henry having an only OK year will stop the NBA from taking him. We look at him (so far) and see a guy who isn't ready for the NBA, but neither was Vonleh. Neither was Len. Neither was Skauskas. Neither was Darius Miles way back when. Etc, etc, etc. There are dozens and dozens on this list.

NBA teams take the longview, and more than a few will look at him as a kid with great potential. Who wants to pass on "the next Dirk"?

Most of us have said all along that the main thing that would keep Henry here for a second year would be the "I just love college, especially my Marquette experience" factor. Well, if his experience sucks and if the NBA wants him, why would he stay for another year of this?

Believe me, I'm not saying all that will come true and I sure hope it doesn't. I hope things start to "click" for Hankster and the entire team when they settle into the cupcakes during Xmas break, and he absolutely loves being here, playing for the Warriors, being his brother's teammate, doing the whole MU thing.

But I could see that thought process creeping in if things don't get better: "If I'm going to struggle as I try to learn, I might as well struggle for $3 million as an NBA rookie."

As for Kentucky, again, what I said was Hankster almost surely has enough confidence in himself to believe he would get PT there. I wasn't talking about whether he actually would have gotten much.
