Brackins and his future

[clone4lyfe]

Also, I forgot to mention that his defense needs to come a long way before he is able to guard NBA talent. He was constantly put on the other teams weakest post player this year so we could keep him out of foul trouble and he could save his energy for the offensive end of the court. If you watch him he doesn't move to well laterally on D and a bunch of times this year guys would go around him pretty easily. Now I don't know whether that's b/c he can't play D or just b/c coach told him to be cautious on that end of the court so he doesn't get in foul trouble.

The NBA game is different then the college game. You need to get in and learn that game as soon as you can. Brackins is 21 and ready to make money playing. The NBA doesn't like drafting older players. Last year only 3 players were drafted in the first round that were 22. Rush was the first one selected at 14 and he was there only because he tore up his knee during NBA camps the year before. By the way, he came back and had a great year and helped guide KU to the NC. Then was drafted in the exact same spot SI.com had him projected the year before. It's very hard to move up the draft board by staying another year and getting older in college. The other 22 year olds went 22nd and the final pick of the first round and he didn't end up making a roster. The NBA is not a league you wait to play in unless your name is Tyler and you go to UNC and you have very little upside. In the long run it will be good for ISU because every player wants to get to that level asap and ISU can show recruits that they can get them there.
