Those no-look passes between him & Will were a thing of beauty. I think they both kind of got lost in the drama surrounding Morgan's dismissal, and may have pulled the trigger too early in terms of declaring themselves for the draft.
Agreed, I don't think they left at the best time, but I think Curtis was already 23 even though he declared early.
Does anyone know why he didn't go to Europe for more $$$?
It might be true that Stinson's age is turning NBA GM's off- but it seems pretty silly. Its not like an NBDL call is anything more than a stop gap solution to fill a roster spot for 10 days or the season's balance. Seems to me, the best decision a GM could make is to sign a guy who can contibute in practice.
Same goes with Deandre Kane. Its one thing to not draft Kane because of ability or maybe lingering questions from his Marshall days, but to not draft him in the latter part of the first round is silly. An NBA team would be:getting a MAN, not a kid still maturing. At 25, Kane can give an NBA team 5-7 years of his best basketball.
Curtis was a scorer, but not only not a great shooter from distance, at times a liability there.. That doesn't always translate to the highest level of the pros. He has certainly been good at this level of the pros. Has he had a 10 day contract anywhere?
