I wonder how many games we would have won without him. It would have been ugly. He carried this team at times.
He has a really tough decision, and I don't envy him, although he'll make a good living either way. Opportunity cost is really tough to gauge, and it goes both ways. Playing one more year in college defers his payday one more year, but going out too soon can cost him a lot over the long haul if that one more year would move him up the draft board. Tough decision for sure. Whatever he does, I hope it is the best for him. Great kid, great Cougar, and I'll cheer for him regardless (unless he's a Laker).
