I can understand the sentiment, and as a lifelong heat fan I feel like the bandwagon fans (of which there are too many) take away from true fans. Not trying to start another true fan debate, and wooohooo Tobias just got drafted!

We had those issues twice. Puerto ricans and ya boy arroyo. And after the finals run in 2009. They have jumped ship to Miami though. (thank god). I was there since nick Anderson lol.

It really is. Him getting drafted will undoubtedly help the program. I understand if people dont like him. Ive never been so frustrated watching basketball as i was watching him. It's just good all around if he gets drafted, and i dont understand why people dont see that.

Kid frustrated me so many times. But if you can't separate that frustration from personal animosity or hate you are hanging on too tight.

I truly haven't witnessed a fan base more hateful towards their own players and coaches than Tennesse. What is it about some of you that compels you to crap on former and current representatives of our school? Grow up. Scotty and Tobias don't owe any of us a thing. I wish them all the best as they try to live their lives as best they can. Some of you need to get on with yours.

I would feel bad for d wade but he fell into the arrogant jack wagon antics that is lebron James. 20% likes the heat because of d wade. So that leaves 5% being heat fans. I never understand people who are player fans and don't have a team.

I was a big D Wade fan and now that I see him running with Bron and him getting more arrogant each game kind of turned me against him.

Hopson had a good workout with the Spurs, Heat, and the Bucks. I really think he will get picked in the 2nd round.

ESPN's Draftcast has Hopson as the 3rd best SG available as of the 26th pick.

with all of the international players stepping up their game I can't see why they would want some of these undrafted players.

I wished he would have came back for his senior year. I think he needed another year simply to improve his ball handling skills. I think he would have been a lottery pick next year. Best of luck to him all the same.

We are down to 9 more selections remaining in the draft. I hope Hopson has a back up plan to go to. Israel, Turkey, Russia, NBA developmental league, Lithuania, etc.
I feel that even though his "Handler's" were telling him to declare for the draft, Pearl could have talked some sense in to Scotty.
Had he returned for his senior season, he would have been the feature player on the team. He would have stood a better chance of getting drafted, had he returned for his senior season.
Now he has no NBA contract and no college degree!!!!

I hear Hopson is live at the draft.

If that is true, I feel sorry for him, He hyped himself up to believe he is a lottery pick :(
