Besides, next year's draft will be much deeper than this year's. If he can't get in the first round this year, he sure as Hell couldn't do it next year.

Thats the number one reason he stayed in the draft. This is his best shot, period.

If he had tried to come back to UT, he would have been academically ineligible. He quit going to class and started workouts to prepare for the draft as soon as UT was eliminated from the NCAA tournament.

Not like he really went to class to begin with

Simple, SCOTTY is not physical enough for the NBA and wil be a "project" for any team that drafts him, PERIOD. He should have stayed a year and hit the weights, Enjoy Europe Scotty..... You can make a lot of money over there.

Experts on ESPN said that General Managers are now telling their coaches to be very cautious with Scotty. They said "When you see him in the gym, he will pass the eye test, and you'll fall in love with him. But go back and watch the tape." They blasted his inconsistency.

I mean, we all knew this, but even GM's are picking it up. I wish Scotty well, but I do not see him being a first rounder, and IF he makes it in the second, he should consider himself lucky.

All in all, he should have stayed another year.

Eh, I think someone could take a chance on him in the 2nd round, but that's pretty much meaningless.

It said in every article written about him in the last two months that he had made arraingements with his Professors to keep up his course work! It really doesn't matter now!!! I would say it hard to believe this discussion would last this long on here, but this board for the most part is completely retarded!!!!!!

Hopson has gradually improved, and he has NBA athleticism, and some ability to shoot--but he needs to get stronger, tougher and improve his ball-handling.

Not even close to being true. He would have graduated this summer had he stayed in school.

I wish people like you would think before posting such BS garbage

No reason for a player with his ability to have problems handling the basketball. If he had worked hard on that aspect of his game, he should not be having the problems he has. I do agree that he is not mentally strong and just basically gives up if things aren't going his way. Lack of effort and lack of consistency is a major problem. However, the ability is there, if cultivated properly and with consistent effort and hard work. Playing hard is a reflection of how hard he is willing to work.

It wouldn't matter how hard he worked if the focus isn't there. I don't think it's a case of him not being able to dribble. I think it's a case of him not focusing and concentrating hard enough
