Romeo Now #26!

agree. i hate the never ending ball screens, dribble handoffs, and posting up 20 feet from the basket
but they will put them in the g league and it will become more of a farm system like baseball. that begs the next question. could the nba expand the draft to 3 or more rounds, possible drafting a hundred high schoolers and adding another prep league below the g league level. now that would really change college basketball.
No he did not. Indiana University and Indiana ties will benefit Romeo for the rest of his life. Romeo absolutely made the right decision for his future.
The only reason we got Romeo was cause slick Rick got fired, now that's a fact.
Why? Every 1st round pick gets a guaranteed 2 year contract.
Using draft numbers for last year, and using absolute worst case numbers...
The 10th pick will make $4,457,440. Invest that and a conservative 5% return is $222,872 a year. Romeo will be a top 10 pick.
I'll humor you with the 26th pick numbers: $2,137,280 in two years, 5% return is $106,864 a year.
Remember this is the absolute worst case scenario. It is very likely the picks will earn much more than this. Years 3 and 4 get better unless you bust out of the league.
Why is it foolish?
He’s had that look since Day 1 when the season still held promise.
Don't agree and will never watch the G-league and I only watch the Pacers now so I won't watch anymore NBA than I do now.
Money is out there even if they don't get drafted.
Troy jumped into the draft and did not get drafted. He has earned about 900k per year bouncing around from team to team.

Bryant was a 2nd round pick and seems on the way to 4 mil over 1st 3 years.

more evidence that suggests Archie is the worst coach EVAR? now you're even getting bad at bad posts.
remember that time after the OSU game (3 days ago) when you said you were leaving the board until Archie got fired? man, i miss those times. thought you were onto something...
My local paper (Bergen Record in NJ) has an article on how top 5 picks are playing. They list Romeo fifth and say " the first four spots are pretty definite. Who goes at #5 is more debatable, but Langford is certainly in that conversation... his 3 point shooting needs work... Langford has improvements to make, but he has the skills to develop into a dangerous scorer in the NBA".
IMO you only stay for another year if you think you can significantly improve on your draft position. So if you're projected to be a late 1st round pick, but its a strong draft year, maybe next year there are less quality players at your position, you think you can also improve markedly with another year in college, then maybe you would stay. But, if you're a lottery pick, how much higher can you move waiting another year? Plus factor in the opportunity cost of a year of lost salary, the risk of injury - it makes no sense to stay. You may be as likely to move down in the next years draft as move up
I may be off but maybe because fans want to see success with both player and team. They tend to invest emotionally in both, and like their own kids, want to see both player and program grow into what they know they can be. Doesn’t mean he should or will stay, just a want for it to feel right. I don’t believe it’s a reflection/attack in any regard. Oh and add years of frustration missing more tournaments than made.
