If he's smart he will return for his junior season given his new found notoriety! The DUI, missed workout, and ankle twist will surely affect his stock price with only 6 days remaining to make a decision.

no doubt. lawson go back to school. the basketball gods are trying to tell you something......stay in school

He better go back

what's that I see in the distance.............is it a red flag ?

This is great news if you're a Tar Heels fan. I want Lawson to fulfill his goal of playing in the league, but he could clearly use another year in college for both maturity as well as the development of his game. His draft stock could only rise with another year in the college game.

He shouldn't have entered the draft in the first place. Ellington needs to drop out of the draft as well. I would like it if Green did too, but he's a much better player than Lawson and Ellington and might be a decent pick.

He's smart? thats why he was driving while he was drunk? that's the most classic case of oxymoron there is. If he was smart he wouldn't have been driving around drunk

He sounds pretty stupid to me. For him to make my team he would have to play in the D-League for at least two years and be absolutely nothing short of professional to have a chance to be the 11th or 12th man on my bench. Go Illini!!!!!

BAC of 0.03 hardly drunk, still driving, drinking underage with revoked license shows a lack of maturity and good judgement. He is still a first round pick, because the NBA is unfortunately made up of a good many punks, thugs, and people who think they are above the law. Compare this to the OJ Mayo scam. His stock isn't hurt. Why should Lawson's be. Professional sports is out of control.

Let's see, missed workouts, drinking problem, and the inability to follow the rules of the road. Sounds like he's ready for the NBA doesn't it?

WE DONT NEED THIS TYPE OF TRASH AT CAROLINA. PLEASE STAY IN THE DRAFT.

Looks like he will be back. ... I know this just make you Dook fans soooo happy. .. lol.

He is a player but clearly one of many that lacks common sense.. I agree he needs to return but big money makes it hard.

Go back to school kid.

if wants to get his life back he will come back take roy beating his "behind" in practices learn to be a Learder and then step up to the next level....

That sucks.

Go back to school, straighten yourself out. Shake off the injuries, issues, and missing NBA workouts. Come back strong next year and then enter the draft a much better player.

Gumbo and Gritz.
