Talented league with talented players. However it seems this Observer post is a whole lot of nothing.

Lawson will be a high pick-
but those other 2 I don' think will-
they're athletic, but in the NBA - I doubt they'd be anything more
than bottom feeders at the end of the bench for a year or 2
no way do they deserve to be 1st round draft picks
- doesn't mean they can't go overseas & make a nice living-

The article uses the phrase "water-tested" which is so fitting. The NBA is a watered-down league with too many teams. Their thirst for players to (1) fill roster holes and (2) find the next superstar is a huge drain on the college basketball system.

Is this a story? Same thing happened to the PAC-10 last year. The most talented league is the one most likely to lose players to the NBA.

Seems like a no-brainer. A heavily talent-laden Conference will potentially have several players move on to the next level? Who would have thought it....

Unless the only single solitary thing they are looking for his money, Ellington and Green should stay. They are not ready.

Docmadlab -

Danny Green is a senior. His eligibility is up. He can't stay...

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone really and the talent the ACC brings in on a yearly basis will really downplay the significance of it all in my opinion..

Should be interesting to see if James Johnson or Jeff Teague from Wake test the waters - I think both will be back because they could make a national championship run with the players they have coming back next year

hey ZanzibarAnnie .. Danny Green is a Senior .. DOH !!!!!

*** Correction *** Docmadlab sorry Zan

Jeff teague and al farouq aminu might stay, and they should. Ty Lawson and Wayne are gonna leave for sure. and Gerald Henderson is probable, but Kyle Singler will probably stay. best conference in the world.

I agree with the watered down league. The NBA, as well as other professional sports, they have too many teams and it makes most the season BORING. Why not get rid of 4-6 teams and get rid of the scrubs that don't belong in the league. This way talent would more evenly spread out instead of stars being stuck on HORRIBLE teams.

GOO HEELS, FINISH THIS SEASON OF INJURIES OFF WITH A NATIONAL TITLE.

Ok. Thanks. I didn't realize that. Well then, good luck to him. He's going to need it.

Forget it. Barring a series of upsets where Pitt, Uconn, Louisville etc are all taken out, UNC will not be cutting down any championship nets this year. The only way that happens is if none of those other teams make it to the title game which is unlikely.

Kleenex may as well ship a pallet of tissues to Chapel Hill now so that strung out meth addict looking Hansborough can dry his generous supply of eyeball, because he will certainly be crying us a river soon enough.

Danny Green game is probably the most adaptable to the NBA, so if he works hard enough, he should make a pretty good pro. Wayne Ellington on the hand, needs to stay.

Ellington has been way too inconsistent this season, and his defense leaves a lot to be desired. It is the reason he had to pull out of the draft. He gets torch him on a pretty regular basis. He had a great all-around game against Duke, though.

Danny Green has all the tools to be a good pro. He will get drafted late, likely in the second round, but he'll stick on a team.

Hansbrough will get picked late in the second round. Scouts agree that he will be a good bench/role player with his intensity and expanding game, but he is a low risk/low reward type.

And how about Ed Davis? I am not saying he is ready, but the NBA drafts on potential. 6'11" with good instincts, can jump out the gym, great defensively...

I meant late in the first round for Hansbrough

hansbrough will be late first round/early second round.
