Q&A with Bruce Weber

How concerned are you that [McCamey] will leave?
I'm concerned. You know, if he's a first-round pick, I'm happy for him. He's got to go. Does it hurt us? Yeah, it hurts us. But a kid only has that window. If he's not ready my concern is to make sure he does everything right, so he doesn't get himself in trouble. Whether that's the agents, taking care of his classroom stuff, so he doesn't get himself in trouble. I don't want him hurt for life because some guy on the street told him, "The NBA guys don't know what they're talking about, you're a first-round pick."
