[QUOTE="Deleted member 236589, post: 1314628"] Man, if I had a one year shot to get myself to the NBA, of that group South Carolina is the last place I'd choose. Frank Martin would definitely be an acquired taste and you had better be able to put defense and team ahead of your personal goals. If he thinks he's go down there and have the green light from the second he steps on campus, I think he's getting bad advice. South Carolina is the flavor of the month because of the Final Four. That team won because they played D, not because they had NBA lottery picks or because they were a dynamic offensively. Illinois makes sense, if his goal is to get to the next level. That's without my O & B goggles on. At Illinois, he'd be in a guard driven, high pace offense, with a lot of time and a lot of shots available...he could be a showcase player for one year. I have to believe that's what he's looking for. To gamble that one year on mixing nicely with Frank Martin.....eeeesh. [/QUOTE]
