Kevin
Love: Agent reportedly hired. I'm going to disagree with my man
E's assessment and say that Love
is worth the saliva. No, his measurables aren't great, and he could be in
better shape, but I think he's actually kind of a sure thing. Not a sure thing
to be a 12-year All-Star, but a sure thing to be at least pretty good. He's a
freshman with a ton of post moves, great passing ability (and not just on those
long outlet passes) and basketball sense out the wazoo. I'd buy stock in Kevin
Love as a pro.
Darren
Collison: Agent reportedly hired. For whatever the reason, he
seems itching to go pro, and that's fine. He'll probably be a non-lottery
first-rounder, but I think he'd benefit from another year, adding a few more
things to his game, and trying again next year when Derrick Rose, OJ Mayo, and
Jerryd Bayless aren't around.
Chase
Budinger: Agent not hired. Any agent that would tell Chase
Budinger that he's ready for the NBA right now and would be a lottery prick (whoops)
should be stripped of his license, put in jail, and have to legally change his
name to "Fibbyface Liar Von BurningPants."
Terrence
Williams: Returning to school. Not only is Williams making the
right decision by returning to Louisville, but he's also dishing out sweet
quotes at the same time: "There are too many sharks in this year," Williams said. "Next year it'll be fish and seaweed."
Donte
Green: No word on an agent. It would be a shame if he didn't
return. He'll really get a chance to shine next year at Syracuse, and I was
looking forward to seeing what Jim Boeheim could do with that same roster and
another year of experience under their belts.
Earl
Clark: No decision made yet on an agent. He's going to be a fine
NBA player, but again, I think another year would be a good idea for him.
According to his dad, the NBA's always been his dream and he thinks he's
"as close as he can get right now." He's close. But he could be in a
better position. He would be if he waited a year, and built on the reputation he
started to establish this year.
Ronald
Steele. Agent not hired. He didn't play a game this season
following three knee surgeries. You'll see him back at Alabama next year.
Marreese
Speights. Agent not hired. You'll see him back at Florida next
year.
Anthony
Randolph. Agent not hired. My guess is that he will hire one,
though, as soon as people start telling him he's a lottery pick. And he will be.
Sorry, LSU. Your coaching job just got a little less attractive.

Presumably a type, but still ... Excellent.
