Kevin Durant at Texas??

Question

He said he was staying, then he said he hadnt thought about it yet, then he said he was staying, then he said he didnt know, now he says hes staying


think he will stay or go? NOT WHETHER HE SHOULD OR NOT, but whether he actually will

Answer 1

he is a freshman he is young now alot people are putting prressure on him like the boston celtics makin contact with his family he still has time 2 decide what he wants 2 do if he changes his mind os many times its normall with everybody putting pressure on him i think he will stay

Answer 2

He will go. If he enters this season, worst case scenario is that he ends up the #3 pick overall, because I have Oden, Durant, and Noah going 1-2-3 not necessarily in that order. Many debated if Tyrus Thomas of LSU should have came out last year. He hasnt had a dominant rookie season, but he's getting paid millions to do what he would have done in college, which is refine his game. Only because of the NBA rule change is college now SOMEWHAT relevant. Enter the draft Durant and enter it now.

Answer 3

According to sports talk radio (specifically Big 12 Conference) out of Kansas City, rumor has it that Durant hasn't been attending classes. Bobby Knight himself made some comments on this.

If he's not going to class, wouldn't that indicate he's gonna accept the top NBA pick, take the money and run as fast as he can.

Not sure he has much to gain by staying. Would he want to possibly risk an injury that could devastate his future as a player?

What degree could he acquire that will land him over 100 million bucks over the next seven years?

I'll put my money down on the NBA come draft day.

Answer 4

He'll go. No way he can pass up millions in endorsements and guaranteed money now to risk getting hurt at Texas. The NBA is willing to pay, so what would keep him from going? A long-shot of winning a NCAA championship with no supporting cast? There is nothing to keep him at Texas. I mean absolutely nothing. He can still get an education via online if that's important to him.

This is why the 1-year collegiate rule has to go. It's a bad rule and will totally screw with collegiate basketball.

Answer 5

He will go to the NBA. There is no way his draft stock can go any higher. He won't make more money by staying in college another year, in fact it may cost him. Right now he is the most talked about name in NCAA basketball except for Greg Oden. That will translate into many zeros on his paycheck. Why stay and risk injury before you can sign a huge contract?

Answer 6

He should probably go pro. He is going top 5 in draft easily. He is losing a lot of money staying at Texas. If he stays he risks getting hurt or just not being as sensational as he was this year, which can make him get drafted later. Joakim Noah for example just because he stayed this year Al Horford could get picked over him and he will go lower than he wouldv'e if he went last year.

Answer 7

I think he will not stay, he has been quoted has saying that the decision will be left in his parent's hands(hoopshype.com). If I was his mother and I knew my boy was only taking one class to play ball in college, and he has a chance to earn 30+ million dollars from contract with Nike. I would tell him to go pro, it's obvious to me with the one class thing he is just biding time for the NBA, he's going pro.

Answer 8

Yeah Yeah whatever. Now gimme the 10 points.

Answer 9

i think he's going to the nba because there is so much money involved. also if you knew you were as good as he is, then i would definitely go pro.

Answer 10

Of course he's going. Why is this even a question? Even if he really likes college -- which I doubt -- c'mon, with what he'll make he could buy his own.
