Good article on the NBA Draft, the upcoming age limit, and LSU's Tyrus Thomas. According to the author, "Thomas is being drafted on potential. But potential is the nice way to say it. Let's call it what it really is: fear. It's fear by every NBA team that they're going to miss on the next great thing. In a draft with no high school players, Thomas is the closest thing to a prep-turned-pro." So do you think it was a mistake for him to come out so soon? Should he have returned to LSU, worked on his game and improved his draft status? Or are those millions too much to pass up?
