Havent seen enough of Lovett yet but I think we will have a great 4 guard rotation next year, though I think Ellson will see some time as a small forward, Eillison at this point is likely the 4th guard, will have to fight Lovett for third spot. Not if Lovett isn't here.I didn't see Lovett on the bench ---> Lovett was not on the bench --> Is Lovett transferring ---> Lovett has transferred -----> Who will fill Lovett's scholarship ----> Our new PG, Malik EllisonSounds about right.You forgot Ellison is better than Lovett.Now its completeIn fairness I think the Ellison thing is just a way of coping with the possibility of Lovett leaving. Would be like talking yourself into an ugly girl as a replacement for your hot girlfriend dumping you.BTW I did not see anyone actually say Ellison was better than Lovett. Does Pervis post on here?

FWIW Sheed is preparing to go overseas within the coming days per his Twitter feed. Hope the distance helps him mature, guess the details will come out soon enough.

The year of the last NBA lockout JR Smith went to China to play and missed every practice. EVERY PRACTICE. I think he wound up owing them money. I think Rysheed attempting to commute from Philly to "oversees" will rival that situation.
We're a country of about 300million people. About 10 guys on every nba team are assured a spot in the league next year. That's 300 guaranteed nba players. 1 in a million kids can rely purely on basketball skill to earn a living.Rysheed is not one in a million. These kids need to understand how long of a shot it is for even the best of them to make (and stick) in the NBA. If basketball is the only thing you've ever focused on... chances are astronomically high that you're making a mistake.
Rysheed actually had a decent shot based on his size and talent but royally messed it up.

The one after Dom dunked on that big white Gophers head and 3'lo saved the out of bounds ball than hit a 4 point play.I think Jordan had about 19 turnovers in that one.
