If the Heels happen to win how many of the big three leaves?

 

[Clay]

wouldn't be surprised if they all did

 

[The Brain]

Depends on stock.

 

[mathmajors]

Hickson declared but won't hire an agent. He needs to stay.

 

[PantherPaul]

Win or lose I don't "think" Tyler leaves. Lawson I have heard is gone which sucks. Ellington would probably leave as well if the win

 

[UncOverDukeEasy]

I actually don't expect any of them to leave. Tyler isn't all that interested in the NBA - probably has to do with his family not needing money. Would hate to see Ty or Wayne leave early, but you kinda have to expect it nowadays. I really wish Marcus Ginyard would just 'leave'. Will Graves has been playing pretty well, so he could be a real decent contributor next year.

Damn man you are delusional. It doesn't have shit to do with his families money and Tyler not interested in the NBA? You expect him not to play when he is drafted?

Ginyards contributions are never seen in the box score. He probably is the teams best defender. Graves hasn't shown me anything this year as evidence by his lack of playing time. Anyone that can make QT look invaluable obviously isn't going to make a difference. Like I said Ty Lawson is the only one of the big three that I would almost guarantee you would leave win or lose

 

[UncOverDukeEasy]

He's the best defender - you're right. Problem is he tries to do way too much more than just defend. If he's not a foot from the basket with nobody guarding him, then he shouldn't be shooting. Period.

And I'm not getting into an argument about whether Tyler wants to go to the NBA or whether he doesn't. He seems to have a good attitude about the NBA and he seems to have realistic expectations there. I think (along with most college basketball commentators that I've listened to) that Tyler has a good perspective on college and the NBA.
Of course, neither of us know him, so who knows what he's thinking? If it happens, it happens. If not, great. Roy was lucky to have coached him for 3 years.
