Its official Plaisted declared for the NBA draft......
 

He will not hire an agent and said he is leaving open the possibility of returning for his senior season.

Poor defender. Doesn't play above the rim in traffic. Can't face up. Can't make free throws.

Yeah, he's got a great future in the NBA.

His wife's addictions must really be cutting into their checkbook.

Dude needs cash and he needs it now.

It seems that many of the board posting cougar fans want to see Plaisted fail. Is there any reason for this?

We dont' want to see him fail. We just know he will.

He's not called "peanut-brain" for no reason.

I dont think that people WANT to see him fail.

I just think BYU fans are USED to seeing him fail.

Wow, no class whatsoever. I'm disappointed that you would bring Mrs. Plaisted into this, Triplet. Even jokingly, I guess.

Trent is a great athlete, perhaps better in perception than reality because there is what one might call a paucity of athletic BYU big men. However, he isn't a great basketball player and his athleticism will be neutralized in the NBA by better athletes.

I want the guy to succeed as a pro and I think he will...just not in the NBA. My guess is that he knows that and will bolt to Europe to play pro. I bet he concludes that he is not NBA material and another year at BYU isn't going to get him any closer. However, he is ready for Europe now and since that is his future, no reason to stay another year at BYU. It won't make him any more money.

Year 1: this is a rough, but great player with potential!!!! :)
Year 2: where is the improvement????!!! :(
Year 3: Ok, he's a little bit better, but is this all? :(
