Here is a guy pining away for the NBA and but for the NBA rule, would go there right away.

Then they position as this nice Mormon kid who doesn't think about fame and fortune. They make allusions to academics, even though he'll barely get his books before he leaves. Clever marketing but I feel very used.

Why LDS would root for him is beyond me, but I generally eschew the NBA, given its group of thugs and criminals.
That's funny Arch, you were hustling to minimize expectations so that CB doesn't bad mouth him when this inevitable day came.
