    blah blah blah
    "The school has called a "major news conference,'' for Friday at 5 p.m. ET with Marcus and Western Kentucky coach Dennis Felton. Marcus needs to take one summer-school class to earn his college degree and earn back his fourth season of eligibility after being ineligible for his freshman season at the school."
    yadda yadda...

    Changes the 15th pick don't ya think?

    I don't think he was a top 15 pick

    surely not a lock for the top 15
    I don't see how it affects our top 2 picks

    Well, hope "Mr. Lockdown" doesn't hurt himself this season

    If the Rockets were thinking about trading down for a couple picks so that they could get both a 3 and a 5, there is now one less 5 for them to go after. Weren't the rumors that the Rockets were high on Marcus? This might push them even further into the Ming direction.

    He WILL be a top 8 pick in the draft next year.
    Prolly a top 5.

    He has a injured foot and once the NBA teams heard about this his stock would have fallen so he pulled out.
