    http://blog.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/...s_donte_gr.html<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Everyone has an opinion about whether Syracuse University's Donte Greene should leave for the NBA or return for his sophomore season. But some opinions are worth more than others.

    In his NBA Draft Watch, ESPN's Chad Ford lists Greene among those who made The Wrong Move by entering the draft.

    Here's what Ford wrote about Greene:

    <blockquote>Greene also has the talent of a top-5 pick, but a late-season swoon hurt his stock among scouts. He has a chance as a late lottery pick this year, but next year he could be ranked in the preseason Top 5.</blockquote> Of course, Greene still hasn't signed with an agent, so the possibility still exists that he could pull out of the draft and return to Syracuse for the 2008-09 season.</div>

    I agree. Although, at this point, I'd have to say good riddance to bad rubbish.

    I do, however, wish him all the best in the NBA. Which, in my opinion, is where he belongs (with the way he plays...). He always looked out of place with Syracuse.

    That said, I can't wait to see what the new guys can do.

    Should have went back but glad he's moving up. Should be a good rookie next year.

    Idiotic shot selection. Played for himself. Rarely played defense, other than to get stats. Barely ever hustled. Barely ever posted up.

    He pissed me off to no ends. Plus, he was clueless in the zone. Everyone would be in sync, but him.

    You can't say that before you know what team he is on. There are some teams that he will fit well but he might not be drafted there.
