<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">TALLAHASSEE -- Florida State sophomore guard Von Wafer has declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft, a decision that drew an, "Oh, no" response from one scout. Long-time Seattle Supersonics scout Yvan Kelly, a regular at Florida State home games over the course of Wafer's career, was surprised by the decision. "It is [a surprise] for those of us who can view this objectively," Kelly said. "There's not going to be a guaranteed contract for this young man." Ray P. Johnson, Wafer's father, notified Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton of his son's decision while Hamilton was attending the Final Four. "I anticipated this, but I could have been wrong," Hamilton said. "I've always thought that Von has demonstrated that he has tremendous potential. I think it's a matter of time before he develops and realizes his full potential." Wafer averaged a team-leading 12.5 points during a season of highs and lows. The highlight was a career-high 30 points, including seven 3-pointers, in an upset of Wake Forest. Wafer also sat out two single-game suspensions for disciplinary reasons and had just one field goal over the last three games, when coaches cut his playing time in half, or more, in part because of his defensive shortcomings. "This has always been a dream of mine," Wafer said in a statement through FSU. "I feel this is the closest I have been, so I wanted to go ahead and grab the chance. I believe in myself and believe I can make it happen." At best, he will be a longshot to earn an invitation to the Chicago pre-draft camp, let alone a spot in the two-round draft. NBA director of scouting Marty Blake has a hand in determining the invitees to the league-run camp, critical to underclassmen hoping to make the leap. When asked what chance Wafer had of earning an invitation, Blake said: "To do what?" </div> Source
Bad descision. Wafer isn't ready to play in the next level yet, he needs to stay for another 1-2 years before he considered that. But who knows, he might be that undrafted suprise like a Marquis Daniels, we'll see.
Wafer had a hot first half v Wake,over 20 pt,cooled and FSU's little point G was the key at the end,and one great half just is not enough to prove you can step to the next level. Can you spell NBDL,Von?
