Donte Greene Leaves…

…and that doesn’t signify the arrival of spring.

According to Syracuse.com Donte Greene is headed to the NBA after his freshman year. Now, don’t get me wrong, Greene is a solid b-baller, but this is a mistake. He’s simply not primed and ready to match up against NBA players. Even one more year and he’d be much more of an NBA contender. There are areas of his game that just need improvement including: defense, to the hoop moves, and better judgment with his shot selection.

Syracuse had a rough year, and the loss of Greene is going that any, but they will have a solid line-up with Flynn stepping up at the point guard role, Harris developing as an all around player and the return of Devendorf and Rautins.

Greene played a pivotal role, that’s for certain, and even though this is bad news for ‘Cuse hoops, it’s just may be worst news for Greene. He just doesn’t realize it yet.
