Dario Saric pulls out
I think it's a very good decision, as I've said before he's really just a skinny long college freshman that isn't sure what position he'll play.
If Dario spends the whole of next year working on his game and body - I think he can be a late lottery selection even in next year's loaded draft.
I think it's also best to play in the NBA the very next season after you're drafted, who knows what can happen in a year, maybe the team that drafted you won't want you as much.
Like with Motiejunas, he came into a team extremely loaded at his position, I bet Houson wouldn't have drafted him in the 2012 draft.
I'm now even more excited about the 2014 draft, damn.
I find it ironic how a month ago you disagreed with me when I brought it up just to agree now.
"IT doesn't matter, these guys are already playing pro overseas and majority of them who are not drafted in the lottery stay overseas for a couple more years. College players put the school and high school at a disadvantage because of recuriting."
Does that look familiar?
It does suck they can pull out this late, but it's still better than drafting them and they never come over like Fran Vasquez. Just think how pissed you'd be if your team drafted a guy in the lottery who decided to keep playing overseas for the rest of his career?
I think its a nice draft class with a lot of players who can play important roles for teams. I don't think you'll find franchise players in this draft but a lot of solid players all the way into the 40 pick selections.
NBA is filled with franchise players and next draft class has a lot of high potential players, so it'll be hard to expect for this class to produce mega star talent.

We make decision this morning that we will withdraw Dario from the 2013 draft

Saric has until June 17 to change his mind again, that is the deadline to withdraw from the draft.
Saric was projected to be a first round pick, DraftExpress had him going No. 21 although others think he could be as high as a late lottery selection. He’s a vintage European big man — 6’10” but he plays like a small forward. He sees the court well, is a great ball handler and passer. His jump shot could use to be steadier and he needs to get stronger, but there is potential there.
That potential appears headed back to Croatia for another season.
