     In all honesty how good do you think this team would be if Lorenzo Brown & C.J. Leslie returned?

     I dont think they would be a lot better, not sure if they’d be worse either. TJ Warren is getting a lot of minutes that CJ Leslie would of got, and as we saw last year despite being incredibly efficient, they didnt give enough minutes or shots to TJ. Lorenzo might of helped out a bit but again, I’m not sure they would be a lot better because being by himself has let TJ blossom.

     CJ Leslie is one of the most dissappointing college basketball players I can remember in recent memory.  I don’t remember where he was ranked in his class, but he was a hamburger all-american and a Jordan Brand Classic participant.  I remember thinking this guy was a flat out athletic stud.  After NC State had that huge road win against Duke last year, I don’t think they performed well after that.  CJ declared for the draft last year and went undrafted.  I had to look up where he was playing and it said he was with the Erie Bayhawks.  A really dissappointing college career when he could’ve been an all-american.  I don’t know what held him back.

       I had watched John Wall and CJ Leslie a lot in High School and had always thought that CJ had just as much upside.  The guy is a freak of nature athletically and some things he did on the court in high school were down right illeagal.  Between the ears he is just not all there.  I thought he would end up being Josh Smith with a better jumpshot.

    I thought they were going to be a potential Final 4 team last year and they weren’t….so based on that I will say not all that much better.

     they wouldve been the same as they were last year.  remember, they were underrated the year before and last year added much more talent…got rated high…which was fair considering the talent increase…but then finished with the same record.  Mark Gottfried proved right there that he is a good coach but a "plateau" coach.  more talent and experience doesnt necessarily make his teams better.  They are lucky that Warren didnt transfer.  I believe this is because he didnt want to wait 2 years before getting to the NBA.  I am sure he will declare this year.
