His Fault

Once again one of University Of Memphis' blue chip recruits has left the program with neither party living up to expectations.  In spite of  both of them not living up to the hype. It just seems unfair that one would be leaving the program without even a guaranteed chance to compete at the next level. While the other one gets a big raise and a contract extension. For that reason more than any other I wish Adonis Thomas success in the NBA draft. Not only the draft but also  the camp. Getting drafted doesn't matter if you don't make a team.

This program has a history of using people and discarding them. Last time I saw Keith Lee he  was a security  guard at a church If Adonis Thomas doesn't get drafted he won't even get an education out of  the deal. I don't know how smart this young man was. He may not have  been able to learn the plays. Whenever he did an interview that I saw. He always had that blank stare. Like nobody was really home. All some of  these young men can do is play basketball. Since they can't enter the draft until they're nineteen. It might be to their advantage to do like Brandon Jennings did. Go away for a year and come back.  To a league still interested in you.

I'm not surprised Josh Pastner would support Thomas' decision  to leave. He never planned for him to stay anyway. Once he got him to sign his job was done. The longer AT stayed and didn't produce.  The more questions arise about his coaching ability. At some point these fans are going to realize a group of players with visions of the NBA does not a winning team make. The highlight of this players' career was the anticipation of his signing. That was  what Pastner needed for his resume. If he goes hardship and doesn't make a team. It  will be his fault.
