Is there any way Newman leaves early?

How is he playing out of position? He's splitting pretty much equal time at this point between the 1 and the 2 so he's definitely playing his projected NBA position a decent amount of time. He definitely won't be a 3.

No way in hell he should go. Will he? Wouldn't be surprised either way.

A part of me hates that we have to have this thread after every game. I know everyone here wishes he was was he was billed to be, but he just isn't. Not even close. He clearly needs to stay in college for the foreseeable future. And that isn't said with selfish desires of wanting him back next year, because honestly he hasn't shown anything we shouldn't be able to easily replace. As a Bulldog, I'm pulling for things to work out for him, but his camp (incl Howland) has set it up for this discussion to be had. In retrospect I'm sure they wish they would have tempered the hype instead of feed it. Nevermind being a one-and-done or NBA player at all, he needs to focus on trying to be a consistently good college player.
