At this point, I'm just not sure what to think about him.Quote:

I think he should come back and show he can dominate the college game, then go pro. I want the best for him however.
Yeah, Newman's production has been disappointing but it stems from the hype more than anything.
Hood averaged 10.3 pts, 5 rebs a game as a freshman.
Newman 11 pts 2 assist.
Hood finished up well at Duke and has a NBA career.
Newman isn't the next MJ or Kobe, like we led ourselves to believe but he will be a NBA player.
Whether he stays or goes I think we all agree on that.Quote:

Well Malik had a very good 7 to 8 game stretch which is the whole reason he still has a double digit scoring average. However, before that and after have been disappointing. Hood certainly had a more consistent freshman season while playing on a team with much more overall talent, but nobody was ever thinking Hood was coming in at the level of a one and done player like Newman was advertised to be.Quote:

I'm not sure why some of y'all dont like seeing him criticized but don't mind criticizing Ready who has a tenth of the talent Newman has.
Good point... Ready also has been hurt this yearQuote:
