Consider this an excerpt from a book of rebuttals.This is for anyone who over the next several days will criticize Julian Wright's decision, which Monday afternoon he said is to forego two years of eligibility and enter this June's NBA Draft, where he will likely be a lottery selection and begin life in the real world. [Wright][1], KU's very own highlight waiting to happen over the past two seasons, was in a very favorable position at the season's end. Whether he stayed for his junior season and graduated next May, or threw his name into the potential lottery hat, he couldn't go wrong. If he stayed, he was a model of what college athletics are supposed to be. If he went, he was simply striking while his stock was as high as it could possibly go.But we all know that some people around here can be irrational come times and decisions like these. Shoot, Wright is just the third KU player since 1998 to leave early for the NBA Draft, and is the first sophomore in KU history to enter his name. For a powerhouse program with the television and national media exposure KU has, plus the winning tradition, that's incredible.But before you can snap back, I've got you covered...somewhat. Here's a few arguments against why some might see Julian Wright bolting a mistake.He doesn't have a defined position yet in the NBA. He's not big enough to play the 4, but can't shoot well enough to play the 3.You know who else this was said about a few years back? [Shawn Marion][2] of the Phoenix Suns, who [coming out of UNLV in 1999][3] had the same scarlet letter applied to his reputation, and now is a three-time NBA all-star on the league's best team and is in the prime of his career.Leaving UNLV, Marion was a 6-foot-7, 210-pound project who couldn't shoot worth a lick, but man, did he have a guard's athletic ability and was a ferocious rebounder (Sound familiar?). He averaged a modest 10.2 points per game as a rookie, took down 6.5 boards a night and shot an atrocious 18.2 percent from three-point range. Now, at 228 pounds in his eighth NBA season, his shot still looks as awkward as anything you'll see on an NBA floor, but he shoots 34.3 percent from deep and he has averaged a double-double for four straight seasons. Plus, don't forget, he's now a household name to much of the country.Wright was second among this season's regular rotation in field goal percentage, connecting on 54.9 percent of his shots thanks in large part to his ability to stay close to the rim and play above it. His outside game is lacking, as he was just 3-of-13 from deep, and he needs to become better than the 61.3 percent free throw shooter he currently is. He would benefit from being in a wide-open offensive NBA system such as the one Marion is a part of.But there's no need to freak out in thinking that just because Wright is going to the NBA, he's going to up and magically stop developing. That tends to be a popular perception, but you know, there's coaches and trainers there, too. Some might have forgotten that. The NBA is not just an extension of the And One mixtapes.Wright's actually probably a better prospect coming out of KU than Marion was coming out of Vegas. He's bigger (6-foot-8, 225 pounds) and played in a much more competitive, winning program in college where he was subjected to plenty more high-pressure, big-game gut-check moments than Marion was.The chances of his career emulating Marion's by the book are unlikely, but it's one example of why not to panic. Wright hasn't even come close to hitting his ceiling. Thought if he were put in a system much like the one Phoenix runs on, he'd flourish without a question.By the way, Marion was picked ninth that year. Don't expect Wright to go much lower than that, if lower at all.He needs to learn to calm down and be more consistent.Julian Wright will never be more calmed down than he is now. He'll always have that tendency to run around like a chicken sans head, but that's just his nature. He's an excited person. That just doesn't change. And for as many moments like [these][4] as he'll have down the road, there'll be four times as many of [these][5]. Consistency is a throwaway term as far as NBA players are concerned. How many guys in the league not named [Bryant][6], [Iverson][7], [James][8] or [Wade]9 are consistent night-in and night-out? Everyone has some down games over the course of an 82-game regular season. Right now, he's consistent enough.One more year would really help Julian Wright, and it might even improve his draft stock.As far as Wright's skill set is concerned, the only things another year would truly improve could be his outside shot and his free throw touch. And hey, not sure if you knew this or not, but on top of still having coaches in the NBA, they even have practice facilities and - gasp - baskets in the gym! Again, just because you go to the NBA, it doesn't mean development suddenly ceases to exist.The fact is Julian Wright is big, athletic, can run the floor like a guard, can find teammates on the break, can rebound, can block shots and can score around the basket. That's more than enough to make him effective in an NBA game right now.At the moment, Wright is a top-ten pick, and there's really not much debate on that. By coming back next season, Wright would probably, at best, improve his spot in the draft by two or three slots, max. Why risk it?He should come back to take KU to the Final Four.Now Julian Wright is a great kid, don't get me wrong. He's very active on campus, loves Lawrence, and respects the tradition of Kansas basketball.But you know who put this situation best? Former Jayhawk [Keith Langford][10], who once said that had he hit two more free throws in the 2003 National Championship game loss to Syracuse, he might have bolted for the NBA following that season. He once compared the prospects of an up-and-coming college hoopster to a law student, asking the question: If you're in your first year of law school and some law firm comes and offers you a job as a lawyer, meaning you don't have to complete law school, wouldn't you take it?Going to the Final Four would be nice for Wright and Co., but is it truly worth the risk when the reward is right in front of your face for the taking? That's more of a wish for the fans than the players. Blue chip guys like Wright, who was a McDonald's All-American in 2005, need to look out for themselves and their families first and foremost. That's what he's doing right here.He didn't play well at all in San Jose. How could he leave on a sour note?Well, you can't negate facts. In two games in San Jose - against SIU and UCLA - Wright was just 7-of-14 from the floor, scored 15 points, had nine rebounds and averaged just 28.5 minutes per contest (Not bad, considering he averaged 27.6 per for the season). Moving away from what's on paper, Wright was far from his usual self in the sense that he didn't effect either game like he normally had a tendency to do in a KU uniform, whether it be by making the highlight reel or making momentum-changing plays.But what keeps San Jose from being much of an issue is that Wright played well in front of NBA scouts throughout the year. So well that one weekend could hardly ruin his draft stock, given how potential-driven the NBA Draft is anyway. For example, given Florida's winning of its second straight NCAA crown, it'd be hard for scouts to forget about Wright's 21-point, 10-rebound showing in a [November overtime win over the then-No. 1 Gators][11]. He also dropped a 33-point bomb [at Missouri on Feb. 10][12].In those games, Wright was in what he likes to call 'Beast Mode.' Scouts are well aware of that inner-monster. They've seen plenty of it.But he said he was coming back for his junior year...So what? Things change. He's too young of a kid and has far too big of a future to be held accountable for anything such as that when the question was fired at him repeatedly by the local media. Think back to when you were 19 years old (Wright turns 20 on May 20th), how many things you said you planned on doing were never followed through on? Off the top of my head, personally, I have a few. Nothing wrong with that, because you were a kid. Just like Wright is.As far as the graduation issue goes, Wright can always come back and take care of that down the road or take online courses. The University of Kansas is going nowhere. It's not going to break apart from the continental United States like Los Angeles will at some point. Life's too short to not take what you can get when you can get it, and Julian Wright has millions of dollars on the table for the taking. Grab it, young man. Grab it.Instead, there might a bigger issue at hand...This is proof of what can happen when a team is loaded with McDonald's talent. There's nothing wrong with it, because at a school like Kansas, you need to have that type of talent to stay competitive. But instead, it looks like the growing trend of players not fulfilling four-year scholarships might have finally reached Lawrence. As Wright is only the fifth player in KU history to leave school early for the NBA.Don't be surprised if this continues to grow. Brandon Rush could announce the same thing in coming weeks, and a year from now it could be Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur. The KU faithful should just be happy it took this long for the epidemic to reach Allen Fieldhouse.And now for the fallout from Wright's decision...-Both [nbadraft.net][13] and [draftexpress.com][14] have already updated their mock drafts with the actual NBA Draft still more than two months away.The first site has Wright as the ninth overall selection (Sidenote: Marion was the ninth pick as well), and should the lottery fall in place of how teams are slotted in the standings right now, that pick would send him to the Sacramento Kings. In a similar format, draftexpress.com projects Wright going eighth overall to the Seattle Sonics.Also making an appearance on both mock drafts is Brandon Rush, who has yet to announce his future plans. On nbadraft.net, he's the No. 2 pick in the second round, going to the Boston Celtics. That pick is essentially another first round pick, and based on their predictions, he'd be paired in a Celtic rookie class with Texas' Kevin Durant. Not a bad trio of wings if you combine those two with former Jayhawk Paul Pierce. On draftexpress.com, he's picked to go No. 21 overall to the Washington Wizards.-This news on Wright makes next year's starting lineup look potentially very interesting. If Rush leaves, KU would almost have to go with a starting lineup including Sherron Collins, Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers, meaning having three starters who are 6-foot-1 or shorter. They'd be coupled with Darrell Arthur and either Darnell Jackson or Sasha Kaun. The bench would be relatively thin compared to this season, consisting of either Jackson and Kaun, freshman Cole Aldrich and a race for the eighth-man spot between Rodrick Stewart, Brady Morningstar and freshman Tyrel Reed. In other words, if Rush also leaves, don't expect as much versatility on next year's roster as this year's showed. After all, that would essentially be a team with only one potential small forward (Stewart) in its nine-man rotation.Discuss amongst yourselves.KUSports.com editor Ryan Greene can be reached at rgreene@ljworld.com, or by phone at (785) 832-6357.

Great arguments Ryan, other than using Langford's stupid law school analogy. No, you wouldn't leave law school to become a lawyer early because you haven't passed the BAR yet. Now if only the NBA had handling/outside shooting tests that Julian had to pass, that'd be a good comparison. Best of luck Julian - wish we had you for one more year.

I am 25.
I graduated from KU.
Now, I work everyday of a five day week. Everyday I also pray to God for the impossible to happen... Me winning the Powerball.
Julian has the winning powerball ticket in his hand and all he has to do is claim his money.
How many people (yourself included) would put that ticket in their pocket for a year before they turned it in?
No one would do that... Why? You could lose the ticket.
Best of luck in the NBA Julian. Enjoy becoming rich playing a game you love. Everyone would do the same thing if they were in your shoes. Unless they were idiots.

Rumors around campus state that Chalmers may test the waters without an agent along with Rush. Also, I heard that Sherron Collins may be looking to transfer closer to Chicago. Heard he's got 9 reasons, or should I say months to why he'd transfer....if you catch my drift.
If that's the case my friends, we'll be towards the bottom of any Final Four hopes or top 10 aspirations. You guys have said time and time again (Green, Keegan, Romary, etc) that the NBA likes defensive players so why wouldn't Rush be picked higher than Julian? Rush seems to have far more potential and was a better rebounder than Julian. Rush too can have those high point games and if consistency is not an issue than I still don't see how B-rush was overlooked as a lesser pick than JuJu. Doesn't make sense. Hey, we've all watched more games than any NBA scout I'm sure and we probably have a better inclination of what is really suited up on KU's bench.
I can't believe I might be saying this, but bring on KU football.......please. Put me out of my misery with these b-ball coaching carousels, nba draft pics, and transfer situations......aye carumba. I really think the NBA should change the rule to 3 or 4yrs minimum. The one thing the NBA lacks is maturity in its players. I'm sure that all these young-guns having plenty of money in their has also attributed to the "thugness" which seems to overwhelm and tarnish the NBA. And people really wonder why the NBA has lost its flare.....give me a break. I can't stand watching the stuff.

I don't have any inside information here, but Julian's sudden change of heart makes me wonder if he has some inside knowledge of Brandon Rush's plans. Think about it. If Julian thinks Brandon's gone, he might assume that he will be asked to play the 3 (small forward) next year. Clearly, in very limited duty as the 3 this year, Julian struggled, even though he projects in the NBA as a 3. Therefore, if he assumes he might struggle (nobody would blame him if the transition takes a while), his draft stock might slide a bit. Therefore, if he thinks Brandon might leave, he'd be VERY smart to leave now before he is potentially exposed and hurts his draft position next year. Even if he plays out of this world as a 3 next year, he's probably not going to improve much more than a spot or 2 in the draft, so it makes sense to take the money now when it's clearly on the table in front of him. Good luck, Julian.

I feel as bad right now as K-State fans did the day Huggins bailed.
Honestly, I sat here this entire season thinking the entire team would be intact next year because, simply put, they were all very good, but just not quite good enough to go pro.
And what happens? Some "buddies", or some dips&%t agent tells Julian NotWright he is a LOCK for lottery pick status. The 10-15 range is NEVER a lock for anything.
Let me ask you this about Julian: Name me five starting big men today in the NBA that would not destroy him on the blocks. He is gonna be a bench warmer for three years, or play for the absolute worst teams your career could ask for (Atlanta, Golden State, the career killers).
We say "take the money while it is on the table," but really, is it on the table so heavily that another year wouldn't pile more bread there?
Here is how the draft goes, for those that generally don't watch it... Every year we have our professional "draft list" predictions, and every year they are skewed way off. Mainly due to the influx of overseas players, because very few scouts outside of the NBA actually go and look at them, or know they exist.
What does this mean for Julian? Well, presuming Oden and Durant come out, throw in at least three of Florida's players, and then a handful of overseas gentleman, he has VERY little leeway if he wants to keep at his 10-15 mark. Now what if Brandon Wright comes out, Afflalo is a possibility. It wouldn't take many other top prospects from stateside or overseas to push him below the water mark.
He has none of the tools to play at small forward. And right now he has no advantages to playing at power forward in the NBA. His most marketable ability is that he can run the floor. There are only a handful of teams that stress running-and-gunning over defense and ball control, and Phoenix already has Stoudamire and Marion. If he is lucky, he could fall far enough to end up in Dallas, where they do run the ball to his style, and his rebounding would work well in their system. Of course, falling that far and warming their pine for minutes kinda defeats the entire purpose of coming out...
My biggest fear is that he will fall in the draft, we lose out on what could be an awesome season, and it is all a waste. Good lord, let me be wrong.
Should have stayed for another year as a featured star on a top-rated team, kemosabe.

There are roomers around campus that Sherron got his girl pregnant, hence the 9 "reason" or "months" reference. If that is true it's said he might wanna be closer to home.....i.e. Chicago.

How can he say that money is not a motivator? You've got to be kidding me Julian. That is such crap. Stop BS'n everyone and keep it real 'n da field. Fo' shizzle my nizzle. Unbelievable. So, if he was being offered only $60,000, but had the opportunity to go to the NBA early he would? Whatever....of course he wouldn't. Point in case. So, saying that money is not a motivator is such a load. Also, if it was not a motivator, waiting one more year or ever two more would not really have an adverse affect on his draft scenario with the NBA. Without money, the NBA wouldn't exist today in professional sports. It'd just be the ABL, which no one really cares about.
C'mon JuJu, it's like the old saying goes, "If it don't make dollaz it don't make sense!!" Can't pull one over on us.
At least Julian did have the decency to announce his enrollment to the NBA draft from the KU campus unlike some other players before him....**cough-cough** Paul Pierce **cough-cough**

It makes no sense to me. Did you guys read the article on ESPN? Wright says stuff like:
"Money has never been my motivation" and "I know it's going to be a lot of ups and downs, especially in the first year, or the second, or maybe the third," Wright said. "I'm ready for that. I'm not ready for actual playing right now. Obviously, I have a lot of work to do."
Are you kidding me? Its not about money and you're not ready for actual playing time right now then why in the world are you leaving!?!? You can get all the playing time you want next year at KU and a possible National Championship. Don't feed me this junk about it not being about the money and you're not expecting playing time. If its about the money (which it is, probably) then just SAY SO!!

It doesn't have to be about the money as much as it has to be about security. Unless Julian (or his family) is paying huge dollars for insurance to cover a possible career ending injury, going to the NBA ensures at least a modicum of career protection in the event of injury. It's not about money, it's about retirement.
If Julian's smart, and I'm betting he's a lot smarter than most who bolt to the pros, he'll put most of any signing bonus away to build a nestegg for the future. Then, when he starts earning the really big bucks he can begin rewarding himself with all the goodies he wants. If things go sour early, at least he will have his initial investment to fall back on.
Julian, you have been a tremendous asset and a fine ambassador for the University of Kansas. Wherever you play, you will always have the Kansas fans cheering for you. Make us proud!

I'm from the city where Shawn Marion played his Ju-Co, ironic, ball & still speak to him occasionally. Sure Marion has a terrible looking shot & did so at UNLV. The point is, he played 2 years at Vincennes University & 2 more at UNLV. That alone gives him an upper hand to Wright from the jump. Wright isn't close to being polished and has just made a 4-5 year stint on the pine mistake. He'll have plenty of $$$$ to watch all of his teammates play in his mansion w/ a Bentley & a 2,000" plasma HDTV. All the while glancing back at his framed KU jersey in the same room & thinkin' man I hate agents!

KUFan90, I disagree, I can't see someone with his combination of tools slipping past the top 10. The key factor everyone will look at is that Florida game. The reigning champs AND the future champs with a dominant frontcourt and playing really well... and look how Julian responds.
BUT, if you're right.. so what? The lower he goes, the better team will land him. And he's not going to end up on the bench near as much as Simien is.

Money, money, money. The question is will he be on his death bed in 50 years regretting this decision. If not, than great. If he would have stayed around to make a championship run it would of been a lot more memorable than riding the bench for the Denver Nuggets. But I dont know Julian, maybe that isnt big on the list of things to do in his lifetime.

Kevbo,
I SURE hope law school hones your ability to make a valid comparison into a cogent argument because you just whiffed with your above post. If you go to court making loose arguments like THAT, you'll be collecting unemployment. Fortunately for you, I think you mentioned that you're a first year law student.
#1: IF you were offered a job now, it wouldn't be for $2.5MILLON per year guaranteed over 3 yrs. It's not likely that you'll break your ball-point pen if you come back for your second year of law school and lose the opportunity to make $2.5M/yr.
#2: You haven't even gained the requisite knowledge to pass the bar exam yet, so there's no way you COULD take a job now. Julian doesn't have to take a bar exam. He already passed the entrance exam according to the people that count--NBA scouts.
#3: Just because YOU are not ready for the pressures of the "real world" yet doesn't mean Julian isn't ready for the pressures of the NBA.
#4: If you hate law school as much as you seem to indicate (calling it "hell"), why don't you spare the world another LAWYER and go into a different profession? The last thing we need is another Ambulance Chaser driving up our cost of living with all the superfluous litigation! If you don't enjoy it now, what makes you think you'll actually enjoy the WORK of being an attorney?

Obviously, there are plenty of people who gamble/pray to the Powerball gods for the million $ bolt of lightning. There are also plenty of people that have more realistic aspirations, so don't do Julian and others the disservice of projecting your fantasies.
I don't know Julian's family, but do know that HF is a decent suburb of Chicago, and am guessing that he and his family lead comfortable lives. I don't recall ever hearing about him coming from an oppressive socio-economic environment and needing the $ to escape it. His family is comfortable in HF, and so is he at KU. It's not about the money.
I'm also guessing that Julian didn't grow up dreaming of winning an NCAA championship with KU or any other college team. He grew up watching Micheal win NBA Championships, over, and over, and over, and hiccup, and over, and over, and over again. He also grew up watching Scottie redefine the small forward role, tho maybe it was just Chicago where we talked about point forwards. Coincidence that Julian is the same size, and aspiring to the same skill set? Unlikely.
That's undoubtedly what Julian grew up dreaming about, so he has every right to continue to chase his dream regardless of whether anyone else shares it. If there are a group of professionals that say he is ready to make his dream a reality (as they have), then he would be silly not to follow thru.
Obviously, a few people need to go get their own dream, or at least another Powerball ticket.
Good Luck Julian.

I think on the short term it's good for julian, but in the long term, if he wants a long career in the pros, there are things he could have improved with 1 more year. Good shooting and ball handling are expected of a pro, and he's just not there yet.
Players don't improve much at the Pro level if they don't play, and where he is right now isn't good enough to crack many team's rotations.
