Shocker: Vitale's Emotions Prevent Rational Argument

There are plenty of things wrong with Randy Morris' apparent intention to stay in the NBA Draft this summer, but leave it to Dick Vitale to fall victim to his seemingly uncontrollable emotions and instead make a great argument that Morris in fact should leave his name in the draft.

Here's the column in question, and below is the text of my email to Dickie V:

In your June 13 column on ESPN.com, you say that the Cats' Randolph Morris should consider Ndibi Ebi's situation in Minnesota when making his decision as to whether or not to return to college next fall. While I wholeheartedly agree that Morris is not an NBA-caliber player (and neither is Ebi according to his minutes played), Ebi signed a 4 year, $4.4 million contract!!!! Dick, the problem is that these teams continue to pay kids like Ebi (and potentially Morris) millions of dollars to ride the pine. I love college basketball as much as you do, but it is completely irrational to argue that Ebi is a good example of what's wrong with kids going pro. It may be what's wrong with the NBA, but if kids like Morris look at Ebi's situation, the Ivy League and Patriot League might be the only D-I teams left next season.

Here's hoping that Randy and his dad don't read Dick's column or follow the Timberwolves.
