I've got no problem with him going to N Ariz. Kid can do

whatever he wants. BTW, he ain't making the NBA.

The problem comes when someone suggests VT would somehow be better with him on the team, and uses his 18ppg scoring average to try to "prove" it. That doesn’t allow for his 21% turnover rate in conference (for a PG!), and his terrible defense, not to mention that he's a volume-shooting PG who's getting his points by shooting a ton.

Cone seems to be a good kid. But he is what he is as a basketball player, and he's certainly better off where he is than at VT.
