DJ Wins Cousy Award...

DJ has been named the nations best point guard. This will only fuel the expectation that the right choice for DJ would be to go pro, even after his highly discussed troubles against Memphis and specifically Derrick Rose.

Congrats to DJ, regardless of that last game, he had a tremendous, All-American season. The Cousy Award is a big honor.

Kudos to DJ

And I suspect you're right, this is one more punch mark on the ticket stub out of town.

Derrick Rose

Is an absolute freak. He's going to be a superstar in the NBA, not just another run-of-the-mill point guard.

The fact that DJ didn't perform well against him? Yes, that's a negative for DJ, but not a lot of other point guards who are in the NBA now are going to be able to compare with Rose in a couple of years (if that long).

DJ's a great kid, a real credit to his parents and university. Academic All-America, 1st team All-America - what's left for him to prove? A championship and a degree. Since he can always come back and get the degree, that pretty much leaves championship next year - all or nothing. I really hope that's enough to bring him back, but I'm skeptical.
