Creighton to Big East

Doug would be stupid to come back if he cares about a nice paycheck in the NBA. He loses the guy who teams have to respect on the block and the guy who feds him the ball in great scoring positions. Can Nevin johnson and Will Artino replace that? lol I dont think they will command near the respect gibbs and gregory did. Dougs looks will not be as easy due to that and due to more athletic frontlines. Look at some of the frontcourts Doug went against this year. Bradley, MSU, Evansville, and Southern all had much smaller and/or weaker opponents on Doug.

If im him I am gone because his stock will never be higher from an NBA standpoint. Dont forget only first round contracts are guaranteed in the NBA. If CU happens to get to the sweet 16 or beyond I think he is looking at a top 20 pick. If he stays next year I think we're looking at a second round guy.

I don't think conference affiliation has anything to do with whether Doug is back next year. If he is projected as a top 20 draft pick, he'll certainly be gone. If he is a borderline first round / second round draft pick and could potentially go in the second round where there is no guaranteed money, I think he'll be back. Time will tell...

This.

Conference affiliation isn't the key; where he will be drafted is the key.
