Edmond Sumner

Considering his injury past, I didn't fault him in the least for leaving then and I don't fault him now. I just hope he's able to get a healthy season in and eventually crack the Pacers' roster.

He even said that it was the unknown of "when" he'd be back that led him to declare for the draft. If he'd known he'd have been ready by Dec, he said he'd have come back, but not knowing made it a better decision to leave when he did. Love the kid and think he probably played it correctly.

Yeah, and his current return was the best-case scenario. He could have been delayed further.

Any chance we can permanently pawn you off to the OSU/UK boards? Would accept Cleveland State if they have one as well.
