    Concensus #1 pick. He's coming out. This is not like Andrew Luck staying at Stanford.

    Yeah, I'd be very surprised if he didn't. In fact, that link just says he's focused on the season and will make his decision after the season is over. It's not like he can say "Yep, I'm outta here ASAP!" during their tournament run.

    Some fans have such a defeatist mentality

    Most guys always say that till they get out of the tournament. They don't want to make it a distraction. I can't see him staying.

    hes not going to say he is coming out now is he? How would that affect team chemistry... I would be more worried if he said he was coming out now cause that would show he was a dumbass

    Yeah, because we have such a long and storied tradition of winning. Smh...

    We suck now and we have always sucked since our inception. I don't call that being a defeatist, I call it being a realist... and a Bobcats fan.

    Aside from that, yes, he can come out and say he's leaving now. Kidd-Gilchrist already has from his own team. Barnes and a few others from UNC have already said if they win it all they will leave without a doubt. So, if he didn't have any doubt, he could just say he is entering the draft when the season is over.

    We might not have a winning culture since the bobcats been here but that doesnt mean we should accept defeat. Boris has a defeatist mentality. He's french. If a player doesnt come out because he could potentially get picked by the bobcats, FUCK THEM. I dont want people like that anymore. I want somebody that wants to come here and change the culture. I want somebody that wants to get better and change the franchise. If a player has that desire, I would welcome them to the team. I have faith in Cho to stick to the plan and improve this franchise to the state where we want it to be.

    There's a difference between being a realist: "We suck and have always sucked"

    And being a defeatist: "Davis refuses to come out because NOBODY wants to play for the Bobcats wahh, we suck and we'll always suck just because we suck and everybody hates us wahhh"

    It seems like every single time player X says he wants to stay in school some of the fans go straight to the apocalypse theory. How many times do these players say they aren't leaving only to turn around and say they are after the season? The majority of them. But hey, let's revise history just because we want to be as negative as possible because we love flagellating ourselves oh so much.

    You sound like a girl having her first period.

    He could say he's going, yes. Perhaps that's not his style. He appears to have taken a more measured and professional approach to this type of questioning. He's showing that he's focused on the task at hand, winning a national championship. Others can handle this as they wish, but I do like it to be handled the way Davis is. Basically, "I'm busy right now trying to accomplish something with my teammates. Ask me a little later, Ok?"

    Davis may or may not be a Bobcat. Time will tell. I'll just say this about the situation...it can be a half full glass of water, not a half empty glass of acid. I just prefer the water is all.
