I didn't see this article linked here. For a situation that appears to have some fluidity to it, this is a pretty clear case of jumping to conclusions. This guy may be a good journalist, but he let emotion cloud his judgment on this one.

Also, he definitely loses me with this statement-
"Most importantly, whether Swanigan plays the 4 or 5 in college will have no bearing on his pro future. If an adult told him otherwise — Barnes or anyone else — they're either manipulative or a moron."
I don't agree at all with this. CS will probably be pretty productive no matter where he goes, and end up in the NBA, but entering the draft with as few ? as possible could make him a lot more $.
