    Last time I checked, winning the SEC and going deep into the tourny would get him more money than losing in Rd 2 and being the 4th pick of the 2nd rd.

    i never said who would be better nor do I care. The fact Bass is gone after this season and will be rich is all I said. you can choose to hope as I do that its untrue but don't kid yourself.

    I really do think he will make a good pro, because Dupree is holding his own in the league, and Bass is the same frame, and he has a better jumpshot as he did...

    So he can be something special if he is in the right situation

    Dupree and Bass have nowhere near the same frame. Bass is taller and much more muscular. Dupree and Bass are both very athletic but Dupree had a better handle than Bass.

    But definitely not the same frame.

    Totally disagree. While dupree was a relentless, physical player, he was not even close to as physically ready for the NBA as Bass is now. Bass has an NBA body and although his game may not be completely ready (needs to work on passing out of double), he will be a top 10 pick IMO and will have no choice but to take the guaranteed contract and say goodbye to LSU.

    so, let's win it all now before bass leaves!
