Q: Will Sam Young stick around for his senior year or will he enter the NBA draft?

Brian, Bridgeville

Fittipaldo: Young is playing unbelievably well right now, but these past five or six games didn't change my opinion that he should stick around for his senior year. Yes, he is an improved outside shooter, but his ball-handling skills are not there yet. And he would have to play small forward in the NBA.

Only one thing would change my mind. If the NBA general managers tell Jamie Dixon that Young is a sure-fire first-round pick, then he should go and take the money. You just hope Young doesn't get bad advice from an agent and go out on his own.
