The Daily OrangeMBB | Memphis grabs Greene at No. 28, trades him to Houston
Abstract:
After a draft workout with the Philadelphia 76ers two weeks ago, Donte Greene predicted he would end up a lottery pick in Thursday's NBA Draft.
Not quite.
The former Syracuse forward nearly tumbled out of the first round - and its guaranteed millions - before he was scooped up, 28th overall, by the Memphis Grizzlies and subsequently dealt to the Houston Rockets as part of a three-team deal....

Well, let this be a lesson to every mediocre freshman who thinks he will be a lottery pick. The sad thing is if he had stayed in school and performed at a high level for a year (Greene rarely looked like the best player on the court this year) he would have got a lot more guaranteed money and a much better chance at ever getting out of the NBADL.

I don't understand why everyone is hating/turning on Donte for making his own decisions that were, in fact, what was best for Donte and his family. Let the man live! He is actually a great and fun person to be around... its so easy for everyone to judge and criticize him because they're not in the situation themselves UGHHHHH
