Can't say I would change anything about the past. But would've loved if he waited his turn and worked his butt off in Durham.
One thing to keep in mind is that Mike G. wouldn't even be here at this point if he stayed at Duke -- as he would have exhausted his eligibility last season. He came in with Marshall Plumlee, who redshirted his freshman year. I really liked his talent level as a young player and wish he had stuck it out. Probably could have helped the 12-13 and 13-14 teams. With that said, not sure this is an example that would suggest a mistake was made in how he was used. Mike G. couldn't even a starting job as a RS Soph. and really only earned a prominent role on a bad Syracuse team last year. This is the first year where he's actually playing like an all-conference player. Who knows what exactly went into Mike G's decision to leave -- but the decision to transfer to Syracuse clearly didn't expedite the process towards stardom. If anything, it affirmed that Mike G. needed time.
