Interesting how Pruitt neglected to state that one of the reasons he left for the NBA was he was academically ineligible (2nd time in two years) at the end of his junior year immediately following the tourney. Plus, even if he did get his eligibility back, he wouldn't get the ball as much with OJ being there. Combine those facts with his financial situation and NBA draft stock being high made it a no brainer.

Gabe will get his chance during the next couple of years and will be a big part of either the Boston Celtics or another NBA team.
