Make no mistake, I'm a big Duane Washington Jr. fan.
As a fan, sure it's frustrating that he won't be in Ohio State's backcourt next year - starring for a team that if E.J. Liddell returns, had (has?) the talent to finally make a meaningful NCAA tournament run under head coach Chris Holtmann.
But kids go to college - athletes or otherwise - to prepare for their chosen career path. Duane feels like college has prepared him and he's now ready to become a working professional. If you're hating on that, you're probably focusing too much on what this decision means for you instead of what it means for him.
