Given all the BS occuring within the men's basketball team, fighting, dui, etc, someone has the opportunity to step up and be a leader on this team and let it be known this behaviour is unacceptable. Kareem?

By process of elimination, the choices are pretty slim. Kareem and Gregory are no brainers for next season. As a player, I am high on Kareem. As a leader, Gregory is the man. I hope Kemp is a good leader. From what I hear, Dunn is a natural leader too. Martin and Wiley are solid players , and even better off the court. I look forward to see how Martin and Wiley develop over the next few years. I like their upside, on and off the court.
Martin does not strike me as someone ready to lead now. Potentially, I can see him be more of a leader by example, and when he is a SR, be comfortable being a vocal leader too. Wiley looks like he is going to be a stud in the BSC, and is one great athlete. Can he elevate his game that much this season? I sure would love to see that. Athletically, he belonged on the court against Syracuse.
For this year, give Gregory the green light to chew ass!! Sorry, but I absolutely love the way he plays basketball, and his demeanor. His attitude and toughness have to be contagious.
I wonder what kind of punishment Deshields, Weisner (sp?), Henderson, and Coleman will have in the off season, or what will carry into the season? The % in trouble this season is way more than the football team, being Cherry was still on the team when he had his run in. To make numbers easy, 5 of 15 have been in trouble this season . If that were football, with 75 players that would be 25 players.
I pray for no more troubles. It is hard to believe these things are happening under this staff. Wayne does not take these kind of things lightly.

I have not heard, and have not seen anything posted. Legally, I think Deshields did nothing wrong. I do feel he is guilty of bad judgement of being at a bar while underage. By the sounds of what the judge told him, I think likely could have upset Wayne too. I don't know though, I have not talked to Wayne or anyone about it. I won't either, that is not any of my business, nor should it be.
As for Weisner, again he was doing something most college students do. He had a party, but was caught having it. Legally, not anything major, or will hurt his future. Again, very bad judgement. Hard to fault these guys for being college students. Like it or not, they have more responsibilities than other students do. If they are going to drink and have fun, keep it small, and isolated. If of age, make sure the minors stay out!!!!
I am sure a few SR's have drank, but kept it to themselves in very casual atmospheres, and no threat of getting in any trouble.

DeSheilds pleaded not guilty in his initial hearing and has another hearing in June. The judge OK'ed he return home and attend the hearing via long distance.
Cherry had his case continued with out entering a plea.
Weisner was a relative minor offence and I think he paid a fine.

In addition to being as smart as h***, Jordan has a real strong set of opinions on athlete behaviors, and he doesn't mind expressing them. He's not passive. He'll let you know what he thinks, and if he isn't saying it, he has "a look."mtgrizrule said:
Two years ago, he was just "a kid." He has matured extremely quickly into a natural leader; really its been just within a short few months this recent season. Unlike last season's bench time, Wayne gave him a few moments in the sun early this season, and the kid grabbed it and it changed everything for him.
