On his insider piece, he had nine names that he called questionable decisions to go, and on Lacey he wrote:
I understand he’s older (turns 24 in October) and has been in college four years after transferring from Alabama, but his stock would have surely improved with another year -- and also another year of relevance from NC State. Mark Gottfried’s team was incredibly inconsistent, but Lacey would have ben the go-to guy again on a team that had more experience and had a chance to be in the Top 25 all season. I’m not sure he could have gotten into the equation for the first round with another year, but it could have helped his value to NBA clubs.
