It wasn't 50/50 from the outside. That's like saying there is a 50/50 chance it's going to rain in Phoenix any giving day because either it will or it won't.
For whatever it's worth, it's not just Korzo. The rumblings were that Amir was not coming back next year. They started during the regular season. I had a posted where I hinted at it during the last couple weeks of the regular season (it was in response to the total number of available scholarships this year or something).
The idea that Amir was probably not coming back had more to do with the fact that he is old for his grade. His dad is smart enough and helicopter enough to know that you typically only have a certain number of years to play pro basketball and make money. Since Amir is a year older and has some injury history that played into it way more than anything about how he was being used in the program. Richard is not the first or last dad to think his son is not being used correctly. It also doesn't mean that kids leave because of it. NBA scouts get paid to find and evaluate players. They don't rely solely on how they were used in college. Truthfully under this logic, then Richard would've been happier this year because he's always wanted Amir to run the point.
