Josh Selby going pro is a mistake, but good for KU

Josh Selby had a lot more to prove at KU. In half a season, Selby didn’t look like a one-and-done player or surefire first-round pick. He averaged just under eight points a game, shot really poorly (37.3 percent) and was slowed by injuries. He didn’t look like the No. 1 player in the class of 2010.

For a guy projecting as a late first-round to early second-round pick, returning to KU to improve his draft stock seemed like the smart move. It wasn’t the move Selby made. On Thursday, Selby announced on Twitter that he’s going pro.
