Elias Harris projected in 1st Round of 2010 Draft

PrintElias Harris is really starting to impress people. It was only a week ago I posted that he popped up in a 2011 NBA mock draft. NBADraft.net had him going late in the middle of the first round, which I thought was accurate. There are certainly parts of Harris' game that need work.
To my dismay, the fine people at NBADraft.net have updated their 2010 mock draft to look like this. With the week that Elias has had, it is no surprise that his stock jumped that much, but as a Gonzaga fan it is a bit scary to see. Hopefully Elias will stick around, but if he keeps playing this well, his stock will rise even higher. When you hear first round rumors for three solid months, that is more than enough to convince one to take the money and run.
On a pleasant note, Matt Bouldin made a return to the mock draft! So what if he is the 2nd last pick, he should get a shot! This is the first time I have seen Matt's name in a mock draft for quite some time, and it's good to see that people are starting to acknowledge how well he is playing right now.
Do you think that Elias is one and done?

No suprise really. I think he'll leave.
He’s proven himself in the pro game overseas, in international competition, and now in college. If he was 18 maybe he’d stay, but since he’s 20 I don’t really see why he’d stay.
It's not all bad if he leaves (but mostly)
As much as I hope Elias stays for at least one more year, it is starting to look unrealistic. So maybe it’s time to look long term. As Austin Daye starts to put up real numbers and I’m sure Elias will as well we will get a huge boost in recruiting. One think that I think has hurt Gonzaga is that the majority of players end up in Europe. To show recruits that they can come to Gonzaga and become an NBA talent with pay huge dividends in future recruiting classes.
Having said that, I still hope Elias stays.
Unless he's guaranteed in the lottery I think he stays

Anyone talk to Elias about this?
Speculation without ANY information about his own goals and objectives is just sad.
For some folks its all about the money. For others, there are other matters that are more important.
I haven’t seen anything about what Harris wants out of life short term or long term.
I’d like to hear what he has to say.

Oh well
Back to Elias…
He was #21 in Chad Ford’s Top 100 for the NBA Draft. Says he is a mid-to-late first rounder. I don’t think Harris will go this year if he isn’t a lottery so this is good news.

stay
I’d like to see Harris stay one more year just cuz its exciting to watch him play, not since Amo have we had a guy who could game it every nite out…..but I think he’s gone after the season is over……so long Harris, its been great
I for one think he stays
Entry from the Sokesman Review, near the bottom of the page it makes it sound like Harris is planning on staying. At least at this point thats what he is thinking it seems..
