Reaction to Smart’s return
Here’s sort of a best of Twitter from last night:

Marcus Smart apparently decided he couldn't pass up playing in front of 5,000 people a night for another year.

Marcus Smart will be the first Big 12 Player of the Year to return to school in the past 15 years (Raef LaFrentz 1997-98).

With Marcus Smart, Markel Brown and Le'Bryan Nash coming back, #OKstate will feature the Big 12's top three returning scorers.

Biggest loser here is probably the Orlando Magic who would've seriously considered Smart with the No. 1 pick.

If Woj report is true, first players since Blake Griffin to turn down a Top 3 pick to return to school …

I still believe Marcus Smart was the No. 3 point guard on the board behind Trey Burke and Michael Carter-Williams. Would have gone lottery.

You can be an adult the rest of your life, enjoy being a kid- glad Marcus Smart is staying SmartWater OK #Gopokes

Just understand that Smart likely is passing on $9-10M guaranteed with this decision. Maybe he'll get that and more down the road, but damn.

Ironic that Smart comes back & will make nothing & yet now we'll be selling Nike #33 jerseys and t shirts without his name on them

Smart bypassing means one of the worst drafts in recent memory just got that much more anemic.

Anyone questioning Marcus smart's decision to return to #okstate has obviously never had a limee.

I am not sure this is the best decision for Marcus Smart. Time will tell, though. He's a different kid.
— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) April 17, 2013
Glad we get to see Marcus Smart for another year, but I hate to see a kid bypass guaranteed millions like this.

I love Marcus Smart and want him back in the college game. Just saying I would have advised him to go to NBA as sure-fire lottery pick.

After getting a barrage of tweets all week complaining about one-and-dones, now flooded with tweets calling Marcus Smart stupid. SMH
