Brandon Costner, right now, is all that Sidney Lowe has in Raleigh. Take him away and there's the semi-emergence of Courtney Fells, Ben McCauley's swan song, and the unlikely possibility of landing John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins. Which isn't saying much.Logically, the news/rumor that Costner was bolting for the NBA after this season should be terrifying for Sid. Fortunately for Lowe, though, Costner is referring to that report as "one of those crazy Internet rumors."
"I definitely didn't definitively say I'm leaving," Costner said. "Just another one of those crazy Internet rumors that goes around about me. I'd rather people just shut up and stop making up stuff."That's, um, definite, right? Bear in mind, here, that there's a lot more at play than just what Costner wants right now. For starters, there's a lot less chance that Lowe lands Cousins or Wall if they think Costner won't be there to help them on offense next year. And there's a lot less chance that Costner wants to hang around without either of those guys.
Add in Cousins and Wall and the Wolfpack could be temporarily dangerous; take away all three guys and State fans are in a nightmare. In other words, there's a lot of ifs here, and there's a distinct possibility that Lowe just wants Costner to act like he's hanging around regardless, at least for now.

Costner is a guy with NBA talent but he just disappears in games at times, drifts outside the perimeter too much (even though he can hit those threes) and needs to learn to play the game hard all of the time.
