Same with Jay Will, his size and position were pretty much the reasons for why he stayed their as long as he did. Then you have the guys like McRoberts few and far b/ween who could've been a late lottery picks outta HS, but just never developed....The longer they stay the lower their stock seems to dropp....lack of development....I see the same thing with Paulus....yeah he plays hard, but his vision is no better then when he came in to duke to now. After looking at it, I think Coach K's development skills are overrated, he needs realize this and go back to recruiting talant like he was a few years ago and quit tryin to find the next Bobby Hurley and Christian Laetner
Ya, I'll agree with that, minus 2 small things - The Battier statement and the last sentence. Recruit talent? Like Nelson, Livingston, McRoberts, Henderson, Singler, Smith, and Williams? And those are just the guys they got. They also went after guys, who I've already mentioned in another thread just a few days ago. But then again, why recruit the talent, he's just going to ruin it, right?
