Well I did not say he would fail, I just said that I did not think he would be better than average. And what I meant to say was a better than average starter. I do think he will be a decent starter, but he really did not show me much this year. I have to admit, I only saw him play a few times, but in the games I saw he did not show any flashes of brilliance, which is what i look for in youngsters. Like with Deron, I remember in his rookie year in several instances seeing flashes. I am not a Conley expert, but he does not appear speedy quick like someone with his athleticism should be. His shot is not good, and his passes are exaggerated. He is young and has tons of room to improve, but I just don't expect him to be anything special ever.
Here is a thread about Conley before prior to the draft
