Quite Frankly

To be honest I am sick of posting here as well. Let's just let Big Baby do his thing, and see if he makes anything of himself.

C way you keep bringing up that ONE guy. I could name a million different scenarios to fit MY theory as well.

If your point is living and dying by one or two different examples it's not a very valid point IMO.

So much for the posts on this thread coming to an end.

And you have ignored responding to this one player. Why should I list more? P-Dub listed MANY players where their college and SL careers did not at all reflect their NBA career. And your only example is a guy who has not even played one NBA game - Davis.

So yes, let's hear your "million different scenarios to fit YOUR theory".

GregOden

Want some examples? Here's just from 06.

Randy Foye, nearly 25 ppg in SL, played well in college, made all rookie first time.

Brandon Roy, 19 ppg on 64.7% shooting. Obviously played well in college, won ROY.

David Lee played pretty good in college, averaged 15-9.4 in SL, and now Isiah doesn't even want to move the kid for Ron Artest.

Should I keep going? You can throw Lamarcus Aldridge in there as well if you'd like

He obviously rocked college, came into summer league averaged 11.6 ppg 6.6 rebounds 2.2 apg 1 steal a game, and a very impressive 1.8 blocks per game. Kid made first team all rookie, did he not? He's poised to take over the starting PF position this year as well.

Is that enough? Mind you thats all simply from 06.

exactly AW. I'd say comparing the #2 pick to a second rounder is flawed.

More importantly Oden - your theory is that if your showed flaws in college and the SL, you don't have a shot in the NBA. Not the other way around. There are MANY examples of guys who did not have stellar college careers, or light up the SL - who then went on to have fine NBA careers.

GregOden

What second rounders dominate college? That's the reason they're second rounders.

That's NOT my point dude. I'm saying DAVIS doesn't have much of a shot at the NBA, just him. I never said that was some formula I use to predict futures, I simply said what I think DAVIS'S career will be.

I don't think DAVIS will be anything the NBA. DAVIS. DAVIS. That's the thread topic, isn't it? DAVIS didn't impress me in college, and now DAVIS showed me in SL the reasons why I didn't like DAVIS in college. Hence me thinking DAVIS'S NBA career will be a shorter one. DAVIS.

Better? DAVIS.

This board is all about bringing up the minority I see.

Yes there are SOME second rounders that dominate college. Just like there's 5th rounders in football that dominate in college.

You can always find a small percentage to prove a point, but the MAJORITY of second rounders don't dominate college. Is that a false statement?
