Check Laettner's numbers and see that if Frank winds up like that he's a borderline all-star

note i used the phrase "less demonic". laettner was cold blooded kaminsky is kool-aid blooded. kaminsky doesnt have the fire to be the borderline all-star laettner was his first few years. hes more like the hawks and beyond apathetic version

99.9% of the time, when pale skin players beast at the college level, its because of the one and done effect. It gives them an even playing field. Most of the great players only stay one year. The ones who don't aren't good enough to go pro. Just my observation

he saying players like Rose, Wall etc come up early cause they ready to play and be stars on the next level...

while these role players like this one stay in school and dominate longer cause them days over if and when they make it to da league...

there are exceptions to that rule tho :mjcry: Roy had next

Not every owner sits back. A good percentage are active in all roster personnel moves.

I have a hard time pretending that MJ is a hands off owner.

It was a Jordan pick. Owners are usually in the draft room and have final say.

Michael Jordan wanted Frank Kaminsky more badly than anybody has ever wanted anything
that's fine I never said he was hands off. Jordan gotta be the only Owner who has a GM but still gets all the blame

That just reminded me of the time I got NBA live 98 for Christmas and Laettner was one of the players they had as a background/loading screen, and I was like :dahell:get this white dude offa here

Frank was never seen as a can't miss prospect to me and I figured his ceiling if he reached his potential would be 15/8. He will play for a decade because he is skilled and he is 7 foot but anyone who even knows a little about the game would know that he wasn't ever going to be an All Star type player. He lacks the foot speed or the athleticism along with the lateral quickness to be anything more then a fourth or fifth option on a good team. Not trying to knock him cause I hope the best for him but I was never fooled by what he did in college cause I have seen it to many times over the years with these white stiffs who come into the league hyped and ending up as average players.
