All of those players listed have been in the league for 3 years or less, some of them are in the Devolpment League developing.

Yep they do it with Duke also..i dont know what its gonna take for these idiots to realize how a player does in the pros has nothing to do with who his college coach is its on HIM

If player is a tweener in the pros or lacks size or work ethic how is that his clolege coaches fault?

I agree but players can develop the work ethic needed to become a legit NBA player in college.

As far as UK pros, I've been saying it for a while now that it's great that a lot of these kids go to Kentucky for one year, then get drafted but is that the best thing for them long-term since it seems that none of them have approached star status yet in the NBA.

.

Yeah but work ethic is on the player in the end especially once he hits the pros

How a player translates his skillset in the pros is most important and has nothing to do with a college coach

I wasnt even picking on Cal..next years class he could have 3 or 4 nba all stars alone im not saying Cal ruins these guys im just saying u cant blame or praise these coaches for how players they have do in the pros

MGK has a higher ceiling than that.

And Kanter will be a beast, trust me on that. Dude is playing with Jefferson, Millsap, AND Favors... that logjam should be cleared after this season at latest and his minutes will come.

And Brandon Knight has shown promise

I always say this.

the limited time these players have with their college coaches isn't enough to a turn role player into a superstar.

A lot of these productive players do it on their own. Some players have a skill set that works better in the college than it does the NBA and vice versa

Damian Lillard has been the best rookie guard this year under their logic all these one and dones guards should just go to Weber State :childplease:
