Stan Van Gundy on how hard it is to make an NBA roster

[Anerdyblackguy]

Zach Edey just won national college player of the year and he has absolutely no chance of sniffing an NBA roster. Same thing with Kofi Cockburn, Angel Delgado, etc, etc.


60 draft picks and the NBA recruits and drafts globally. It’s the hardest sport to break into.

Talk about a very useless post.

I didn’t get it either

I didn’t get it either

Dudes are weird.

I play pickup sometimes with a college coach and HE doesn't miss... if he's open it's going in. I also will go watch some of the prep teams, D1 talent up and down the roster, couple guys committed to Kentucky, they are scary good and who knows if they'll even make it

Kofi did better staying in college for his final year, getting some NIL money. I think he in china, japan, or korea now.

He had his heart set on the NBA, but that shyt ain't in the cards.

Really only 30-45 spots for American college players. The rest are Gleague/World

Gotta put in unreal work of your craft.

Agree…. The game today is harder to get in than it’s ever been.

I go back and look at some of them rosters from 84-98.

And there are a lot of guys that starter who wouldn’t be starters in the NBA today…. Yet alone probably make a roster today.

Gelo Ball who so many on the coli love to shyt on and say he can’t play in the NBA. Could’ve started for the 1988 Clippers roster

couldnt help yourself huh...you aint slick

There really are levels. But to be fair, if you created a clone of yourself training ball for 30-40 hours every week against high level talent, in 3-6 months the clone would bust your ass in pickup too.

98% of being in thr league is being tall enough

Short nxgga babble.

 

[god shamgod]

I remember hooping with a division III cat , dude wasn’t good enough to play overseas or go to d1 college but looked like a hall of famer at l.a. fitness

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

here's what i know about SVG:

-got his ass ran out of ORL
-got his ass ran out of DET
-got his ass ran out of NOLA
-was nicknamed the "master of panic" by shaq
-proved shaq right by making adjustments to how his team played BEFORE the series began against the 2010 boston celtics, resulting in a loss

Yet he’s still a better coach than Steve Kerr
