This has got to be the worst NBA Draft class ever in life

What?

In the NBA you actually are practicing more than college

The coaches and trainers are better

The competition is better



That's more on coaching though.

Not necessarily. Coaches in the pros are more or less there to massage egos and establish an offensive /defensive identity. The head coaches tend to leave the personal assistance you get from head coaches in college to assistants

I thought coaching doesn't matter

It matters in college

Two problems with this age old excuse.

1. Some players become satisfied with just being on an NBA roster, get complacent and never reach their full potential. Just ask A Darius Miles or Stromile Swift. If your goal is to just be on an NBA roster then fine get your money but as a fan why the fukk I wanna see garbage ass nikkas eating up minutes?

2. They get to the league and face that "better competition" only to find out they're not that nice, lose confidence and never reach their full potential as a result. Jeremy Lin is a prime example. Confidence and the mental aspect of playing in the NBA is everything. If a player isn't mentally prepared they won't last.

you obviously don't watch enough.

Even if someone watched a lot of wizards game it'd be easy to miss him and his 2 ppg average.

You can practice however long you want, still doesn't help you in a game against BETTER comp. Otherwise every bench player would be able to step in and be a beast when a star gets injured. Keeping with my original example, I could put you on an NBA team right now and give you full on access to coaching and practice time and you'd still get destroyed by an average D1 baller.

It boils down to talent + intangibles + experience. Every player has a peak... but some players are better served staying in school until they get better. Whether it be for confidence reasons, maturity, etc. NOT everybody should make the jump. You CAN get better by getting more experience at the NCAA level. Especially if you're not that much better than the folks around you.

Only time I'll say making the jump is always better is if you're purely talking about for money reasons or fear of losing draft position in a later draft.

Truth be told, the D League exists for players who aren't ready. They can get all the practice time they want, not worry about grades, etc. But if you're a top 10 pick aint nobody sending you to the D League. They're throwing you to the wolves with the hope that you figure it out before your rookie contract expires.

It matters in college

I have never watch a basketball game and said that the result of the game was because one coach outcoach the other coach.

I just dont get. There are so many factors that I see contribute to W/L in BBall and another coach "Putting on a coaching clinic" is never one of them.

How about this name the last basketball game were you said the reason for the outcome of the game is because one coach "outcoached" the other

Not sure that's true. With the amount of games and traveling, not sure how much actual solid practice time you get compared to what you get during the college season.

This.

I also have a feeling that College is less nonsense than the NBA, meaning if you fukk up you don't play, which we all know isn't the same in the NBA. It could lead to players being held more accountable and developping winning habits. I don't know College bball enough, but it often seems like win or die games with a lot of intensity, I think it pushes these young players more

TBH I don't expect ANYTHING of today's rookies, we out here talking about "wait a couple years", fukk that I want the top 5 rookies to be NBA ready and make an impact, not be "prospects" with "potential". I mean how we went from DC, Shaq, Mourning, Webber, Penny, Iverson, Lebron, LJ, Grant Hill, Vince Carter, Garnett, Duncan, Yao etc to Anthony Bennett...I mean I used to seek out those games with top rookies to see who got next now it's like "Oh wait, a rookie who can actually play"

 

[Reggie]

It's not the worst and it's too early to deem it a bad class but if the draft were held over today that top 10 to 15 would look so much different.

How the fukk do you watch a team without realizing someone is on there?

The d league is under utilized dudes like Otto porter, Anthony Bennet and even Noel if he's healthy belong there...it needs to be something stated where if a player doesn't make the nba roster and stays in dleague the whole year the team still retains that extra year of contract eligibility....I also think that more players should be allowed to hire agents enter the draft and return to college with the drafting team owning there rights...

Rookies are the reason cats like Shannon brown and mitral pietrus aren't on nba rosters...and they should be.
