Wisconsin C Frank Kaminsky : "NBA Looks Boring"

[mastermind]

But he doesn't play for Northwestern or Penn State

he doesnt play for the Bobcats either.

If he wants to stay in college because he enjoys the experience and loves being a campus King, then say that. No need to say your future employers are boring.

Preemptive excuse... He knows he'd be a bust

b at the pinnacle of your basketball career in college brehs. He is right tho he won't be nothing but a role player in the NBA, so this is him at his peak. Just another rotation player off the bench at the next level, either at Utah or Minnesota..

You're misreprsenting Kaminsky's statements. He didn't say anything his own skill level. He said the NBA is boring because crowd and atmosphere. However your interpretation of Kaminsky's statements imply he is being disingenous. If, as you say, the reason Kaminsky made this s tatement is because he knows he's not good enough to move on to the highest level, why didn't Kaminsky just say so? If Kaminsky was a Valuncinanas clone,. do you think he'd say the same thing he's saying now?

No. I'm not. He wrote a long, detailed blog post about it, laying out MANY reasons for staying. Among them was the NBA's atmosphere compared to what he experiences playing for UW.

the difference is: I went and actually read it... very beneficial for those looking to speak on somebody's comments. That's just a pro tip for you.

First of all, who wouldn't want to find out how people at the next level view your potential career as an NBA player. Find out what they think you need to work on, what you do well, and what people are looking for. I believe I would have been stupid if I just ignored all that information.

Secondly, the thought of not being broke anymore was very appealing. I know I am going to college and pursuing my degree free of charge, but it comes to a point where you are tired of being broke. I hate looking in my bank account at the end of the month and seeing 20$ left in there. The appeal of potentially a lot of money would entice any collegiate athlete, or any college student for that matter.

Lastly, like I said, it has always been a dream of mine. I can't tell you how many times I have thought about being in the NBA. But playing in college made me realize something. Something important.

I am at the pinnacle of my basketball playing career, at least in my eyes. I know the NBA has their crazy fans and all, but if you look at all of their games, there are games when teams get hardly any fans, and it looks flat out boring. At the Kohl Center, we play in front of nearly 17,000 fans every single time we step onto the court. When we travel, we play in front of sell out crowds who absolutely hate us. Not because of who is on the team, but because of where we go to school. Who could leave that?

Last but not least, I am 100% positive we are going to have a great team next year. We lose only one player from a team that made it to a Final Four, and everyone will have another year of experience. I've said this before, and I will say it again. I hate losing, so much to the point where I am willing to do anything to win. I don't care if I average 2 points a game. As long as we are winning I am fine with it. Winning trophies and rings has always been more appealing to me than any individual award. I haven't won enough in college to call it a career. Yea, we made it to the final four, but that doesn't mean we won something. It's a great accomplishment and few get to achieve it, but it isn't winning it all. With the pieces we have returning, I believe we can win the Big Ten, and even win the whole damn thing.

I am going to be honest, I absolutely love college. Call me Joe College if you please. I sat down and thought about it for a long time, and I kept coming back to the same exact point. I don't think I would be able to live with the regret of skipping my last year of college to be a potential D-League player or end up in Europe. I have no doubt in my mind that I would have been drafted. I believe that one day I will be put on an NBA roster, but that doesn't happen right away for most people. Especially for a 7 foot white kid with average athleticism.

The NBA can wait. The NBA isn't going anywhere, so neither am I. I know my benefits of coming back to school just as well as I know my risks. But in this case, the benefits outweigh the risks. I made a commitment to the University of Wisconsin, and they made a commitment to me. Who would have thought that I would be in this position at the end of last season? If any, they wouldn't have been willing to bet on that. If you know anything about me, you would know that I pride myself on being loyal. I will always be loyal to anyone or anything that I care about, and I care about this school and this basketball team. They have become part of my identity and who I am.

That's what's what he said. That some of the NBA games look boring because the crowds don't show up... which is true. That he believes he'll be on an NBA roster eventually, but is realistic about his overall talent level, and knows it will be a struggle if he gets there at all.

Preemptive excuse... He knows he'd be a bust

You don't know what "bust" means.

 

[FaTaL]

Of course it looks boring, he'll be watching from the sidelines in the nba

 

[Jplaya2023]

The term bust will only apply to the expectations placed upon him. If they're expecting him to be kevin love then yes he will be a bust. If they expect him to be will perdue or luc longley then not so much.

If he declared today, some fool would pick him high

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

So glad we beat this fakkit in the NCAAT. He didn't declare because he realized he couldn't do shyt against big's like dakari and randle

How can people hate on this? He is basically admitting what everyone is accusing him of. He knows he will be average and put out a very well written article that explains why he wants to stay. Dudes are quick to shyt on him, hes just saying my time to be average will come so I'm going to eat this up.
