Iti was nothing more than a long armed shot blocker. He had a lot of hype at Charlotte too, talkin bout he was an NBA prospect.

Anybody in the state of CT or associated with UConn basketball will remember this name and how he was supposed to be the "savior":
Ajou Ajou Deng (Luol's big brother).
The hype was astronomical.

Ajou was buns. Remember when SI had that article on him before he even played a game. Ended up transferring to Fairfield, right?

Wait...Malta...was this the dude that transferred to Fairfield?
*I see Crooks said the same thing....
I seen Fairfield (and I think the Deng dude was on the squad) play SJU at Alumni back in the day...I think he had 8 or 9 blocks in that game
**If you ever wanted to see "busts"/where are they now type cats, yall shoulda peeped when your school would scrimmage an "EA SportsAll-Star" team...I remember SJU played one of teams and there was one of the Barry brothers spotting up from just inside half court

JJ Redick could be a better example, but even then we all understand why he stayed all four years.

JJ was the MVP of the Mickey D game. He was def a top prospect & he def lived up to the hype IN COLLEGE as well.
NaS was trying to say JJ is a better example than B Roy as far as top prospects that weren't busts staying 4 years goes (& he's correct).

JJ Reddick was a consensus top 25 guy coming out of HS...
In every HS class there are always guys like Reddick who are All Americans but aren't considered to be in that upper echelon of ELITE (Typically the top3-5 or even more considering on how deep the class is like in 07). Players like Hansbrough, Frasor (UNC), Kevin Bookout, etc. fall in that category.
The top 3-4 usually features guys that are on a completely differently level (Beasley, Rose, KG, Shard, Stat, Melo, Bron, just to name some elite prospectsover the years).
Generally when you're ranked 1-2 overall in your class...it is RARE to stay in school for 4 years and usually means things didn't go as planned.Actually of the guys who are ranked that high and actually went to school...I don't think there is a player besides Bogans that stayed in school for 4years in a LONG, LONG time. Kelvin Torbert is the only name I can think of.

There definitely was no "hype" for JJ Reddick as there would be for someone who was 1, 2, or 3 in their class. There was that next level"hype" for Shelden who was considered the cream of the crop in that Duke Class.

JJ Redick had a RIDICULOUS pedigree heading into Duke. Ask anyone who is a UVA alum how it felt when he spurned the Cavs and went to Durham. There was SOmuch hype surrounding this dude.
*edit*
NVM...I see what u and ImNotYou are getting at....

He was a white boy that could shoot the lights out. He got as much hype as that type of player could possibly get. I remember dude KILLING inthe McDonald's game though.
