Sorry, wasn't here for that convo.
So you think that marginal players like Devendorf and others like him are right for leaving early? Gotcha.

Super prospects should go, no doubt.
But what about the marginal guys who get gassed into going early (Jerami Grant)?
You guys almost sound as if you don't even want a college system.

Marginal guys are going to stay for a minimum of 2, 3 years regardless anyway. But that's beside the point. The point, is that the college game just doesn't prepare players for the NBA, marginal guys, elite players, etc.
The college game is just flat out a pretty bad metric to use for evaluating pro prospects.

Devendorf is making money playing professional basketball. You don;t like guys making money?
Jermi Grant will make millions of dollars, whats the problem?

Anyone remember the consensus on Westbrook leading up toworkouts and draft night. I know for a fact he wasnt considered a top 5 pick and do remember them saying he was late lottery at times. Plus he was no where near UCLA's best player.
Was he another boom or bust player?

He's probably the biggest surprise in recent memory. Nobody could have predicted he'd end up this good. It was a consensus opinion that Presti SUPER reached for him. People were saying Bayless, Gordon, or Love should have been picked there.

Wish Devendorf made it to the L just for the trolling that would ensue.

from what i recall, he was definitely top 5 coming out of that draft. he wasnt the big name on the team but scouts thought he was nba ready because of his defense and athleticism.

Word. I remember the night he was drafted everybody I know was just like wut.
Amazing how OKC pulled that off. It's the offensive ability that has left everyone just amazed.

LaVine going to surprise the detractors in this thread too, I don't think he'll be Westbrook but good in his own right.

I'm willing to bet that Dorf would rather play in the NBA for less money.
Jerami will make millions on his rookie deal and then be in the same boat as Dorf.

I wouldn't compare someone who's athleticism and ability to guard multiple positions alone will keep them on a roster longer than someone like Devendorf wouldI'm willing to bet that Dorf would rather play in the NBA for less money.

Analytics are hit and miss. Cleveland is HEAVY on analytics and look at the Cavaliers last 5 draft picks.
