Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 4989602, member: 722"] The AAAA reference might be obscure for non MLB fans. It's a negative description for a prospect who tears up the highest level of the minors, AAA, but just isn't good enough for the major leagues. The thing is, since in this metaphor [I]Syracuse[/I] is the minor league team in question, this is exactly the kind of player we should be excited to have... A guy who is great in college playing four years for Syracuse because he lacks some quality the NBA looks for? Yes please! We could definitely use 4 years of a Westry or Mintz or Brown who might never be able to play NBA minutes but could be championship good for us. Think North Carolina's Bacot, but without the ugly blue jersey. [/QUOTE]
