Message: [QUOTE="Ward, post: 1651571, member: 1958"] Yea I didn't disagree with it being the only reason I disagreed with it being a reason at all. I think they look overseas for players because there are more players worthwhile to look at than in the past, not a whole lot more to it. This is not an attack on you by any means but just for discussion purposes many people assume that you can receive better coaching and development in college than the NBA and far more often than not it is the opposite. So to assume if a guy left a year later that he would have had a better career in the NBA isn't always sound reason. I grew up going to every single SU home game with my dad and now that I live in Boston I go to Celtics games and I can't stress enough how much more developed the guys in the NBA are from a skill standpoint. Now the guys who leave and don't get drafted they obviously probably made a mistake should have stayed in school barring personal off-court reasons. [/QUOTE]
