Message: [QUOTE="leftytg, post: 886883, member: 2651"] That simply does not make sense. There is way more practice time in college, and elite players get invaluable experience maturing the various aspects of their games - particularly in refining their mental understanding of how to play and honing skills with better coaching than the high school level, and being in a place where they can fail but not be crushed. The NBA has less practice time and is a much more competitive environment and not a safe place to fail to learn from mistakes on the court. Maybe he never would have improved at SU, maybe he reached his true talent level early and was simply an early bloomer. He very well may have left at the perfect time. I have no idea and neither do you. But it tortures logic to cite his failure to improve in the NBA as proof that he wouldn't have improved at SU. [/QUOTE]
