Message: [QUOTE="Oakland, post: 1246456, member: 590"] Potential used to mean guys like Darryl Dawkins, Kevin Garnet, and Kobe. Then it was the Corey Maggette, Ben Gordon, and Trevor Arizas. Now it the Jerami Grant, James Young, and Jahii Carsons. In other words, the potential bar has been greatly lowered over the years. Will it get to a point where a 8 ppg per game, third or fourth best player on his team, CM freshman gets drafted - maybe. But at some point the potential thing will become completely played out. ≈ Considering how many posters thought that Jerami would be a first rounder, or even a lottery pick, some aren't aware of this trend. If I'm a GM, I would have to ask myself, what is the point of drafting a player who won't realize his potential until his second contract? [/QUOTE]
