Message: [QUOTE="moqui, post: 1278542, member: 214"] you cannot make that assumption . . . as far as we know, his current success is the result of being able to treat basketball as his full time job, rather than the hobby that the NCAA mandates it to be with its time restrictions. He comes back and he gets to spend 20 hours a week working on zone defense and slow tempo offense, and he's a year older and stale when the draft comes along stuffed with fresh 19 year olds. Age matters; he might have improved his draft position, but I highly doubt he would have gotten into the lottery. Hell, Rakeem Christmas is [I]at best[/I] a late first rounder right now, and it is very unlikely that Jerami would have had a better season than Roc has had thus far. [/QUOTE]
