Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 2112049, member: 2458"] So players don't get stronger if they aren't getting playing time? Huh? Yes, the NBA is highly competitive and it's really difficult to stick and make it if you aren't an elite prospect. Yes, it would be better if you're more ready to contribute right away. That doesn't mean guys don't get better. These discussions happen every year, but one thing never changes...if a player is confident they are going to be a first round pick based on the feedback they get, they're probably leaving. And they probably should, in most cases. Exception being if they truly do have the potential to improve their stock even higher and become a lottery pick. That's often not the way things go in the current climate though. [/QUOTE]
