Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 2136413, member: 2133"] I think this is accurate. I just don't think that staying in school turns a marginal NBA player into something any better, which is what some posters seem to think. That by staying four years automatically turns someone into a an NBA starter. Outside of the true basketball talents that go in the top-5 or so, it's hit or miss. The average production by draft pick or tier bears that out. And as, Toga posted earlier, how does that help SU in anyway? Privately give them honest evaluations, provide them the information they need, and whatever their decision, then publicly wish them the best of luck and thank them for playing at SU. Disparaging players to the press is just pointless and juvenile. I think JAB has a good eye for NBA skills, but his public attitude is unbecoming and not something I admire in him. [/QUOTE]
