Message: [QUOTE="SarasotaPaul, post: 1074386, member: 985"] So then why did he fall down into the second round? They get picked apart as soon as they try out. Last year, this year, next year. The NBA guys don't buy into the media hype, they evaluate for themselves. Then they go for potential. This potential thing is also more obvious in the fans and press's thoughts than in the NBA. Gives them/us something to talk about. Even with potential, your stock goes up when you already have some of the strength and skills Then your ceiling (potential) goes even higher. Hey I wish him all the luck in the world, but really thought he needed another year to maximize his first paycheck in the NBA. His workouts proved what many thought (especially those in the business) and that was, he wasn't ready. How does potential figure into that? There is much more potential when there are more things you need to improve on. So this potential thing is not the holy grail some think it is. [/QUOTE]
