Message: [QUOTE="44cuse, post: 2943179, member: 693"] Yeah, pretty much agreed. It's kind of a hard thing to evaluate because there are so few guys in the league and even fewer that are getting enough minutes to actually evaluate. The last 4 guys on the roster are in the NBA, but no one would know what their defensive capabilities are. As for Melo...I don't think he's the best defender in the world, but I also tend to think that whole thing took on a degree of a life of its own at the extremes (some defending his defensive abilities and others saying he was terrible). I'm in the camp that, for whatever reason, SU guys don't make great pros. I don't know if that holds statistics wise, but just doesn't feel to me like SU guys make a big difference on the teams they are drafted to. At the beginning of 2018 I think SU had 7 guys in the league, good enough for a tie for 8th I think (and I think they were 3rd most in the ACC). 44cuse [/QUOTE]
