Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 4984232, member: 2133"] A team needs to be better than the sum of its parts. NBA talent doesn't always win the most college basketball games. Purdue is a top-5 team and they don't have anyone on an NBA radar outside of Edey and he's likely going to be a hit or miss NBA player. Wisconsin reloads year in and out with a bunch of 6'8" farm kids who will never sniff the NBA. Illinois is a top-15 team with a handful of back-half top-100 HS prospects and no one on the NBA radar. Who does Iowa State have ticketed for the NBA? SU has had a pretty rough last decade despite each team having a player or two who eventually had NBA time. Buddy and Cole Swider were on the only losing team of the last 45 years. I'm more concerned with coaches having smart game plans and players executing that gameplan than keeping 1 or 2 players with NBA-ish talent/athleticism happy. [/QUOTE]
