Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 1016032, member: 874"] The first two points are where we differ. I don't know that the d-league can develop him any better. I would put it at a maybe. You mentioned he would see better competition in the d-league. That's not a given. I'd say he'd face more consistent competition but not always better. The best teams in college that he plays against will have future lottery pick players that will play in the NBA, some starting, from day one. The d-league will have none of those. Who in the d-league is as good as Jabari Parker? I don't think you leave for a CHANCE at the first round. You leave if the first round is a CERTAINTY. His projections, by NBA personnel people, don't make it a certainty. I'm not referring to syracusefan.com experts, I'm referring to people paid by NBA franchises to assess these players. They think he'd be better off waiting, at this point. [/QUOTE]
