Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 1423670, member: 1572"] Your last two sentences make the point I've been trying to make this entire thread so I thank you for that. Alpharetta thinks its rather routine for second rounders to have double digit year careers. My point regarding former SU players in the NBA is that there was a 20 year period from the early 1990s draft where SU basically had two guys do anything in the NBA (Melo and Warrick). That's pretty much undeniable, right? Hard to call that anything other than a drought. Unless all of the NBA players during that timeframe came from Europe I would say that is clearly relative underperformance, no? And I don't think that's cherrypicking cuz 20 years is a long time. More recently we've had several guys get drafted pretty high so the trends are definitely improving to where we are no longer an underperformer although the performance of these recent guys has been mixed at best. Is this a fair summation of the situation? [/QUOTE]
