Message: [QUOTE="EastCoast2, post: 194392, member: 488"] I don't get the "going to UK will make you a higher pick" or "Calipari develops one and dones" theories. Did Rick Barnes make Kevin Durant? Rose, Evans, Wall, Knight would have all been top 5 picks out of HS. They'd be top 5 picks if they played at Mizzou, DePaul, Washington State. Why do some people think Cal turns marginal 4-star players into lottery picks? He doesn't. He's consistently given 3x the amount of talent as other top schools and plays the numbers game. If I coach Columbia next season and get Noel, Shabazz, Ashley, and Poythress, then 3 of them are lottery picks, am I the greatest developer of talent? [/QUOTE]
