Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 2604989, member: 40"] I agree with your point. Many do not understand that even MAKING it to the bigs is an accomplishment. Any career "accomplishments" beyond that are gravy, especially for guys that earn a second contract. I think that many [most?] posters view our recent late first round picks as disappointments because they aren't guys who end up being contributors, and instead spend quite a bit of time in the G-League instead of on TV for our fans to watch / see their success. Or the perception that they don't have the long-term potential to stick, play, or get a second contract [a la Donte Greene, possibly Ennis, possibly Mali]. Or an expression of disillusionment with the process because we've had numerous, beloved players who were fringe NBA prospects [like Rak, Gbinije, CJ, Arinze, etc.] who've come really close, but didn't get more than a cup of coffee, if that.
