Well, Flynn got hurt and was playing as a rookie under a crap coach, in the wrong system.  Johnson is acquitting himself fairly well with the Lakers this year. The NBA is so much about system, organization and who is running with you.  
To go more to your point with regard to SU and the T'wolves, its all about the T'wolves.  You guys had Brandon Roy and traded him.  Really, who does that?  I saw the kid once in college and thought he was the best player that year, hands down.

Also, what about the Dukies, Laettner and Avery, that you drafted in the 1st round.  How did those guys do?  Again, its about the T'wolves.

IMO - Jim Boeheim is a master at getting the best out of his players and putting them in the best position to do well.  I always point out that he made Lawrence Moten the leading scorer in [U][B]Big East history[/B][/U].  The same Lawrence Moten who barely played in the NBA and was non-descript overseas.  This year, he gets CJ Fair [B][U]mid-range baseline jump shots[/U][/B] when the game is close.  What other coach does that?  He tweaks his offense every year to take advantage of his best players' best assets.
