Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1228164, member: 569"] I'm not much of a believer in programs/coaches turning players into lottery picks. Generally lottery picks are early entry players and are being chosen on measurable and potential or they are simply a very talent underclassman that came of age as a freshman or sophomore and exhibited basketball skills to go with their physical talents. Sure programs can help with visibility and coaches can coach up a kid or run a system that helps them but they aren't creating an NBA lottery pick IMO. They are simply fostering what is already there and maybe boosting it a little bit. Over 3 or 4 years some programs turn guys into NBA picks that have a chance to make a living in the association but that becomes more and more rare these days. [/QUOTE]
