Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 2228302, member: 1423"] Well, it does little good to recite all these players who got drafted and didn't make the tournament. Obviously, that happens. TL is an example (speaking of just this season). However, his potential was on display at the FF and having him step up and make major plays in crunch time -- um if you don't think that matters to NBA G managers, I think you're out to lunch. More to the point .. a BORDERLINE player (Like TB and malachai) can definitely benefit from post-season exposure. Of course, they have to play well, at the right times. If they do, the difference is dramatic -- without a couple plays against UVA, many (I'm included) think MR was headed for mid second round also. Yet he went at 22. Lydon didn't make the post season, but SU's run last year put him in the NBA's sights and all he had to do this year was play decently (out of position) and showcase his jumper (he did that). [/QUOTE]
