Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 1074832, member: 127"] Just a question. Aren't those longevity stats rather skewed because of the initial investment made in a player taken as an NBA lottery pick? I mean look at Greg Oden. He has been in the NBA 6 years and has played a total of 105 games and 840 points in those 6 years. He's currently with the Miami Heat. #1 pick, Kwame Brown just retired after 13 years in the NBA and only averaged 10 points a season once in his career. I think NBA teams will keep a lottery pick player and take a leap of faith, obviously giving them much more time to try to develop , than a 2nd round player or FA. This is particularly true with big men. [/QUOTE]
