Message: [QUOTE="OttoinGrotto, post: 2640628, member: 297"] I think we all are pretty comfortable acknowledging that McCullough knew for a long time the Nets wanted him, but that his long term NBA potential wasn't a sure thing to realize. Malachi is still a young player, and he's with a new team. I'm sure they just wanted to see more of what they had. Lydon is a 2nd year player. Almost every 2nd year player does summer league. There's no shame in that. It comes down to people not catching on that the NBA's comfort with developing talent is increasing, and so is their ability to do so. Participation in the D league and summer league used to be a mark of shame, but now teams use those opportunities to scout and assess and help guys get better. It's crazy, I know! Curry didn't have an opportunity to leave that early. [/QUOTE]
