Path to the Draft: Biggest underachievers
Georgetown: Yes, the Hoyas are just months removed from winning a Big East title. And it was only six seasons ago that John Thompson III’s squad advanced to the 2007 Final Four. Still, this list is based largely on postseason accomplishments, and no one can argue that, overall, Georgetown has been a disappointment in March. That aforementioned Final Four berth was the Hoyas’ first since 1985 -- and they haven’t advanced to the NCAA tournament’s second weekend since. Even worse is that their past five tournament losses are to Davidson, Ohio, VCU, NC State and Florida Gulf Coast (as a No. 2 seed). That’s an ugly mark on a program that boasts recent alumni such as Greg Monroe, Jeff Green, Roy Hibbert and Otto Porter.
For all their talent they have been eliminated in the NCAA Tournament by a double digit seed the last five years. That is an embarrassment.
Well, Patrick Ewing still can't read that article.
I kid, I kid! I actually think Ewing's an alright guy (somebody had a good story about meeting him on an airplane not too long ago) and would like to see an NBA team give him a shot as a head coach.

This is unrelated to Georgetown, but I started reading the rest of the path to the draft stuff and it made me think about Derrick Coleman, and that led me to this old article from SI that I never saw before. I figured others may not have seen it, either, so I figured I'd share:
