Message: [QUOTE="EastCoast2, post: 2551540, member: 488"] Please explain how I dug a hole? You have tripled down on your theory that one good game in March = getting drafted in the first round. I've presented a logical train of thought, and a sensible process of thinking for NBA scouts and GMs, and you're still pretending you know more than them. You have apparently cracked the code to getting drafted, maybe you should tell Boeheim to sit his players in the Elite 8 to prevent them from leaving. How did Tyler Ennis do in the tournament? Or Jerami Grant? Chris McCullough? Tyler Lydon? Donte Greene? Wes Johnson? Dion Waiters? Fab Melo? Still no response to the FACT that Malachi was 6-16 in the E8 game vs. Virginia. There's no shame in your fallacy. It's a human bias to remember those 2 three pointers Malachi made in the 2nd half and forget the 3 that he missed earlier in the game, and the one he missed with 2 minutes left in the game. I've had to repeat this a few times since you won't acknowledge it: NBA GMs and scouts jobs are on the line. They have huge financial incentives to make the correct decisions and picks. They don't overweight an arbitrary game in March into their models and move prospects based on one or two jump shots going in. This flawed logic started when Jonny Flynn left after 2009 and a subset of Syracuse fans (I'm assuming you're included based on your statement here) think that the 6OT game caused him to get drafted 6th overall. Forget the fact that he was a McDonald's all-American with a game built for the open floor style of the NBA. Forget his freakish athleticism and quickness that was highlighted during the combine and workouts. Why didn't G-Mac get drafted top 5 after he hit 6 3's in the 2003 title game? Why wasn't he a first rounder after dropping 43 in the tournament vs. BYU? [/QUOTE]
