    yeah no shit that was my point

    these guys are all shocked here today that a mid-to-upper level college player isn't a mid-to-upper level nba player

    do the math folks, there are over 300 division 1 college teams and only 30 nba teams

    How about Eric Murdock? He managed to squeeze some time in the NBA. The biggest boneheaded move was Anderson Hunt of UNLV. Guy bypasses his senior and doesn't get drafted. Rodney Monroe actually looked like he could adapt to the pro style where as Steve Alford was purely a great "college only" player. How did Felipe Lopez and Miles Simon do. ( Simon was Darryl Strawberry's bro in law)----How about Charles O'Bannon? I think Ed O'Bannon works for a car dealership-------see that Milwaukee Mike---Jared Jeffries had them all beat.

    How about one of my favorite college players Walter Berry. Guy was all world at St.John's and I remember him getting a sniff of the pros with the Spurs and was a non-factor---how bout Dwayne Pearl Washington or Stephen Douglas of Syracuse. Lot's of good looking players that didn't make it

    Well Pacers fans wanted to kill the GM after drafting Reggie Miller over Alford so some thought he would be good

    He was at a basketball camp I went to long time ago. Looked like he should be playing golf....

    Amazing he even made the NBA.

    But you know what he said, once he was in the NBA he stopped working on his game and started working more on his golf swing.....

    What about Leroy "collard green" Jones. He was going to be a huge star in the NBA until he got hurt.

    Hassan "Hot Sauce" Adams was a favorite of mine at Zona. Nothing in the NBA except being passed around like a used up whore.

    got an inside scoop a long time ago that alvin robertson and walter berry got into it at a spurs practice because berry was sitting out and robertson said he was a pussy faker...berry pulled a knife on robertson in the locker room...the original agent zero
