Handy Johnson Posted May 3, 2022 Report Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Any bum can make money in the NBA *see* Doug McDermott, has he had a POY impactful career the likes of a College Super Star? Forget Dirk Nowitzki or Larry Bird, he’s not even in the conversation with Laettner or Grayson Allen. What’s his most memorable Playoff performance? Do you see kids up & down the street with his jersey on…??? The fact someone asked if he’s still in the League proves my point. Edited May 3, 2022 by Handy Johnson Craytonhater 1 Quote
Faux Mike Peltz Posted May 3, 2022 Report Posted May 3, 2022 Lots of sour grapes all around. Same from me. Moving on. I work with a dozen Jays and Jayskers and I’m getting it big time today.

Dudes getting ready for his 9th year in the NBA and has had his 3 best scoring averages in the last three years. Including his highest 3pt % this year, on the most attempts per game of his career.

Huskerpapa Posted May 3, 2022 Report Posted May 3, 2022 There is only one ball. Creighton seems to flourish by playing team ball. Sooo, it may end up being an interesting dynamic if Baylor insists on playing hero ball. Hey, I am sure they will make it happen...right? Quote

Sorry, just quickly ran through that. Of course, he's nearing on a 10 year NBA career. Quote

Some players don't translate to the NBA as well as others - it doesn't invalidate their success in college. Look at the list of POYs in the last 20 years: 2022 Oscar Tshiebwe Kentucky 2021 Luka Garza Iowa 2020 Obi Toppin Dayton 2019 Zion Williamson Duke 2018 Jalen Brunson Villanova 2017 Frank Mason III Kansas 2016 Buddy Hield Oklahoma 2015 Frank Kaminsky III Wisconsin 2014 Doug McDermott Creighton 2013 Trey Burke Michigan 2012 Anthony Davis Kentucky 2011 Jimmer Fredette BYU 2010 Evan Turner Ohio State 2009 Blake Griffin Oklahoma 2008 Tyler Hansbrough North Carolina 2007 Kevin Durant Texas 2006 J.J. Redick Duke 2005 Andrew Bogut Utah 2004 Jameer Nelson Saint Joseph's 2003 T.J. Ford Texas 2002 Jay Williams Duke Durant, AD, and Blake Griffin are probably the only ones you could categorize as "superstars" out of the whole list. A handful of guys with solid careers as journeymen similar to McDermott. And a handful of guys doing far less. What have Kaminsky, Jimmer, or Frank Mason really done? Zion can't get his his fat ass healthy and off the bench. While it's early for Garza, he isn't exactly lighting the world on fire. You can go back even further - Christian Laettner might be the best (or at least most decorated) player in CBB history. Had a very average career bouncing around from team to team. Just because most of these guys haven't had the NBA career that YOU expected doesn't mean they weren't all outstanding players in college. McDermott also had the albatross of being coached by Hoiberg around his neck for a few years. I'm sure that set his development back. Handy Johnson and millerhusker 1 1 Quote
