Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2218570, member: 153"] This is the year Daniels came out: [URL="http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/playerrankings/_/class/2011/order/true"]ESPN Basketball Recruiting - Player Rankings[/URL] How many top 50 players made the NBA? Calhoun we know got hurt. He looked like a stud freshman year. His hip surgery robbed him of his explosiveness. As for Hamilton, he repeated the pattern that his brothers did. He left school early and ended up in the D-League. Daniels definitely improved greatly under Ollie. There can be no doubt. I would argue that he was unstoppable in that NCAA tourney. The fact that it didn't translate to the NBA makes him like 90% of the kids in the top 50 of that class. Deandre was even drafted. Which is something only 20-25% of the top 100 accomplish. From 2003 to 2014, only 123 of the 867 4-star players (all of them top 100) were drafted. Many fewer made the NBA. Go back and look at Deandre Daniels' class. So few were drafted. So few made the NBA. So few became productive players. [/QUOTE]
