Message: [QUOTE="BlueMAB, post: 2140768, member: 920"] I think he could be special next year. As I said before, if he makes the same level of improvement from Soph to Jr year as he did from Frosh to Soph year, then he will be somewhere in those projections. All I've said is that he's got work to do. He can't come back next year being the same player he is today, and be considered one of the best (i.e., worth a first round pick). You can measure "the best" however you want. I think of them as 1st round draft picks. Guys with guaranteed NBA contracts. The 2nd rounders tend to be a mix between guys that might make a squad, and guys that are loaded with "potential" who end up stashed overseas for a few years. It's difficult to judge whether teams are seriously trying to gain value with their second round picks when you watch the Lakers draft Ater Majok. [/QUOTE]
