Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4028193, member: 181"] Nelson was very good during St Joe's' most special year, and he performed better in the NBA than Ben Hansbrough and Jimmer Fredette, but I'd have still chosen Emeka and Kemba as NCAA Players of the Year in 2004 & 2011 respectively. I was very happy that Adama chose UConn, reclassified, and played as well as he did last year. Offensively, he was the most mature freshman center that I can ever recall at UConn, and I hope his game continues to grow, especially in ways that would help him to create an NBA career. As others have said, Emeka was an early surprise in late 2001 starting against Arizona, and fully warranted his All American status, National Championship ring, and #2 draft pick. That's a tall order for Adama. [/QUOTE]
