Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5157227, member: 1268"] I feel like when it comes to NBA alum quality and evaluations you have to tier the buckets with a large gap between iconic players and the rest as their brand value is deep. The value of iconic players is exponential to just good starters. When down at the UT game this year their shops were littered with Durant merch. It made me realize how even one iconic NBA player, even if with your program for only a year, can be the core to marketing. Look at Cuse with Melo. Gtown effectively has 3-4 of those. UConn really only has one (Ray). I’d put Marquette firmly ahead of us with DWade and Butler for the same reason. It’s why that Gtown program getting good is really important for the BE - they’re the OG of college bad boys, and has the right coach for that brand.
