Your first point is irrelevant and your second is just wrong. Straight line speed is almost never a factor in trying to figure out if a bball player is a good athlete or not. Quickness (which I'd argue he had for his size), strength (yes) and hops (not debatable) are better indicators. Great defenders in college bball, outside of the 5 spot, are often more cerebral players. Though I think he's overrated, look at someone like craft, who isn't the fifth best athlete on his team, or, closer to home, Giffey. Overwhelming athleticism is a greater boon on the offensive end and manifest itself in things like massive dunks, ability to bull your way to the rim with your back to the basket, rebounding, etc. I know that you're so deep in you wrongness at this point that you can't backtrack but let's be serious, stanley was a phenomenal athlete by anyone's standards. Comparing him to Rudy (who is one of the better athletes in the nba - why do you think he gets paid so much? potential.....based on athleticism) and Boatright (one of the better athletes this year in college bball - ever wonder why he's always the smallest guard on the court?) doesn't prove anything except the idea the UConn brings in outrageous athletes regularly. Also, Stanley did get drafted - which is the definition of someone taking a flier on him, so there's that.
