Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2401162, member: 488"] The thing that is so crazy to consider about Kemba is how good he was in college. He's gotten so much better since he entered the league that it's mind-blowing to think that his starting point was "best single season in UConn history." He doesn't really fit the model of any other star player - seemingly everybody else either made a huge leap right after college (Leonard, Butler, George, Westbrook, etc.) or continued to progress into the stud everybody thought they'd be (Davis, Towns, Griffin...). The only guy that comes to mind really - where everybody thought he was close to peaking as a dominant college player and then continued to get exponentially better in the pros - is Curry. His progression as a player is very unusual in that he made a quantum leap at both levels. A guy like Wall has gotten a lot better in the pros, but he was supposed to. Nobody saw this coming. [/QUOTE]
