while this is obviously great to read, this quote from the NBA personnel guy has me wondering what did he watch for the nearly 2 seasons prior to the tourney. I know his numbers went up compared to the entire regular season, but was Bazz really that different compared to when he played against "name" teams and good comp?
“Before the tournament, I would have projected him as a mid- to late-second round pick,” one NBA personnel guy told me. “But in the tournament – holy cow … ”
Another league executive told me that after watching Napier for the first time – in the games in Madison Square Garden – he went back to his college scouts and asked, “Why aren’t we talking more about this guy?”
