Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2781591, member: 488"] People were quick to declare somebody who was the 24th overall pick and now on his third contract a bust. From that same draft, #9 (Noah Vonleh), #15 (Adreian Payne), #17 (James Young), #18 (Tyler Ennis), #20 (Bruno Carboclo), #21 (Mitch McGary), #22 (Jordan Adams), #26 (P.J. Hairston), #28 (C.J. Wilcox), and #29 (Josh Huestis) are all unsigned for next season. Additionally, only about three of the last ten other players to go in that slot have had legitimate NBA careers to this point (Reggie Jackson, Tim Hardaway, and Tyus Jones). I never thought he'd be an NBA player when he got here as a freshman. Even now, I'm still impressed by his survival skills - he doesn't really fit the prototype has really just hung around because he's too good to get rid of. I can picture teams bringing him into workout and just sort of sighing when he outplays their real prospects. [/QUOTE]
