[QUOTE="NotThatPierre, post: 1522573, member: 746673"] As I've said, if the staff wants him, I want him. As to the NBA, your point is actually spot on. The evaluations in year one can change. But after year one, that's what you're stuck with. Your high school potential is going to be offset by your actual performance. Of course, the opposite can and does happen. Jared Sullinger might have been a top 5 pick, stayed an extra year and dropped to the 20s. I don't know how many of the people who are so high on Whitney are also in the "pay no attention to the stars" camp as well. Perhaps there's no overlap. KW's problem is that it's a net zero game. There's only so many spots open in the draft and in rosters. He's not the only guy with potential but he's likely got the worst stats of anyone he's going up against for a contract. [/QUOTE]
