Wojo 2 NBA

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

I see McEwen as a combo. He and Markus will share PG duties and be pretty interchangeable on offense.

Markus will need to prove he can defend at least a little and increase his assist rate to make the NBA.  Even then, size and athleticism are working against him. An interesting contrast of production versus tools.

Fair assessment.

Not really, but K's recent trend has been better than Cal's.

Well, you have to consider that K didn't embrace the 1 and dones until 2015 (Parker and Jones) and won a natty that year; since then they have been Sw16, lost in 2nd round and E8.

Cal won his NC in 2012 and didn't make the tourney at all in 2013 (and lost in the first round of the NIT), next two years were F4 years, but since then they haven't done much.

And I think K does a better job of sprinkling in veteran players, which helps success.  Cal's players either go pro or transfer in 1-2 years with the program.

Pretty sure the Parker year was either the 15 seed beating Duke either Lehigh or Mercer. You're thinking of the Okafor team I believe.

Yes, you're correct.

I read an article about scouts watching NCAA games.  Basically, they were trying to imagine what role guys could play in the NBA.  Example was Nigel Hayes.  Offense went through him at Wisconsin, but the scout said that will never happen in the NBA. So he was trying to look at him at a 3 and D guy.  So with so much data and video available, I'm not sure how much college coaches help/ hurt players' stock.

Nah.  He suffered that injury in his sixth NBA season at the age of 28.  Up until then he was about a 15/3/2 guy.  Solid player but not an all star.

Butler is 28 this year, is a 20/6/4 player, and has already made 4 all star games.

I didn't say he was as good - I said he "could have been in the same ballpark." Very different.

The couple of seasons before his injury, he was being talked about as a possible all-star someday.

Simply stated: If you're good enough, they usually will find a role for you.

A few guys do slip through the cracks, but not many.

No he could not have been in the same ballpark.  By 28 you are generally are who you are.

Just ask Jake Arrieta.
