Why do you keep bringing up their record like it matters? Nolan Smith played on a Duke team that had a similar record.
That Duke team has just as many pro's as the Syracuse team will. Your argument that because a player played for a successful college team that will translate into a successful pro is a horrible one that has been disproven over and over. Mateen Cleaves?
Waiters only played 24 min a game Too bad he didn't play more. Maybe then he wouldn't be carrying a spare tire.
Neither of those guys are supposedly the best player on their team, and they are in the NBA. But of course the situations are exactly the same.
Historically, Syracuse is the quicksand of the draft. Odysseus wouldn't have made it back had he been seduced by the Sirens of Syracuse.
Didnt we already go over this yesterday? Look, the nba is different than college. Waiters couldnt even start on his team. Nolan smith could. If youre the best player on a college team you should be starting.
