As the board Rep Scrooge, I second that. If I ever repped anyone, you'd be the lucky man of the hour. Congratulations!
That is a huge factor. Michael Jordan is a good example. You knew he was all star material when you saw him in college, but no one knew he was he was all-of-fame material. At least according to James Worthy.
Fair enough - but they were still *good* in college. That is in sharp contrast to someone like Gobert who has no track record of success against high level competition. How does a player who was a mediocre reserve in Europe become a lotto pick?
"“He was simply awful today,” one GM told us about Shabazz Muhammad. Slow, stocky, selfish, can't jump, only drives left, he couldn't buy a basket from outside. Did he even want to be here?” We heard others echo similar thoughts. “I'm kind of warming up to Muhammad,” a number of different executives expressed. “There's no doubt he was the best player in his group. You gotta love that hunger to score. He's an aggressive, competitive kid. He got after it today. I didn't like him during the season but I'm starting to see what all the hype was about.” --DX
In the eye of the beholder, I guess? funny how people can see things differently. Wonder which group will be correct.
So, either Shabazz was an absolute train wreck, or the best player in his group. Love the consistency in the descriptions of him.
Is this for real? That is hilarious. Let the games begin. Any anonymous quotes from here on out from employees from teams should be ignored. It's like a game of liars poker. The more they talk down a player, the more likely they want him. The more they rave about a player, the more they want someone else to take him.
