College Past & NBA Future

[walkerl]

I have noticed primarily in this market, that a players college team seems to matter, especially if the player went to Duke or UNC. I live in NC, but was not raised in NC. Personally, when a guys becomes a Bobcat, I could give a shit which school he went too, because the name on Jersey, says Bobcats. And its only UNC or Duke, because people never talk about where other players went to school.

so true. i think our front office is finally starting to realize this.

I think the school they went to has an effect on how they will be in the NBA. 20/10 for Pacific University isn't as good as 20/10 for UNC. Playing in one of the Big Conferences usually (I stress usually) better prepares a guy better for the next level.

Usually because of Duke?

LOL I actually have a ton of respect for Duke, Redick is one of my favorite college ball players since I've been growing up. I don't like them, but I want the WHOLE ACC to be successful, not just my Heels.


I say usually because guys can put up big numbers in a power conference and still not play well in the NBA regardless. However, power conference play seemingly does correlate to a successful NBA career
