I'd attribute it more to where he played.

What would you say to somebody who attributed where he played to is race?

I'm only being provocative because if you think you can escape the race issue that easy, then you are wacky. Oh yeah, the race issue is real, too. Babbitt is a legit prospect who is freakishly athletic. period.

Plenty of athletic white guys have gone in the top 5, different was where they played was more respected nationally than Nevada. Morrison with Gonzaga, Miller with Florida, Van Horn, Bogut, etc.
 
I haven't seen Babbitt play one second of real basketball. A youtube video is fun and all, but a lot of college players can have youtube come film them. Doesn't mean they can really play.

This also applies to Whiteside and Aminu for me. I am trying to think of the last player drafted in the top ten who I didn't see play in college that was actually good. Scottie Pippen?

Andrew Bynum was drafted 10th a few years back, and I don't remember seein him play in college, same with Dwight Howard (1st), and mebbe a few more I can't think of right now

I was going to say Gasol, but I figured he meant individuals who actually DID play in college.

I should have worded it "didn't see them play while they played college ball". I also didn't see Bargnani play college ball or the Italian guy on the Knicks.

Actually, the most recent one I could think of would be Derrick Rose (first). He played basketball before comin to the NBA, but he never really went to college, know what I'm sayin?

I`d surly take Monroe over Cousins. Monroe is a better defender, passer, and likely better team player. Why would someone want a fat, lazy 6`11" guy who doesn`t block shots or move that well??

You realize Deron Williams struggled with weight before being drafted, right?
