That is terrible, lol.
 
James Young is a guy who I really like and would love seeing in a Jazz uniform. If he is available with the GS pick he will be wearing a Jazz uniform. I will keep my eye on him to see if the hype is real but what I've seen of him I just love.

There's not a lot of hype.. but I getchu.
 
it would suprise me, tbh.

duke players historically dont win much in the nba (only duke players to win an NBA championship in the coach K era is, Danny Ferry as a benchwarmer on the 02 spurs, and now ****stain shane battier 2x)

and even more important than that, duke players just dont live up to their draft pick, yet these duke players continue to get more press for "doing it the right way"

Shelden williams was the 6th pick.
Mike Dunleavy was picked 3rd.
Jay Williams was picked 2nd.
Corey Magette was picked 13th.
Trajan Langdon was picked 11th.
Elton Brand went 1st overall.


i can go on and on but im kinda busy,

theres been a few legit duke players, but they to me dont seem like the typical "duke" players

mainly Luol Deng, and Kyrie Irving... both of these players are the clear outperformers, i think not only will Jabari get the classic "coached by coach k" bump in stock, cemented by the slobbering of dickie v' and his love for duke, and the nonstop buzzing that will go on in national media... id assume the duke hype machine will be play the "best freshman ever at duke card" to inflate his value... not that his value isnt great all by himself, wait til the hypenitis sets in

expect comparisons to durant

This is a laughable argument.

If anything, it shows that Duke (Coach K) gets more out of his players than most people would have.

You can't blame college teams for kids underperforming where they were drafted when they shouldn't have been drafted that high anyways. I mean, that would be like blaming Kentucky and Calipari for MKG not performing to his #2 draft pick.

Also, while several of those guys didn't live up to their draft slot, almost all of them (JWill due to injury and Langdon due to sucking) have probably all played at least 10 year. That my friend, is impressive.
