Subject: Leaving Duke
I graduated from Duke last May and just wanted to express my disgust for your decision to leave the Duke program after only two years. As an alum, not only do I hold the school in high regard, but the basketball program as well, especially since both have deservedly garnered such a great deal of respect for their accomplishments.
As part of our basketball program, you represent Duke as a whole. We are first and foremost an academic school, you clearly did not belong at Duke in the first place if this was the extent of your commitment to Duke and a college education in general. You have not only insulted the current students who are putting in four years at a school they love, but also the thousands of alumni who have realized the value of a Duke education and what an honor and privilege it was to be there for four years.
If you do not realize the opportunity you has infront of you to play for Coach K and at the same time attain a Duke diploma, then that is certainly your loss. I just wish that you has spared us the notion that you were continuing in the tradition of being a Duke student-athlete, in emphasizing excellence in both academics and athletics. You will not be considered part of the Duke family, in my mind as well as many others. You have by no means proved yourself worthy of that title.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Taylor |

Date: February 8th, 2019 3:59 PM Author: Galvanic useless brakes doctorate as frustrating as its been to see them get so little for such good picks
they're batting pretty close to the league average on top 6 picks
they've had 5 top 6 picks in the process era, and 2 of them have turned into All Stars
All Stars from the top 6 picks since 2005:
'05 - 2
'06 - 2
'07 - 2
'08 - 3
'09 - 2
'10 - 2
'11 - 1
'12 - 3
'13 - 1
'14 - 1
'15 - 3
lets cut it off there to give the class of '16 some more time
that's 22/66, so 2/5 is actually beating the league average
of course, if 1 of those 3 misses go the other way, next 10 years probably look different
--------
all in all, they've landed on their feet pretty well, they've got a good team right now

Date: February 8th, 2019 1:58 PM Author: naked thriller parlor ape In the NBA, an example is LaRue Martin, drafted 1st overall in the 1972 NBA Draft ahead of Bob McAdoo and Julius Erving. McAdoo and Erving went on to be elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and are both usually mentioned as all-time greats, whereas Martin only played four NBA seasons for a career average of just over 5 points per game before retiring as arguably the biggest NBA draft bust ever. Other NBA draft busts include Sam Bowie (1984, who had a modestly productive though injury-prone career, but is particularly infamous for having been drafted one spot ahead of Michael Jordan), Ed O'Bannon (1995), Michael Olowokandi (1998), Kwame Brown (2001), Darko Miličić (2003), Adam Morrison (2006), Greg Oden (2007), Hasheem Thabeet (2009), Jonny Flynn (2009, who was famously taken one spot before Stephen Curry) and Anthony Bennett (2013).

Date: February 8th, 2019 2:01 PM Author: Arousing Roast Beef There were two major red flags on Fultz: 1) He chose to hide away for one year in complete anonymity in Washington, instead of going to play for a real program. Seriously, who grows up in the heart of ACC/Big East country and chooses to play at UW (not even Arizona or UCLA)?
2) Not only was he unable to elevate UW to relevancy, but they suffered their second worse season in the program's 100+ year history.
So, I figured he would disappoint, but not to this extent obviously. I thought he might be like a Stephon Marbury. Guy who puts up numbers, but isn't a real leader and never wins anything. |
|
Date: February 8th, 2019 2:22 PM Author: Mauve Ungodly Locale Legend Regarding 1, I always assumed they paid him off somehow.

Simmons), a 1st round pick (albeit top 20 protected) and a 2nd rounder. It's a solid B trade for the Sixers. The Fultz pick/trade was obviously an F but that was Colangelo the nepotist (at least the Kings' pick won't convey all that high). No sugarcoating that. But they've moved on and if Fultz had been successful they likely wouldn't have needed Butler/Tobias, so they'll be just fine regardless.
