JJ Reddick isn't in the great category. Either is Chandler Parsons, but he went 4 years. Damian Lillard is a stud...he went to Weber State of all places for 4 years.

Other guys include David Lee, Draymond Green, Roy Hibbert.

Didn't Jo stay here all 4 years? Maybe he's not considered as "great"? Is to me though.

Um, no. The 04s left after 3 years.

I believe he left at the end of his Junior year.

Well darn, for some reason I thought they all stayed that extra year to get the back to back NCs.

Dang Nav! They won it their sophomore and junior year.

If only they had stayed one more year, maybe Billy would still be with us.

Doubt it. Billy D has always been interested in the NBA. It was inevitable he was going, he was just waiting for the right spot to land.

You're probably right. I guess I'm just a little depressed because all these other guys have me convinced this White dude sucks.

Did steph curry play 4 years?

What's Calipari's excuse? Too many freshman?

Comparing to the exception, not the rule? Name another coach that deals with 1-and-done like the KY BBall factory does. Every other program loses kids early, but not the annual reload volume that KY deals with. Most everyone else has the kids for 2-3 years, at least among the better programs where talent can go early.

I'm just sick of Cal's excuse of the "they're freshman excuse. He created this monster and he often complains about it.

Nope. He was a three year college player.

Only Lillard and Draymond could even begin to be in the discussion but they are very early in their careers. Obviously Duncan is one in a million and you just don't see it anymore. Crazy to think that was the list that could be thought of.

TLB, I can name another. Duke.
They sent like 4 freshman to the NBA last season after winning the championship. Duke is beating Kentucky at their own one and done game.

The differences between Coach K and Calipari are:
1) Coach K can actually coach vs. only recruit
2) Coach K is adored and promoted by BSPN to include being placed in their commercials
