Paolo has got to be the "least likely buyers remorse" All the recent top NBA stars ALL had these moments in tourney. Curry Blake Carmelo Wade Davis Herro Randle etc. Walker Conley Does anyone remember a recent lottery pick that performed on this level in the tourney AND didn't produce next level? Just looked up Harden as I don't remember him at all in the tourney... He made it sophomore year and idk the box scores looked like he choked hard scoring wise lol.
Idk if Jahlil performed on that level like the others above. That Duke team had Winslow, Cook, Grayson, Tyrus Jones all taking turns dominanting. Lol ok fair but rookie year isn't even complete and I think he is remembered in the tourney more so for choking hard. Oh yeah Shabazz is a good call but he wasnt a lottery pick he is like Robbie Hummel territory. Jeremy didn't lead anything his tourney wasn't memorable (Drummond and Lamb out early smh) those UCONN teams were are Kemba and Shabazz... Nice clip brought back Jimmer memories he definitely qualifies and Patrick O'Byrant and that center Toronto drafted in 2000s I think.
True, but Shabazz was all the buzz mainly due to his tournament play. Enough for LeBron to say he wanted Napier on his team. Led to Miami obtaining him.
He did have an epic tourney run similar to the best of them. Forgot why he fell so far and now I think I remembering LeBron campaigned for Johnny Flynn too.
Banchero and Williams stocks are going up. Might have to add to the Nets pick to trade up to get Mark with our second draft pick.
