Why does it not matter that a potential draftee to the NBA has multiple collegiate championships?

I'm sure dumb people think team accomplishment is important when looking at individual players.

So, you have them to preach to I guess.

 

Christian. Laettner.

 

How a player contributed to those championships should matter imo. Was he/she vital in winning? In Clingans case, yes.
Also, putting Sheppards name in a thread about championships is cruel breh.

 

I'll say it again for those in the back who missed it the first time:

CHRISTIAN. LAETTNER.

None of it means jack.

 

What are you expecting from a weak draft? Was Laettner a complete bum?

 

What I'm saying is that winning the NCAA championship as a key contributor, or even one of the greatest NCAA players in history does not mean a damn thing when it comes to the NBA. Laettner wasn't a total bum, but he did go from being the best player in college and beating Shaq to a Dream Team slot to a thoroughly mundane NBA career that peaked with 1 all star appearance and 18ppg in his best season. Hardly an argument that winning the NCAA makes you some great NBA player.

 

It only matters if all other things are equal. In this case (Shepp vs Clingon), they’re not.

And btw HLM, stop creating shitty threads.

 

When is trash day on the GARM? Mods need to come collect OP and whatever other accounts he has

 

The way the modern draft works at least is the high talent guys don't have enough years in college to have multiple NCAA titles. The blue chip prospects are in the NBA right after their freshmen year. Maybe in the 90s you'd see more NCAA titles winner become stars because a lot more high end talent did at least three years in college. But not today.

 

Nah you're dead wrong. Christian Laettner won 2 championships in the NCAA, best player in college by far. Did nothing in the NBA. Conversely, Steph Curry didn't win any and is one of the greatest NBA players of all time. What the **** does Reed's Dad have to do with anything? Our coach is an incredible coach, trash ass benchwarmer in the NBA though. Jabari's Dad? Pretty trash tier NBA player. Let's look at it the other way, Lebron James has a kid, he's obviously gonna be the goat right because of who his dad is? How about Shaq? His kid's gonna be WAY better than average player Dell Curry's son right? Seriously, stop framing nonsense as logic, it's stupid.

 

What have our draft picks ever won? Did I miss the part where college champions become all-stars on the next level? Off the top of my head it's only Jalen Brunson at the moment. Many of the elite prospects are one and done now. They barely have the opportunity to win one college championship, forget about multiple. If the stars align it can happen like with Melo. In most years the championship pedigree means absolutely nothing for the NBA.

 

Nah you're not allowed to use Brunson. OP's narrative is that only players with parents who were GOOD in the NBA go on to be good players. Rick Brunson was pure scrub so Jalen's abilities don't count any more.

 

Excuse me Donovan….. May I asked why you are so passionate about being a Rocket? There really isn’t a clear pathway for you to start here over the next few few years.

 

Nah, you don't get to put words in my mouth. I never said that anywhere, we don't agree, and you're an ass.
