Phil Jackson: Duke Players Fail To Live Up To Expectations In The NBA

[setzer2030]

 

Grant Hill had 2 or 3 years at a star level, so have hundreds of other players.

His 2-3 years at star level earned him 7 all star appearances.

To be fair, most UNC fans will tell you Marshall had NO business being a first rounder. He was way overhyped. 

not with his jumper, quite possibly the ugliest one in the game. crazy good passer though.

The allegation poo has literally killed UNC's recruiting.  At this point, expect Giles to sign with Duke as well.  

it's between WF and Duke. UNC is not in the picture. 

And lol at this thread.

Nope. But I do have a signed Julius Peppers, Harrison Barnes, and Lawrence Taylor UNC jerseys hanging up in my apartment. In frames, if that counts.

you have a jersey of a child molester hanging up in your apartment?  You are a sick fug

Shawn Marion had the worst jumper.  Kendall can't get on a team so...........

at least Marion's could go in the basket. i think kendall healthy is not a bad option as a backup PG, but he doesnt do much for you on defense or offense asides from passing.

Correct on all accounts.  Just because the jumper goes in the basket, doesn't mean it's pretty.  Marions was arguably the ugliest poo ever.  Well, maybe besides MKG's old jumper.  Yeesh.

I'm pretty sure slow, unathletic, "destined to be a role player", drafted in the second round Carlos Boozer has vastly exceeded expectations. 

A couple all star appearances, five years or so averaging a double double, and consistently being a force down low with a solid midrange game. 

The whole league slept on this man on draft night. 

And to think that many expected Sean May to be more successful.

Raise your hand if you didn't think May would be successful.  *raises hand*

Lol true *raises hand*. Ultimate "sell tickets to UNC fans" pick.

Saw that dude drunk downtown Charlotte one night.  So out of shape, zero muscle on his body.  I knew he was done.

Oh yeah, I was in college at the time. We would frequent uptown clubs and bars. Ever other time we would go out, we would see him. It was ridiculous. 

On a side note, I once saw Emeka Okafor at a club that has been renamed a few times, "Forum"...he was probably one of the chillest and polite athletes I have ever talked to. Very kind dude. Was sad to see him leave Charlotte. Just because he wasn't as good as Dwight Howard, doesn't mean this fan didn't appreciate the work he put in here.

He was solid man.  Just picked the wrong year after the wrong person.
