Is the average professional athlete taken #4 overall in the NFL draft?

Go check and see how many Top 10 picks flamed out of the league in their first 5 years.....where you are taken does not guarantee anything.

My point is that most prof athletes (even the elite ones) end up flat broke at a very early age because they go bat poo crazy with crazy spending.

This is true, but if I had been lucky enough to have been in big-money athlete shoes like Fournette, I too would have given my sainted Mama any darned thing she wanted.

He bought her a car that's going to get trashed and not worth poo in 5 years (like him) when he could have got her a house. I can't tell what type of neighborhood that is.. but it's not the type I'd feel comfortable parking a brand new jag in lol

I'm sure if he wants he can buy her a car and a house.

You guys do realize that the average professional athlete is out of the league in less than 5 years and totally broke immediately after that.

 

A fourth overall pick isn't exactly "the average professional athlete."

At least his mom won't dump his broke ass once his career is over, unlike most of the women these guys decide to marry. 

Keyword is decide if this person wouldn't have went with you when you were dirt broke and didn't have all the poo then you take your own risk by marrying them just because she's pretty doesn't mean you need to wife her

      He doesn't have the athleticism to play in the NBA. He had the worst numbers of anyone who worked out in this draft. He's legitimately the least athletic player in this draft, which is saying something.   His ceiling is Kyle Korver, with his lack of athleticism he's more likely to be out of the league in 5-6 years like Jimmer Fredette.

      Well, he was in probably every NBA franchise's top 6 or 7. Obviously it's nice to take the swing and it work out. But when a guy refuses to work out for your team, is probably the guy refusing to play with LaMelo, has sketchy handlers, etc.? You want...to take that swing? A desperate team does, sure. Which the Hornets are. But a smart team doesn't. Which is what they will hopefully become.  Kon isn't a superstar, but his floor is Kyle Korver. Is that what you want in the 4th pick? Not really, but he's your 4th guy on a good team and what I think Charles Lee wants in a player.  Trade down would've been nice, but for who? Tre Johnson would've been my guy, but he's gone if we trade with Brooklyn. If Washington wanted Ace, I doubt it would've taken much to come get him. Trade down and get Maluach (knowing you're trading Mark) would make sense and may have been the play, but I think Kon helps the team on the court and changing a culture. Not so sure about some of the guys in the 8-12 range.
