Len Will Be An NBA Bust

Maybe not a total bust, but I don't think he will ever be starter worthy.

 

Just hope and pray for McLemore. Noel should develop nicely at the next level too. Couldn't even be mad with Bennett or Oladipo. But no thanks to Len.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Based on the the white boy factor?

 

..thxs bizarro Nolan Norowoki..

 

But Noel should develop nicely..lol

That and I watched a lot of Maryland's games. He was useless for the majority of their games. I know college play doesn't translate to NBA play, but if you can't perform against a lot of NBA ready ACC players, then I don't like your chances in the NBA.

I watched a lot of Maryland games too and more often than not if he disappeared it was because for some reason his teammates and coaching staff seemed to forget he was in the game.

I don't see Len making an immediate impact, but he has the potential to be a very boring fundamental stretch 5 that you build a team around.

 

I hate to make the comparison because I know he isn't in the same ballpark, but he has the tools to be like Tim Duncan if he reached his max potential, but could also be a bust like Sean May if he is a softy.  I would assume he is going to land somewhere in-between.

So you have no basis for your post?

Great thread...

If you're going to make a claim like this at least provide some reasoning why.

By the way, reasoning doesn't include your opinion.

 

Wait...what? Opinions are exactly the reason why everyone's rankings are different. Just by picking which stats to look at and deciding how they will translate from college to the NBA, you are including your own opinions. If opinions weren't allowed then this time of year would be SIGNIFICANTLY less exciting because everyone would know who is going where. There is no science, no formula, that will tell you how good someone will be. For that reason, opinions are necessary to judge what stats and such are worth looking at.

Facts>Opinions

I could say Len has not post game (opinion)...

But then realize that 60% of his offense came from the post (fact)...

See the difference...

What about the fact that he played against 6'9", 210 pound Centers in college*? That could eliminate a good portion of that 60%. There is subjectivity even in stats when you consider how they will translate into the NBA.

 

Like I said, it's not as cut and dry as you are making it out to be. If it was, we would know exactly who was going where as soon as the draft lottery was set. That's the reason for the Combine, why scouts have jobs, and why ordinary fans spend so much time and money on watching highlights, watching TV, and reading mock drafts.

 

*Note: This is not my actual argument against Len, just an example.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
