Basketball player that stay incollegefor 4 year would they be better than the freshmen that went to pro ????nba 08

it varies, kg, kobe, dwight howard, josh smith, rashard lewis, bynum, tmac, lebron never went to college.

if you got the talent, you will do well.

you can't look at a few and say someone might be better off if they stay. if you're good it will show sooner rather than later.

your logic isn't really true at all.

Basketball player that stay incollegefor 4 year would they be better than the freshmen that went to pro ????nba finals ,nba teams

I think it all depends on the player. Plus you have some players who are greatcollegeplayers but their game does not necessarily translate to the pro game (ie: Adam Morrison, JJ Reddick, Marvin Williams).

In some cases- Marvin Williams could have used a couple extra years of school.

How scary would Michael Beasley be if he stayed for a couple more years???

Even some of the talented freshmen can use some extra time in College- like Kevin Love of UCLA.

Al Thornton is a good case for the value of staying incollegefor 4 years.

Durant probably could of used one more year of school- but a lot of times it is also who you are surrounded with... in Durant's case he really has no one around him.

It really depends on the player......It's very rare and I repeat "Very Rare" A player that's #1 draft pick coming straight out of High School is going to become the next, Jordan, Magic, Big O, Shaq, Wilt......that type of theme.

Lebron in my opinion is the only player that I can recall (in NBA history) that came straight out of High-School and punched in 20pts in a rookie season. The level of the NBA is truly different fromcollegelet alone high-school.......there's the intimidation of the cameras, the pressure of the free-throw line, the spotlight is on u...not some local State that you once run-ed like an empire, everything is "On U." Your the face of that organization!!

Now with your statement, if it is a statement, is somewhat true. I can agree with it.......Al Thorton understands the basics of the game, rebounding drills, passing, waiting, and pressure.....While K.D. still has along ways to go before becoming any threat in the West.

But if: U look @ the big picture btw the 2 are very huge. Let me ask you a question? who's the face of the Sonics v.s. the Hawks?

Most plp would say Sonics: Durant, Hawks: Joe Johnson

Those 2 players have 2 completely different responsibilities......ones asked to carry a team in the bloody Western Conference, that by the way has nothing that would win 25 games in a season, while the other is asked to be a 4th, 5th, or 6th option on offense.

To me I think it's really beining blessed......look at Lebron, Kobe, and K.G. what would of happend to these players if they went to College I'm sure Kobe would've been even better at an earlier age, or else we would of never heard of these guys???

Just like the the guy below me said (Nickster) U have all these players that get all this hype and holding all these NCAA records.....by the time they get to the NBA there on the bench more times than any other part of there career. (LOL) J.J. Reddick, Morrison.....its really mentally and physically degrating.....they might as well go play over sea's
nah. I think by that point it's raw talent.
Yeah but a basketball player who comes out after their freshman season is 3 years younger than the guy who played 4 more years. Players will learn a lot more about playing in the NBA in 1 year in the NBA than in 4 years of college.
just ask brandon roy
it depends on the player... look at lebron
i totally agree with u, but unfortunately they see the green and bolt.
you tell me sucker...you want a $5 million contract today or in 4 years.......figure it out. It's about the money ho, you can go to the gym and play all you want for free.
It depends on the player. I guy like Kevin Durant is probably better off being in the NBA right now because he's in a very intense weight program(which he needs). I guy like Al Thornton needed all four years of college..to make his game more complete for the NBA.
iT is not necessarily about talnet or years incollegeit matters how fast your body matures. Look at Beasly this year For Kansas St. He will be the first pick in the draft next year and he is a freshman. Some mature after one year and others after 4. It all depends on the player if someone is ready to go after one year it could be bad for them to wait. What if they got injured badly incollegeand then never got a chance. It is not just pure talent; you have to go when you are ready.
