How many wash out though?

It football here you have to drastically develop physically


I think these young guys need to develop more skill instead of physically. The reason so many wash out is because they never develop. They go to the NBA and it doesn't give a frick if you develop or not because its on to the next one.

When it comes down to it the most successful period of the NBA was early 80s to 2000.

That same time period is probably the most successful period of the college game. IMHO

There has to be some correlation.

I'm sure there as many young guys who wash out as guys who played multiple years in college. Hell, Laetner was pretty bad in the NBA in comparison to his college career.

But Kobe, Garnett, Dwight, Amare, Wall, Davis, etc are all examples that it can be done.

Not to mention you get the best skill training in the NBA. Kobe had a quote regarding that where he said something along the lines of "I wanted to be the best. To be the best I needed to train with the best."
