Amazing how far McAdoo fell. I remember him being a guaranteed Top 5 pick.

Interestingly, he and Adonis were often compared.

There are some pretty decent names on that list.

DeAndre Daniels caught my attention. From what I saw against us and then in the conference and NCAA tourney I thought he would be able to make a roster.

Chane...well, that's just a shame.

As for Adonis I never ever got what people saw in him. To me he was simply a decent college player that could get you 10-12 pts and 5-7 boards if he was dedicated enough.

A lot of tweeners make it now. Adonis just isn't good enough. Nothing wrong with that however. Lots aren't

Adonis hype came from playing with the US National team. Scouts loved that he was athletically dominate. If you already have the athleticism, they figure they can teach you everything else. The hype was based on what he could become, not what he was. After the injury and the weight, he lost his athleticism which was his claim to fame.

I never saw the athleticism either at least to not that degree.

Didn't Adonis only have one dunk his entire time at Memphis? That is pretty bizarre.

Must be the lack of coaching development.

A bunch of those guys are head cases. The NBA is not gonna take those types unless they feel like they are going to be superstars
