Role players in college don't get drafted. College stars become nba role players.

He was the only one disappointed with Adonis

RE: Adonis NBA Chances Not Good
I'm about 1000 times more concerned about his play as a TIGER than his NBA draft projections or future as a pro.

How high he is on some mock draft board doesn't win us more games or get us any higher seed.

If he plays and shoots the ball better, that other NBA stuff will take care of itself.

We all know he has more ability than he is showing.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the case on this team. He needs to be a bit more assertive, and you see flashes of what he can be. Stop being nice, and be a bit selfish. If he wants to make it to the next level, he has to think about himself a bit more and about being the ideal teammate a bit less.

Holy cow, I hope he's not reading this terrible advice. Bad for the team, and frankly bad for Adonis personally. Believe it or not, how good a teammate you are is VERY important to NBA scouts. They don't need another guy who breaks off plays. The NBA needs MORE role players, not less...

Calm down...I was simply trying to say he needs to look for his shot a little more. I probably could have used a few different words, but I'll stand by my point. Hell, Pastner has said as much. There are times, where he needs to take the ball and say "I've got this"...he's capable of doing it. I don't want him to go rogue out there, just be aggressive when he gets the ball.

RE: Adonis NBA Chances Not Good
I still think hes gone, he will likely let it all hang out and hit stride pretty soon. If he does some one will take a gamble on him in the second round, if he turns it around enough he could rocket into the first, but right now, if I'm making the pick, I'm questioning his motor.

At no time this year has he demonstrated the ability to merit a first round pick.

He has more ability, but he needs to drop 20 pounds so he can get off the floor like he does in high school vids, lift some weights to get his muscle tone back, start asserting his will on the court, quit passing the ball back to the guy who just passed it to him and on and on.

You can tell he wants to get rid of the ball the moment he gets it like its a hot potato. He's got the ability but he has no confidence, or drive, or both.

He is an enigma of enigmas.

Everyone says he has the ability, how do they know this? Ability involves both confidence and drive among other things.

He can't dribble left, they don't like guys that can't dribble left in the NBA.

He needs to drop about 20 pounds and then he'd get his quickness and athleticism would return.

In reality, the majority of these kids with pro aspirations could care less about school. It's, at least, a one year requirement to start getting paid to play basketball - which is what their ultimate goal is. AT could leave and end up in Europe next year making great money.

He would be easily replaced if that happens
