So... the NBA Draft is tomorrow on ESPN. For those who have not been following it is not expected to be the deepest pool of talent the NBA has seen. Experts are saying that there are potentially only 4 future all-stars in this draft class (John Wall, Evan Turner, DeMarcus Cousins, and Derrick Favors). With John Wall, point guard from Kentucky expected to go #1 to the Washington Wizards. But after the first four picks they are projecting a bunch of guys that will basically be no-names to anyone that doesn’t watch basketball faithfully. That equals 4 SUPERSTARS out of 60 guys to be drafted, or 0.067%. I personally feel like there will be more guys that will prove the experts wrong and be stars in this league.
Unfortunately, a majority of these young men have so-called “friends”, family and agents in their ears telling them how great they are when really they are not. Take a look in the mirror and be extra critical of yourselves. These guys were unstoppable in High School and great in College but the NBA is a whole other BEAST! A beast that destroys kids that aren’t ready to work hard and become students of the game. I wish all the best to every young man out there that is so close to living out their dream. Just don’t become complacent once you are drafted and your dream becomes a reality. Improve your game everyday and listen to those that knows what it takes. The best players in the NBA have skills and smarts!!!
