A couple more thoughts

Just asking: nearing the end or right after the NBA draft concludes, will anyone in the national media make note that two WAC UNDERCLASSMEN went in the top 12 or 13 plus that three players -- ALL UNDERCLASSMEN -- from the little bitty league were selected?

This versus one second-rounder from the MWC.

Should we be holding our breath?

+++++

We are joking to a degree but waaaay too much credit is being given here -- c'mon, at worst PTW could have 'svengalied' John Wall into the #2 spot in LAST year's NBA draft (behind Blake Griffin) plus similar draft landings for fellow freshmen for DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton.

We're not knocking him (on this matter) but the meme that John-Calipari-gets-players-to-the-NBA as a major reason why kids sign on with Kentucky is a hollow and laughable one.
