Coach K's soon-to-come accomplishment

But,,,, a large part of why so many of his players get drafted so high only to flop has as much to do with ESPN infactuation as anything. Mike Dunleavy, JJ Reddick, Shavlick (sp?) Randolph, Christian Laettner, the list goes on and on of players who were vastly "over-drafted" and have panned out to be nothing more than role players in the NBA. Kyle Singler will be the enxt on this list. Solid college player, but will never do anything more than be a 8 ppg guy in the NBA.

Honestly, people make too much about a player being great only to flop in the NBA. I could care less about how they do in the NBA.

Similar situation is Tebow. Tebow is one of the greatest college football players to ever lace them up, but people always want to say he is crap becaus he won't be able to do in the NFL. SO! That doesn't take away from him being a great college football player!

As for dUKe players, they are teh epitomy of what college basketball should be all about. The believe in team, and they have proven to be the best team in basketball under K's reign. May not translate in Titles, but wins, he's hands down the best, because he has the players that believe in what he is doing. I could give a crap how those players turn out to be in the NBA
