So playing with Lebron, Jamison, Mo wouldnt help him out. Lets be realistic here doggie.

He'd be relatively the same. Which further proves he looks better than he really his.

Not as much as playing with Kobe/Artest/Brown. They jack shots which allow Bynum to get boards and cheap points.

Not so much Artest, though, guys like Vujacic/Farmar do it too.

Qyntel Woods, Kedrick Brown, Shawn Kemp - all CC players who weren't nearly as hyped as those 3 coming out of college.

Joel Anthony as well I believe. None of them could have went straight to the league from HS.

How do we 'hate' Bynum?

you guys are acting like he's not good

 

[RipCity32]

I don't hate Bynum, I'm just logical.

 

[Pugz]

and it worked out for him

top 20 pick
on a team with an injury prone, old, starter
he could be getting a ton of PT

if his gpa was better and he waits a year(depending on recruits) he could have been a lottery pick..

 

[V23]

I'm not saying he's not. It's just that the players he plays with inflate his stats.

Here is where there is a miscommunication. There was no developing those guys. They were league ready from the time they stepped on a college campus. Only guys you can say cal got to the league is prolly CDR, Bledsoe, J-Dorsey, and arguably Orton..but hes living off AAU rep.

You can't say he doesn't develop them at all. Or they wouldn't go to play for him even with his good rep. You just don't believe he developed them because they were good in HS. That doesn't mean they didn't get better in college. and You have to include Demarcus on that list. In no way was he getting easy double doubles in HS like he did at UK.

haha

Kobe averaged 21 shots a game
LeBron averaged 20

Artest averaged 9.6
Jamison averaged 13 in Cleveland

who cares about Brown? he played like 15 minutes a game

He could have stayed til his senior year and not once would he have been the best guard on their roster.

Artest shot 740 times during the season which averages out to 9 shots a game over a 82 game season.

Brown shot 592 times during the season which averages out to 7 shots a game.


Those dont sound like jacking numbers to me. Kobe shoots a lot yeah. But what team would kobe not shoot a lot on.

the risk one takes with not taking class serious

if he plays the way he thinks probably thinks he should, he'll be getting a pay day
Clippers are definitely going to give him a shot

Telfair and Blake played a ton last year

thats why i said depending on recruits..

He doesnt develop the top 10 guys he gets. I watched Demarcus Cousins work Lance Stephensons hs team something serious. I watched Derrick Rose make Brandon Jennings cry. Ive seen Reke go head to head with D-Rose and Eric Gordon after just getting out the 10th grade and hold his own. These guys dont need cal.

I've seen his highlights lol my opinion still stands. Dude was not the same type of player he was in HS that he was in college. Especially maturity wise, he was even worse then he is now in HS.

 

[$tunna]

I know I'm just saying the recruits for the next two years are already better then him, Brandon Knight (next year) and Marquis Teague (year after)

gonna be even worse in the pros

he's lazy, now has a ton of free time, and cash

just ask Beasley how hard it is

although I guess Miami is a tough place for a guy trying to straighten out lol
Sacramento is boring. I lived there for a year. nothing to do

 

[elcheato]

Coach Cal doesn't need to develop anything, and he doesn't.. There is a reason his teams never win when they have the most talent, he's a horrible coach and doesn't get everything out of his players..

He still would have been a lottery pick regardless. Kobe was supposed to have attitude problems and he got drafted 13th.
