Modern Johnnies and the NBA

What is everyone thoughts on any of these?

-Why has Moe's career in NBA not really been consistent and successful as we had hoped?

-Who is in the ears of these guys like Ponds and Champagnie that insist on an ill-fated NBA draft dive to only go undrafted when you had a year left to take advantage of and build stock? I mean how can you be satisfied with a 2-way or Euro bound contract?

I too can't believe that some 18 year olds opt for playing a game overseas for a six-figure salary as opposed to playing at SJU for free, in exchange for a shitty degree from a shitty university in a shitty county in a shitty state in what I'm assured is a shitty country, rather than hoping to hit the lottery in a couple years. Seems to me shortsighted.

Imo, Moe’s NBA career has been exceptional. He’s known as a great defender with a great attitude. NBA teams see his value despite his lack of offensive production.

Harkless was drafted on potential. He never met it on the offensive side of the ball but has been a tough defender and rebounder. He’s carved out a solid career IMO. He has a chance to play 15 years in the NBA if he can stay healthy and maybe add a little shooting.
