Who will make the best pro currently playing in the Big East?
« on: February 17, 2009, 03:06:58 PM »
Before last night I thought it might be Thabeet, but he got tooled on. Now I think Hazell or Johnny Flynn might be good pros, but they have to stay in college, I dont think theyre ready. Are their alot of future NBA players playing in the Big East? Im not so sure, anyway it seems like their is less NBA talent than recent years.

Kemba could become pretty damn good...Thabeet is still getting better every year...DeJuyan Blair is a beast he'll do well but he's a little undersized.

I think Kemba has the highest upside.

i like mcneal to be a real good combo guard. his teammate Mathews could be good. blair is going to be a beast as well, he just knows how to play

Flynn, hands down!
Blair will struggle in the pros and Thabeet does not have a polished offensive game, plus the NBA is moving away from classic centers anyway.

Thats what I was thinking. How is Roy Hibbert doing?

Forget Hibbert, Oden is struggling! NBA right now is a guard/forward league!
Mutombo would be his absolute upside, Hibbert would be his downside IMO.
Blair would not be able to play this way in the NBA!

AJ Price gonna make a roster? How about Scottie Reynolds? Devendorf?

Devin Ebanks could be a nice pro, again he needs to stick around awhile

Absolutely. He has a higher degree of skill than Flynn and will have a much better shot.

I guess if he wound up in the right system, but there are more failed undersized 4's than Milsap's

Greg Monroe has potential as well, but if I had to bet I would still go with Flynn.

Will Monroe be a center or PF in the NBA?
