Let's say the Indiana State version of Larry Bird is leaving school & is in this year's draft. In other words, we don't know he's an all time great yet. But we do know he's a 6'9" guy who can shoot the lights out, pass like a PG, rebound etc. We also look at him the way guys are dissected now & note that he's slow, can't jump, played against low level comp. etc.
Throw him into the pool of talent available in this year's draft.....when does he get picked & by whom?
We also would have watched this kid lead his team to the finals (is that apart if the fantasy?) I think he, like Morrison two years ago gets drafted at least top 5. One thing thats hard to measure is a persons heart. Bird played with a lot of passion, plus he led a mid-major to the finals. That has to count for something.
