Indy wrote:People knew Duncan would be MVP, championship player material when he was drafted. Garnett came out of high school and was a very high pick (9 I believe?) when that was rare, so he had loads of potential, people knew the type of player he'd be. Shaq too, he was one of the most dominant players college has ever seen.
and others have mentioned this too... but is this a hindsight thing?
from what i remember, the big thing about duncan was that he was an accomplished college player and was a legit center- though i remembe hearing some experts call him a "franchise player"
i sure didn't think he'd turn out being a better player then Robinson. the admiral was one hell of a player
did you guys really think duncan would surpass D-rob as the team's best player in only his 2nd year????
from the top of my head, most recently shaq is the only player coming out of college that almost everyone pegged as lighting up the league right away
) he'll make an immidiate impact. This guy can flat out play. Period. He's going to be the best Center the league has ever seen. In 5 years he will most likely be in his 4th season, unless he stays for a longer period of time in college, but he will already have amazing numbers. This guy could be the future of the NBA, and trust me, there isn't a better guy for that position, he's quiet, humble, and incredibly unselfish. The year in college will make him a total stud, in fact I wouldn't be surprised to see him at the number 1 spot in 5 years as hands down the best in the league.
