i honestly can't think of a ku player that has succeeded in the nba.  pierce, maybe?  but he's had garnett to hide him.  and he absolutely hates ku/lawrence, so he doesn't really count.

jake pullen has done more in one day of summer league than all ku players of the past 50+ years combined.  pretty telling, i think.

In fairness Nick Collinson (sp?) hasn't raped or murdered anyone (that we know of) in OKC.

Pretty much what the Big 12 refs told him every game, too.

Watching OKC play DET.

I have never seen a big less involved/interested in the offensive end of the floor.  Maybe Danny can whisper from Tulsa?

Also Kim English looks active and effective.

If 23,000 points is "marginal", then Indiana State can't claim any NBA success either.

As bad as Aldrich has been (not playing today) Taylor has been the polar opposite. 

Meaning he doesn't seem to suck.

Cole was getting manhandled on the block during yesterday's NBA Summer League Game by Jared Sullinger, who is still appx.. 10 pounds overweight with a sketchy back. Watching Cole play yesterday, it honestly looks like he hasn't improved any part of his game since leaving KU. Mostly because he plays like he has no interest in the sport of basketball. When he gets caught in traffic with the ball, the possession never ends good because he has absolutely zero post moves and is a highly underrated terrible passer out of the post. His lack of strength (he looks skinnier now than he did when at KU) greatly affects his rebounding numbers because he cannot get any type of decent position on/off the block. Cole is simply not strong enough to be the kind of player who is going to get 3-4 easy tip buckets from cleaning up random offensive rebounds, which ironically, is the only way he is ever going to be able to score buckets in the NBA. As it stands now unless he starts hitting the weights super intense (e.g. Think Morris Twins pre-Sophmore season) Cole is destined to be a lottery bust in the tradition of Eric Montross and many other exceptionally large white american males.

The NBA hasn't found a way to motivate him the way holding the livelihood of your family over your head can.  Bill is a master.

hey remember when other possible hall of fame players went to play with him and than left for half the money offered to stay because PP is such a TCFP.  I do because it was like last week.

So, he's a good passer?   :confused:

He is highly underrated at being a terrible passer. Makes perfect sense. He is the worst rough ridin' passer in the world out of the post.

Nice to see Josh Selby doing well in the summer league after escaping Massa Self, a true Harriet Tubman type. So inspirational

Sounds like Cole isn't thinking of his family. Now his parents are going to have to get jobs given to them again. Sad.
