So you think Drew was NBA ready coming out of high school? He wasn't after OSU. Hence, undrafted, 3+ seasons in developmental league(Austin)/Spurs on two-way deal. According to those in the know (family) he learned more basketball in 2018 Summer league and camp than in college. Hence, his ability to hang on. Isn't that kinda a common thing, players learning more in camps and summer league than they did on college? The Rick Mahorn Big Man Camp takes younger pros, pretty sure the old Newell Big Man Camps (is it still going?) did the same. Eubanks didn't even start playing until high school. I'd bet he had limited competition in practice here compared to in the camps and summer leagues, I'd suspect that is common. Watching him here, he improved every year. He was a turnover waiting to happen when he put the ball on the floor to drive his first 2 years, his shooting outside of 12 feet or so was suspect until year 3 as well. He developed quite nicely, relatively few college players are a finished product in their first 2-3 years, especially the ones that essentially never played basketball before they got in high school. It took a couple years before his pro career reall started to take off. I'd suspect he was still learning even then. |

The point was "NBA ready"... your out of high school comment in a WT reply was implying he was out of OSU. Not that he improved each year. Or that's what you would have said as your posts are intelligent and well written. I was refuting that single implication nothing more. |

I originally was responding to zzuf's claim that Drew had to unlearn everything Wayne taught him. I think maybe we both read a little more than intended in each other's comments. Tends to happen on message boards. |

However, that doesn't mean that he is bad at everything. I feel that he does a pretty good job developing big men and he would probably make a good assistant coach in that role. |

Drew had to UNLEARN all of the garbage Wayne taught him in Austin. So you think Drew was NBA ready coming out of high school? No, you're going in the wrong direction. |

Exactly, Pop and company laughed at the techniques Wayne taught Drew. He's nowhere near the same player he was at OSU. |

Tell 'em to stop the presses! Someone needs to get this information out to the public!  And we landed on the Moon? Any more factoids that you wish to share?  I'm on the edge of my seat here. That's gold, Jerry! Gold!  |

Begs the question, what is the primary purpose of college coach? 1. win basketball games 2. develop players for the pros 3. develop boys into well-rounded and educated men 4. write in. |

That's gold, Jerry! Gold! Nope, but then again not every prospect in college has to re-learn basketball in the G-League because his coach is stuck in his 1980's ways. Drew is lucky an organization wanted to actually spend time to teach him basketball instead of leeching money from the state of Oregon. |
