RE: Zero NC State players selected in first round of NBA draft

You know we only had one person declare for the draft right? Our players actually like to stay and play for our coach. And he was a senior anyway. I'd much rather have a seasoned veteran team than one filled with a bunch of freshmen and sophomores. But that's just me. Maybe UNC fans feel differently. Maybe the players wanted to get out of the heat of the academic fraud.

I think Gottfried will not have much trouble recruiting agains Huck. Once the basketball program gets pulled in to the academic fraud, he will only get the academically challenged recruits. I'm sorry, he's getting those already. Didn't 7 on the 2005 championship team all major (clustering) in AA studies? You are right. If you all keep giving diplomas for athletes (not students) you will continue to get the good players that have IQ's of about 70! Did you listen to some of the playhers (not unc) last night. Most of them couldn't answer a question. They mumbled.

Must be embarassing for Ol' Roy to sit there and think "Dad gummit, 4 NBA players in the top 17 and we didn't even make the Final 4? Dang your hide, Bill Self!"

1st round, pick 15 - 2006 draft

Garbage player (barely sniffed the floor) for 5 teams in 3 yrs before being traded to Food Lion lol

ANY guess as to who this "wolfie" was Danny boy?

and

1st round, pick 20 - 2005

Yet another garbage wolfie who somehow mangaed "2" years before
Winn Dixie came a calling :)

danny boy? any guess on this wolfie?

1st round, 11th pick, 1996 draft (yeah, had to go pretty far back to find the next first round wolfie before 2005)

He played in five NBA seasons from 1996-2001 for the Warriors, Utah Jazz, Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat averaging 3.7 ppg. This has led many sports sources to include on NBA draft lottery "bust" lists.

Danny?? Danny?? Danny??

:)

Wolfies dont get many 1st rounders, but when they do, you can bet, 90%
are gonna be busts.

Sorry Danny Boy
