Of course you have a guy like Rudy Gay who everyone in the NBA wants, but who has been inconsistent as anything this year. It really is a guessing game sometimes.

I'm not so sure that Reddick's defense is as bad as you're saying - he's not a great athlete, though, and the NBA is now officially the League of the Athlete (TM). However, guys like Wally Szerbiak (who Reddick is probably better than right now) still make a good living and can contribute to winning teams . . . without a ton of work he's probably an 18-min guy, but a contributor.
Also, the Duke list should include pre-accident Bobby Hurley and Jay Williams, both of which were all-rookie teamers and had pretty promising careers destroyed by ridiculous car wrecks. Really, has Duke fared any worse than, say, UCONN or any other school in terms of success? It's not like The Khalid or Big Jake Voskul's Haircut did a whole lot . . . it's just hard to make the leap, you know?

I can't imagine why you think Alford would do so poorly - I mean, he just beat your ass in your own house like, what, 5 days ago? He's by no means perfect (a surprisingly bad teacher for shooters, 'iffy' recruiting decisions HI PIERRE PIERCE) - but the guys play hard for him, and he'd be a recruiting juggernaut at IU . . .
