1984 Pre Draft Discussion

[Oregon Ownage]

As we enter the mid point of the college season, we already know some potential lottery selections (seniors) including:

Sam Bowie (Kentucky)
Melvin Turpin (Kentucky)
Lancaster Gordon (Louisville)
Sam Perkins (North Carolina)
Otis Thorpe (Providence)
Leon Wood (Cal State Fullerton)
Alvin Robertson (Arkansas)

There are many juniors who are thinking about forgoing their last year of eligibility and entering the draft and they include:

Patrick Ewing (Georgetown)
Xavier McDaniel (Wichita State)
Akeem Olajuwon (Houston)
Chris Mullin (St. Johns)
Detlef Schrempf (Washington)
Michael Jordan (North Carolina)
Charles Barkley (Auburn)

Who will make the jump? Players have up to April 9th to decide on their future.

It's all about the JR's. What r they gnona do?

Remember it's time of draft also though, so Bowie could be better than Jordan, and Jordan is likely not going to be the best ever

I don’t know about that. Early 80’s had a lot of big man. Even in the 70’s, players were never that tall reason you had a guy like Bill Russell, 6’9 dominating on a good team and Wilt Chamberlain, athletically gifted, dominating on a bad team. I mean even Trent Tucker and Quintin Dailey are scoring 20ppg even though they were top SG’s in sophomore season.


Drexler was truly a toss up player and there will be many more like that. Paul Pierce was another guy in the last sim similar to him. One good TC he can change.

But MJ won’t be a toss up player so the type of player he can become is truly unknown. He will be good but greatest player, I don’t know right now we are in a dominant big man league.

In FBB- it transitions. One of the keys in FBB is whenever 3P shooting becomes prevalent- some of those early 3P shooters become absolutely OP because no one else is doing it.
