  • The Case for Kevin By
    The Case for Kevin By Http://DraftKevinDurant.Blogspot.Com 24 June 2007 Please send comments, questions, corrections and additional citations to: [email protected] Background : In 1984, a decision was made that altered the course of the Portland Trailblazers and left mental and emotional scars on their fan base that exist to this day. That decision, of course, was to draft Kentucky center Sam Bowie with the team’s #2 pick in the NBA draft, leaving Michael Jordan, who became the undisputed greatest basketball player in the history of the world, to the Chicago Bulls at #3. In a recent interview, Houston Rockets President Ray Patterson defended the Blazers’ decision to draft Bowie, stating, “Anybody who says they would have taken Jordan over Bowie is whistling in the dark. Jordan just wasn't that good.”1 “Jordan just wasn’t that good? ” Reading that quote more than twenty years later, it’s almost impossible to fathom that there existed a day in which “basketball people,” the executive who today are paid millions of dollars to judge the relative mental and athletic skills of teenagers, could not determine that the mythic Michael Jordan was, and would be, a better basketball player than the infamous Sam Bowie. Many things have changed since 1984: AAU youth basketball allows fans to watch players at younger ages, the internet disperses grainy street court video across the world, the NBA has its own television network making famous any and all of its players, mathematical algorithms are used by executives to aid in personnel judgment, and scouts, writers, journalists and bloggers are able to weigh the relative merits of players in ways never thought possible in 1984.

  • Beasley, Douglas-Roberts, Hansbrough and Love Named Naismith Men's
    BEASLEY, DOUGLAS-ROBERTS, HANSBROUGH AND LOVE NAMED NAISMITH MEN’S COLLEGE PLAYER OF THE YEAR FINALISTS Fans Will Have An Opportunity To Vote Using Their AT&T Phone ATLANTA (March 23, 2008) – Two juniors and two freshmen headline the list of finalists for the 2008 Naismith Men’s College Player of the Year Award presented by AT&T the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced today. Michael Beasley (Kansas State), Chris Douglas-Roberts (Memphis), Tyler Hansbrough (North Carolina) and Kevin Love (UCLA) make up the final ballot. CBS Sports will profile the four Naismith Trophy finalists during its coverage of the 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship starting with the first games of the NCAA ® Sweet 16® on March 27. “There is such a strong correlation between these finalists and season’s their schools are having,” said Gary Stokan, Atlanta Tipoff Club president. “And each has achieved tremendous success which is difficult to do with all of the expectations placed upon them. We know any one of them would be a deserving Naismith winner.” “This is the fourth straight year that AT&T has had the honor of giving fans a voice in selecting the winner of the prestigious Naismith Trophy,” said Tim McGhee, director of National Sponsorships for AT&T. “These four athletes all had outstanding seasons, and we’re expecting this to be a really tight contest.” Finalists were chosen through a vote by the Atlanta Tipoff Club’s Board of Selectors, who narrowed the mid-season list of 30 candidates down to the final four. The Board, which is comprised of leading basketball journalists, coaches and administrators from around the country, based its criteria on player performances this season.

Results 35 8. Conclusion 47 Sugai 3 PART 1: INTRODUCTION I. Issue and Historical Background Several decades ago, players entering the NBA directly from high school were few and far between. Moses Malone famously made the jump from high school in 1974, and more recently Shawn Kemp experienced early success after joining the NBA in 1989 without college basketball experience. In 1995, however, Kevin Garnett was selected fifth overall in the NBA draft and sparked the modern trend of bypassing college. Part of the reason behind his selection directly from high school was the new NBA collective bargaining agreement that forced rookies to sign under a slotted pay scale for three years rather than negotiate contracts. As Groothuis, Hill, and Perri (2007) suggest, teams could now pay players beneath their marginal revenue product for their first few years in the league and recoup any costs spent for on-the-job training and development.1 Sports journalists jumped on Kevin Garnett’s success story, and standout high school players began to follow his lead after witnessing his immediate impact in the league.
