''Potential''
By Fish
Why have we lowered our standards for players being drafted into the NBA? Every year we hear of players with this so-called ''Potential''. It's wild how players who struggle to produce in College or in Over seas leagues are looked at as NBA prospects .We use age and experience as a crutch for us to believe that they can really play. The old saying in basketball has always been ''You can't teach height''. You may not be able to teach height,that still doesn't stop a player from producing on a court.Talent will always show over potential, from shooting a ball to rebounding. You don't need potential to do these, you either can or cannot! In the end when your favorite team is drafting a guy with a ''Potential'' label, chances are he will never produce anything for your squad!
