Because I think votes are based on points scored, ignoring all other aspects of the game.<BR/><BR/>Check out the link in the third comment to this thread - J.J. Reddick's college statistics predicted that he would be a poor pro player - worse than Adam Morrison, even. Presumably this is on account of Reddick's inability to contribute much aside from a jumpshot.<BR/><BR/>It's college stats that predict pro success. Thanks for pointing out that Player of the Year is an unreliable predictor.Charlotte Bobcats Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440953726189165424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119193995174324956.post-28367815051295149722007-09-07T20:45:00.000-04:002007-09-07T20:45:00.000-04:00JJ Reddick was the ACC player of the year in '05 a...JJ Reddick was the ACC player of the year in '05 and '06, and it hasn't exactly translated in NBA success--a mediocre 6 points per game (in ~15 minutes of work). Besides that, he shot poorly from the field (41%) despite being decent from the arc (39%).<BR/><BR/>'04 ACC POY was Julius Hodge, a guy who doesn't have a job in the NBA anymore.<BR/><BR/>That said, I agree Dudley will be an okay NBA player, but I don't consider being the ACC POY (or any conference's POY) convincing support for this prediction.Bennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17558262901915323155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119193995174324956.post-59940644645910796032007-09-06T08:47:00.000-04:002007-09-06T08:47:00.000-04:00Brett - You are spot on regarding Morrison.

Here is a link to the full chart:<BR/><BR/>http://www.wagesofwins.com/Draft2006.html<BR/><BR/>His shortcomings (rebounds, turnovers, assists, blocks, steals, shooting efficiency) showed up in college too, although his FG% was markedly higher at Gonzaga than in the NBA.<BR/><BR/>One interesting note about the chart above - it predicted the success of Millsap, Balkman, Rondo, and Craig Smith, all stand-out rookies taken after the 13th pick.Charlotte Bobcats Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18440953726189165424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119193995174324956.post-90244426133312481422007-09-05T13:48:00.000-04:002007-09-05T13:48:00.000-04:00What does looking at prospects in this way say abo...What does looking at prospects in this way say about Morrison? He was quite the prolific scorer in college, but he was a sub-par rebounder and not much of a creator for his teammates. Does Berri have a similar chart for the 2006 draft (or earlier) that let's us look back at last season and see how effective this view can be?<BR/>I was pleased with the Dudley pick, acknowledging that he does not have the potential to be an all-star, but should be a solid contributor. And that's what the Bobcats need: More good players, to build their depth to withstand injuries over the course of the season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119193995174324956.post-16918813405370919272007-09-05T13:47:00.000-04:002007-09-05T13:47:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819450324952824356noreply@blogger.com
