I am pretty sure everyone improves when they get to the NBA

I'm not sure how one measures the improvement of Adam Morrison, LaRue Martin, Anthony Bennett, Jimmer Fredette, Darko Milicic, Josh Jackson, etc.

I'm sure they all got better. Just not better enough.

I wouldn't dispute that each got better because I don't know. I'm certainly not "sure" each did.

Adam Morrison was a GREAT college basketball player; what did he get better at in the NBA? I don't know. Maybe a bunch of things but it still wasn't enough. Or maybe he regressed. Athletes do regress sometimes.

Yeah, athletes regress, but unless they're female gymnasts or get injured, it doesn't really happen in their early 20s.
Adam Morrison didn't become worse at basketball. He tore his ACL and lost what little athleticism he had. His basketball skill wasn't enough to make up for his athletic deficiencies by that point.

I had forgotten about Morrison tearing his ACL. I always thought his decline had to do with that mustache.

Wrong. Athletes in the early 20's can regress for a variety of reasons.  You just conjured that out of thin air and are totally discounting the psychological and mental aspects of playing at the highest level.

Oso is in the green room. Tyler is off-site.

Seriously thought the Bucks were drafting Tyler. "tyler...smith" instead.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Never that good and had a bunch of injuries, including a severe concussion she blames for her ensuing career struggles.

2012 Crowder picked 34, 2024 Tyler picked 34.

I'm betting Oso 55th
He's the one
Who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
