How many one and dones only started half their college games?

I'm sure Kentucky had a couple, Devin Booker comes to mind, but that was more because those teams were loaded. Lonnie probably did too, but he was also hurt to start the year so its not really comparable.

Two top ten picks came off the bench for UK this past year. One of them, Reed Sheppard, is going to be the best player in this draft IMO.

Josh Primo, Patrick Williams, Peyton Watson, Johnny Furphy, and Josh Minott to name a handful. Most start but end up putting ugly numbers: Zaire WIlliams, Caleb Houston, Nasir Little, Cam Reddish, etc.

NBA executives justify their decisions through two lenses: small sample size with one and done and hard to predict future human performance of a teenager.

They say best to choose someone young with a lot of room to grow rather than someone in their early 20s whose larger dataset can be picked apart & would’ve already left early if he was a future star.

A lot of groupthink amongst the draft / recruiting world that leads to explaining away whatever you want to as a GM. Being mock drafted high early a year ahead of the draft is has tremendous impact on where a prospect is taken.

Brad Kaaya, Leonard Taylor, Jonathan Garvin, and Joe Jackson would’ve been Day 1/2 picks if NFL executives thought like NBA executives.

Currently watching Wizards vs Raptors preseason game & Kyshawn George looks like a natural NBA player.

He appears to be one of those kids who's game will be way better at the NBA level than in College, because he'll have much more freedom & not be restrained within the confines of a College system.

He'll definitely be in Washington's rotation & get some good minutes this season.

Kid is a pure hooper.
 
George has 9pts, 5 assists, 4 rebounds & 3 steals right now.

3-3 from the 3pt line. Playing very well tonight.

But sidenote, Playing with Kyle Kuzma has got to be extremely frustrating. He takes so many bad shots & goes through these periods where he thinks he's Luka or some sh*t & just starts gunning it.
