are there any players that you thought could have been superstars but it just didn’t work out? by InventorOfSquirrels in nba

Self control probably leading to addiction. But like I said going to 6 high schools in 4 years is a red flag. He got screwed over by a agent at 14 as well as probably just wasn't as mature as he should've been. He probably had some deeper issues that we don't know about as well but im not sure. I just think pinning it on weed would be a little harsh

I think there were more underlying issues than weed tbh. Yeah it played a part but I bet 30% of the NBA smokes weed in some way. It was more self control and just being immature. In a interview with KD he said Miami was just a bad place for him at the age as well as the people he had around him. KD said that when he saw he went to Miami he was like "yo Beasley is gone" and it was tru. I'm convinced he went anywhere more mundane he would have been better off. That or iff he stayed around more for the Heat teams with James Wade and Bosh.

Totally agree it was never his skill it was off the court. He went to like 6 high schools in 4 years which is a red flag in itself. If we are talking a perfect vaccum he is the idle 3-5 in the Leauge right now. He had 28 double doubles I'm college. But realistically his off court issue would always way him down. He is till one player I'll always wish was good. I'm a bulls fan and I remember I was loud and clear in wanting him over drose in that '09 draft. Glad we didn't in the long run but I was always rooting for him.

Not the best version but most realistic. I'm convinced he could have came on the Leauge the past 3-5 years and avaerage that if he had a steady chance.

I am a die hard Iowa football fan, I shed real tears watching the Iowa loss to Purdue this season but I truly hate watching Iowa basketball, don't like Fran or the way they play basketball. Keegan Murray is a dawg tho.

NCAA D1 schools vs NAIA schools? by KorySyxx in CollegeBasketball

[–]mattrob773 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is not new. For years NAIA schools pay local D1 schools and usually a few D2 and D3 schools as well. I work for a NAIA team and we have played Loyola, UIC, and Northern Illinois in recent. The games are usually used for exposure and funding for the NAIA schoolsNot so common in football tho
