Big hurdle from college sports to any pro team especially basketball. That's why the work ethic on the academics side and the degree is so important. Fortunately both coaches emphasize that.

Work ethic is something Scotty lacked. He never really made the jump he needed too from highschool to meet his maximum potential IMO. He never thought he had to play defense and was really lazy. I wish he would have had half of Tobias and Stokes work ethic. He would be making some nice money if he did.

I feel bad for Scotty. He had a great career here. He gets a bad rap because most feel there was a lot left to be desired from him.

He was a stud for our program, but he never lived up to the expectations of his 5 star ranking (basically he never dominated like we would have preferred). There are plenty of NBA players from his class and that is what he is typically compared to. Hope he puts it all together to prove himself in the League.

His class was stacked. Jrue Holiday, DeRozan, Tyreke Evans, Greg Monroe, Klay Thompson, Brandon Jennings, Aminu, Kemba, Ed Davis, Iman Shumpert, Isaiah Thomas, Reggie Jackson, Morris twins, Miles Plumlee, Draymond Green, etc.

Absolutely. It's crazy because at the time he was one of those guys that people felt was either one-and-done or two-and-through quality. The hype and that particular class really tarnished what he did accomplish in his career. Well, that and the fact he was one of the more frustrating players to watch at times with the percieved lack of effort.
