Remember when all-time great prospects were coming out of college?

[Marchesk]

1956: Russell
1957: Sam Jones
1958: Baylor
1959: Wilt
1960: Oscar, West

That's 5 top 20 players all-time in five seasons. And Sam Jones is top 50.

Elvin Hayes, Wes Unseld, and Kareem.

Did you leave out Hal Greer (58) on purpose or what?

Or go back one year earlier and add Frazier and Monroe.

No, missed him.

1981: Isiah
1982: Dominique, Worthy
1983: Drexler
1984: Jordan, Hakeem, Barkley, Stockton
1985: Ewing, Malone

Arguably 1/5th of the 50 greatest players of all time

That was pretty good too.

[Jameerthefear]

only two of those players are even arguable as top 20. Stop ****ing trolling on this forum or you'll be reported.

You need to be reported...for stupidity.

Wilt, Russell, Oscar, and West...ALL in the all-time Top-20.

Now go back to watching your Power Rangers..

[kennethgriffin]

the reason its harder to tell whos going to be great is because of how different the college game is compared to the pro's

especially now more than ever
