No, top 2 100% NBA draft, lottery almost all NBA draft, most in round 1

ok. I guess I'd have to look at contract details year by year of the round 2

Jabara went 19 & 9 at Duke. I think we would all be pretty stoked about that

Good point, especially on the rebounds. I just think long-term Demin may develop

Probably why such a good athlete wasn't a more mobile guy.

I think that's wishful thinking at best. And like I said, a wasted career. What athlete turns to $$$ earnings

Frank Jackson has 214 career games played in the NBA. That is, he was a key

Good thoughts. I'm a fan of the college game. I wish he'd made more of his mark there.

Is Frank still in the NBA or G-league?
