[QUOTE="5-Technique, post: 130365193, member: 1535303"] No need to bust my balls old man. If you looked at the picks who did get guaranteed money, they are likely more established college players/household names such as Frank Mason and come from programs that put a ton of people in the league such as Kentucky and Kansas so there's a track record there with the coach and the program. So rather than nitpick one sentence, how about some legitimate discussion about today's NBA game and how it relates to dribbling, shot range, maturity, height, offensive potential, etc. and where you realistically think Konate would fit on an NBA roster at present, if at all? Caridi and Howe have stated on MetroNews Sportsline that the NBA personnel people they have spoken with have described Konate as intriguing but a late, fringe 2nd round pick. If they are right (they may not be), that doesn't sound like the kind of player that gets guaranteed money. They may not be right and I may not be right but I trust Caridi and Howe to not make up such statements. So to reiterate, I had heard that second round picks don't get guaranteed money but my sources and I are by no means experts. The problem is, neither are you. [/QUOTE]
