I would guess that the vast majority of guys who are as clueless as Fab at age 22 are never going to "get it".I should add the caveat that you don't draft such a player 1) in the first round, and 2) unless you can stash him overseas while he develops.

Not sure how much those 2 years mean to Roy's point though. But I would think those are two key years in a young player development. Also, I think Jordan was more of an impact player in college than Melo was.

I think having to stash the player overseas is less of an issue since they increased the roster sizes to 15.

Stashing a player overseas allows them to develop on somebody else's dime, without eating up contract years.
