do you really think Tanking for these inconsequential players was/is worth it? Didn't Camelo Anthony win the NCAA as a freshman before bailing? Was he worth a tank effort?

how much does Parker/Embiid/Wiggins' stock plummet after all those upsets?

Coming out of college, I liked Carmelo far better than either Wiggins or Parker.  I've been surprised by Carmelo's (relative) lack of team success in the NBA.

No change between now & before the tourney started.  The top is still the top.

GMs are looking at big picture here.  Not one or two poor tourney games.

19 year old kids with worlds of upside but still 19 years old. I think the LeBron/Anthony comparisons were unfair but I think both are going to be quite good.

Lol... It will be funny when all 3 of those guys decide to stay in school another year.  We will be lucky to get Doug McDermott with our #8 pick

I will not be surprised at this point, because none of these so-called game changers look anything close to the hype.

I think I'm one of the last guys in the Carmelo Anthony fan club. Still plenty of open seats.

He's become weirdly underrated but I agree, I was much higher on Melo his freshmen than anybody in this class.

I find the OP a bit annoying. Plenty of HOF players did not go far in the NCAA tournament as freshmen. What a pointless comment.

If you don't like the 2 guys, fine. But who do you like in the draft? Are you saying no great player will ever again enter the draft? Or are you just lashing out at people who are hoping for drafting a star and just making any comment that reliefs your annoyance?

The Carmelo comment is even more bizarre because he actually had success in the tourney. There is no clear point being made by the OP and the confused points contradict one another.

One thing for sure. It would be idiotic to say that better draft position does not increase you chances of getting a future hall-of-famer on your roster.

I think all 3 of those guys (Embiid,Parker & Wiggins) losing hurts us big-time!!! I willing to bet 1 of those guys decides to come back to school for nothing more than pride. Losing this way & wanting to prove doubters wrong will drive 1 to come back & improve the poor legacy they right now seem to be leaving behind... I feel bad for Wiggins though, Bill Self did a poor job of utilizing him all year. Not enough touches for a future supposedly superstar! But maybe he knows more than we do idk!

yes blame it on the coach or whatever but clearly the play on the court has not justified the hype. Definitely not tank-worthy in my opinion.

May be time for DA to package some of these draft picks for a known entity.

It would be stupid move by the three if they decide to return to school for next year. They are basically saying goodbye to guaranteed money.

Wow, Wiggins only scored 4 points and only took 6 shot attempts!?

It is embarrassing enough to be knocked out ... but to be knocked out while doing so little? Yuck.
