 The next hurdle I'll throw at you is high BBIQ, and size for position. Because the only ones I can think of that didn't make it is guys like Bobby Hurley who was a tiny guy without much athleticism.
 I liked Kyle Anderson coming out last year even though he's slow as dirt, but he's super smart out  there and has great size.
 Who has not made it with size and great basketball intelligence.

Wasn't Luke Babbitt supposed to be a 'high iq' player?

 I don't think so LA. The force was not with Luke.

Shabazz Napier, every Duke guard ever, Tyler Hansbrough, 90% of all white players that northeastern fan bases want their teams to take.

Hurley had a devastating injury...he might have ended up a lot better if not for that. Not sure that's a great example.

I think Sebastian Telfair had a good basketball IQ.

Probably some of the defensive specialist

Telfair spent a decade in the league. Regardless of stats, that's gotta be considered "making it" in the NBA.

Hansbrough is both in the NBA and a quality role player.

I would add that the jury is still out on Napier.

TP for the laugh.  I was just trying to remember what was said about him at the draft.
