He jabbed him good after the Oakland game as well. He said that Cal brags about his guys making 1 Billion in the NBA but couldn't he maybe make his guys 500 Million and win the school some titles as well??

The guys making millions of dollars in the NBA would still be making money with or without Cal having been in their lives. Lord knows he didn't develop anything in them the limited time they were here.

The idea that Cal "made" them NBA millionaires is preposterous.
I'd argue he cost several money by sending them before they were ready and then they got cut. Dejuan, Teague, and a few others needed more time to develop but ended up in the dleague or overseas. Self and K were putting guys in the league at the same rate as Cal. He wasn't turning guys into stars he was just renting stars for a bit.

Agree. Anthony Edwards went to Georgia, was picked number 1, and he's one of the best players in the league..

Coach K had the same number of 5*. Maybe more.

Both of those guys have several busts too bc they left after 1 year...Jabari Parker, xavier Henry, etc.

Your point is correct tho...look how much better the guys that stayed got...WCS, Terrence Jones. PJ Washington
