[QUOTE="MichiganHerd, post: 131646757, member: 1536401"] NBA is now all about shooters. European basketball changed the American game. Traditional post players are going extinct in the American game. It all started with Dirk, and now it's ran full circle into both the college and professional game. High school as well. Big men are expected to knock down the three point shot. All told, that's kind of the issue you're seeing with the B1G style of play when it comes to competing against other conferences. B1G is maintaining the old school post player. Majority of teams in the B1G have that. That's the style they're used to defending. When they step out of conference, they're playing against a more athletic style of play. WVU sort of had the same issue with Culver, and double the issue when they played with two big post players. The game has evolved to a European model, so McNeil has a shot to make an NBA squad. Duncan Robinson has done well with the Heat. 6th man at Michigan as a shooting specialist, and now a top 3 point shooter in the NBA. [/QUOTE]
