I completely disagree with this statement. Probably 99.5% of them were the STAR of their HS team, and most of them probably about 80% were BIG TIME players at their college. The adjustment is made by most of the players in the NBA. They go from the superstar in HS to the star in college to maybe a starter in the NBA. Other then 25-30 guys in the league most have had to come to terms that adjust but it's simply silly to say their role in the NBA is and will never be the same as it was in college. I couldn't disagree more Box. If those players don't adjust then they will be bounced around, but to say a 20 year old rookie who has played hard improved and gotten high remarks by coaches can't adjust is quit a bit premature and a little silly. AR has proven over a few years and a few teams that he hasn't been able to adjust. Not saying Tyler will adjust but it's very silly for anyone to say that he won't. He played the second half of the season on a terrible team with very few scorers and was asked to be the focal point on the low block. He showed decent moves a soft touch and major improvement. He was a second round pick for a reason but has shown signs that down the line he can be at least a contributor.
