Re: How did your college career turnout?
I'm really not sure how the draft stock is determined. I didn't play amazing by any means, but I did do progressively better each game. Playing as a PG, my average teammate grade was B I think. Not because I didn't play well, but I tried not to force the offense and stuck to my own man on defense. I didn't get hit with many negatives at all.
We lost the first game, and the critics bashed me after every game, win or lose. After two games, my draft projection was late first round. I played a little better the next game, still got bashed by the critics, but my stock jumped back up to mid first round. Won the fourth game, again playing a little better, critics still talked bad about me, and I was still at mid first round.
For the championship game, I played the best game stats-wise, but it still wasn't anything crazy. My team was absolutely awful while I was on the court, so I had to score more than the previous games. I think I put up 16 or 18 overall, a few assists and a few rebounds. It came down to the wire, and I came up with three clutch plays in a row. Down by 1, I had a nice pull-up free throw line jumper to go up by 1. Next time down the court, my teammates fouled their big, who put in the and 1. Down by 2, I made another jumper to bring us back to even. I pulled off a steal the next time down the court to go up 2.
We got a stop on the next possession, and they fouled twice, but then tried to force a turnover by doubling me with ~15 seconds remaining. I passed away, and my moron teammate decided to shoot a three, even though the shot clock was either off or within 2 seconds of the game clock, and we were up 2. Needless to say, he missed, and they got the rebound. Luckily we got another stop and won the game, but I was about to flip when he took that shot.
The critics still bashed me after carrying my team to the championship, but my projection jumped up to lottery pick after that game.
