And Boston now is the same as Boston 4 years ago? Some players that get drafted and don't end up playing right away sulk. That's just the truth.

And out of those players only 1 is a starter. And 3 are fringe NBA players. James Young obviously did not view himself as a potential fringe NBA player.

Lol so it's only the 5 Stars? I just did a quick search, Michigan has 7 players in the NBA. That have combined to start 33 games in the league this year.

Subtract Jamal Crawford who was not a Beilein player.

So that makes 6. 3 were 4 Stars. The other 3 were 3 stars (One is a horrible bust Trey Burke). None are 5 Stars.

Kentucky has 26 players in the NBA. 3 out of those 26 were 4 Star recruits.

So again... if you were a 5 STAR Recruit. Which school do you go to if your ultimate goal is to get to the NBA and be successful?

Whatever Michigan is doing right, the NBA doesn't give a fuck about. There's no parallel. There's no either or choice. If you're a 3 star recruit that wants to make the NBA, go to Michigan. Enjoy your 4 years. Maybe you'll make a Sweet Sixteen or something.

But it's pretty clear and obvious why James Young chose Kentucky over Michigan.
