I find it very interesting that Norris Cole scored so well for you. My unadjusted score for him was remarkably high but after entering the competition level factor he came down a bit. He still scored as the 7th best PG on my system.
Living close to Cleveland I have had the chance to watch him in person several times over the last 4 years. He certainly could be a steal later in the draft.

Thanks for the kind words, and I'm hoping he sports a high top fade (like he did last season) if he makes it to the association - reminds me of my youth. I have faith he'll stick.

Very fast paced college team against somewhat weaker competition - which comes into play even more for a big post guy in terms of padding stats (blocks, rebounds, TS%, and keeping fouls in check). He's also a senior (had 4 years to adjust to his competition) and didn't improve that much from a sophomore (reached his ceiling a bit?).

That being said, being ranked 87th nationally (with 345 D1 teams) while playing for a small/mid major school is nothing to scoff at - it just doesn't scream NBA.

He's long and obviously pretty talented - he could prove me wrong.

Hahah, yes I hope he does too!
