After maybe 4 years of playing at the highest level you can clearly have an idea of how good a player is, but trying to forecast someone's NBA career with the lowest floor imaginable because of a less than stellar March Madness performance is just dumb. Can you sell too high on a player? Absolutely. The difference is projecting a kid to be terrible when you don't know how hard they work, what new training they'll receive, and if they'll land on a team that will put them in a role that caters more to their strength is just foolish. Also in the era of one and done players most of them are only 19 years old on draft day. Imagine thinking someone won't get any better at their craft than they were at 19 while training at a more competitive level. I've seen people talk about rookies like they're the worst basketball players ever and I wonder do these people realize that the NBA is the highest level of basketball on Earth? Then there's the people that only look at points scored and assume all basketball players are supposed to put up 20+ a game from day 1 which just isn't reality and the guys that were able to pull that off are more than likely in the hall of fame. With all that being said….give the young players time to develop before you make a statement that could place you on the wrong side of history.
ANTHONY DAVIS WILL BE A NBA BUST MARK MY WORDS!

Prediction- DeMarcus Cousins is going to be another highly talented bust. Maturity comes with age but you can't gain intelligence with age.
