Do you think UNC's 2005 class was a bust?

Re: Do you think UNC's 2005 class was a bust?

It's not May's fault he's injured thats nothing no man can get past.He was being productive up until he was injured.

The other 3 I could see being 8-12 year players and maybe even make a few all star appereances

Um, his knees are aching for a reason. Usually because you have too much upper body weight and May isn't exactly Mr. Universe when it comes to body composition. I'd have to say it's more his fault that gravity's imo.......

May is looking like a "bust" because of his injuries. He's produced when he's been on the court, however. Felton is a very solid point (14.5, 7, 3, 1.2stl). McCants is 2nd on the Wolves in scoring despite being 7th in minutes. & Marvin's play is the reason why the Hawks dealt Sheldon. Keep in mind he's the 3rd option on his team & came into the NBA never having been the man. They are in no shape or form busts.

You must not have seen many Bobcats games... When healthy, Sean was very effective with the 18 foot jimmy. He was routinely putting up 16-18 ppg with 8-9 rebounds, and that was in limited minutes. Sadly, I don't think he's gonna get past these injuries... Marvin, I think people were just looking at potential. No way he was gonna come into the league and start putting in work. He's just now starting to scratch the surface of what he can become.

Coming into the league?

If i remember well, he was mostly a post player who was short for the 4 spot and couldn't move to the 3 due to lack of athleticism and ballhandling.

I dunno about now, I admit I only watch the Bobcats when they are playing Toronto, but I watched A LOT of his games during his collegiate career.

Bust? NO!!!

Felton - Stud PG who is the heart and soul of the Bobcats. He's a great defender and is a play maker.

McCants - He is finally coming around...why do you think they got rid of Gerald Green?

Marvin Williams - He's what...22? He's a candidate to be an all-star down the road. He has his moments.

May - We have to see how he comes back from his surgery. I think he can be effective in the post...on offense only.


Florida's class is much more likely to be labeled a "bust".

Do you count Taurean Green in there? He did leave early.

Horford is a beast though. Noah and Brewer play on half the court. Is Green in the league anymore?

Yes he plays for Denver

I just don't see how you can call this class a bust. I mean you don't have any all NBA players out of the four, but Felton and Williams are turning into pretty darn good players. McCants is coming around pretty nicely though its coming in relative obscurity in Minnesota. May just hasn't been healthy enough to really see what he can do at the NBA level but he looks to be the weak link out of the four so far.

Good points on the UNC players. It's still too early to consider May or Williams busts... May due to injury, and Williams due to inexperience. Felton and McCants are solidifying their role in the league and have turned out to be good picks based on where they were selected in the draft. As a Magic fan, I certainly wouldn't have minded having one of those guys over our current Euroleague Superstar Lottery Pick Fran Vazquez.


As far as Florida goes... Horford is probably going to win ROY, or at least deserves too. Noah and Brewer aren't physically developed enough yet, but have shown flashes of being very solid players down the road (Brewer had 17 rebounds in a game earlier this season.) Chris Richard is even getting burn on the TWolves, putting in some efficient minutes for that team. Taurean Green has been bouncing from NBA bench to D-League, but just got traded to the Nuggets and dresses out almost every night. Keep in mind Richard and Green were second rounders and almost nothing was expected out of them on the professional level.
