Don't forget the post-Mourning and pre-Iverson duo of Irvin Church and Kevin Millen. The latter went on to almost become a US Congressmen.

Sad question to ask, is Georgetown the laughing stock of the NBA? Looking at our current players in the NBA it seems like it. Roy Hibbert get's maligned day in and day out for his struggles, as does Jeff Green ever since he was trade from the Celtics. Otto Porter "won" Shaqtin a fool player of the year last year (although admittedly he's gaining respect after a solid year this year) and even Greg Monroe has been heavily criticized this past year on the bucks for his rim protection issues. Just something I noticed and want to see what everyone else thinks.

I will admit, I have noticed the overall negative treatment of our Hoyas in the NBA, as of late. Roy has gone from max player to an afterthought. Jeff is acknowledged as a real talent, but one who never seems to play with full intensity or reach his potential. Greg, a Max player last year is supposedly on the trade block after a year in Milwaukee, and Otto had that regrettable defensive lapse. On the PLUS side...I have not heard a thing in the media connecting the dots to Georgetown! So, I think its just US, being overly sensitive to the recent struggles of our college team, and our alumna in the NBA. Honestly, Greg is a stud in the league..only problem is the league seems to be going away from low post offensive play and just asking centers to be mobile and shot blockers. That is not Greg's game. And I still have high hopes Otto becomes a very solid NBA starter. Green is already a solid NBA starter...its just that everyone expected him to be an ALL Star.

I love them all, but they have been inconsistent. Roy has regressed, Jeff Green does not have the consistent drive we saw in college, Monroe just is limited defensively (pretty excellent offensively 2 ft from hoop but agree its not what the league wants now), Otto is showing up in spurts just needs to put it together (I actually think he will be pretty solid, he needs to find his niche on that team a bit).
Don't look now, but if Hollywood Hollis makes even slightly less 3pters next season than last (and I'm betting he makes more with Simmons having to pass the ball), he ends up 4th all time in 76ers history for 3pters made, behind only AI, Korver, and Andre Igoudala.(he made 149 last season, and needs 145 makes this season).
Not bad!

Not bad! I always knew Hollis would be our best pro player...I just never mentioned it.

Good to hear, especially about Bowen. That athleticism of his is unreal.

Amazing that Bowen is close to the NBA- GREAT, GREAT, GREAT for him. So happy to hear that.

That nugget about Hollis making the most appearances for the Sixers the last few years is amazing. Shows you how solid he is, but also how much of a sh*t show the Sixers are.

espn.go.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/16583980/2016-nba-free-agency-most-overrated-free-agentsInsider article lists Jeff as one of the Most Overrated FAs - Some key quotes... From an NBA front office exec: "One guy that's always on the trading block is Green. Whoever just got him realizes how bad he really is and immediately tries to deal him." "Green is a master of seeming more impactful than he really is." "Green actually ranked in the bottom 10 out of more than 1,000 NBA players in our long-term adjusted plus-minus analyses"

He's literally their veteran player.
Only member left on 76ers from 2013 squad (the one with Hank Sims).
The two older players on team are Elton Brand (only 17 game appearances last season) and Carl Landry (only 37 game appearances).
Again, he's their veteran and leads in games played, and played almost every game last season...and how many teams would he be on the roster of otherwise?
That being said, his shooting has been consistent (well, catch and shoot) and if he shows the same this year could be an attractive low level 3 and (ok) D guy on another team. And 76ers may not be the worst pace for him, they do need shooting and maybe Covington is a better trade chip.

Per Jeff Green - yes he's maddeningly inconsistent. But a team like the clippers traded for him because Doc felt he would be a good fit against warriors given his versatility. Unfortunately CP3 was injured and they didn't advance, so we will never know. But just like Otto turned it on against Toronto the year before, Jeff Green could have had a good showing. And a good showing for him and a bad showing by Barnes this finals (5-32 for his shots in game 5,6,7) means that we might have ended up where Green and Barnes salary would have been a lot closer, despite age. (Although his age and production overall certainly means Barnes will command a much larger premium, but the gap may have closed).
