I know its wrong..but I HATE reading and seeing all this good stuff about T Waters...since it seems like he really does NOT want to come here and is waiting on something "better." Of course if he comes here...I never wrote this.

One of the greatest guards to come out of NYC, Sebastian Telfaiir, never made it big. He had all the skills coming out of high school but never devoloped anything more. He needed some college experience to step up his game. The same thing will happen to Waters if he doesn't spend some developing years in college Sebastian played 10 years in the NBA. How did he not make it big?

He played a while, but Telfair never became a star. He was an average NBA player at best.

Sebastian Telfair made over 19 million dollars playing pro basketball. I think that is very successful. If you mean success relative to a Hall of Famer, then I guess I could see your point.
"Sebastian made it"

Are you arguing, seriously, that Telfair became who everyone thought he could and would be when he was a HS senior? CMON.
Telfair was supposed to be the next great PG, a perennial all-star and potential all-NBA player. Yeah, he made good money and was in the league for 10 years, but that's far from what he was supposed to be ("the next lebron"). He coulda been a contender

According to Telfair and the people around him that was true. I know NY was hyping him like crazy but nobody nationally thought he was the best guard in his class.. That would be Shawn Livingston..
If he wasn't Marbs cousin he wouldn't have gotten that hype. I think his career was fine and very predictable considering he's barely 6ft and not particularly a great athlete.. His RSCI was #6, and he was drafted #13

NYC loves to overhype guards, especially flash over substance types.

Love the NYC / NBA point guard convo, but let's focus gents. What can we (collectively) do to ensure that Tremont becomes a Hoya? Let's make it happen!!!

I have all the respect in the world for that man's basketball game Along with Al Jefferson and a couple of others, he helped bring Garnett and a title to Boston. Works for me.

Could be just me but I feel like we haven't offered as many '18/'19 PG's as we have for other positions. Hope this means that Ewing thinks we have a great chance at Tremont, or he feels like the roster we have now has a reliable PG for years to come.

Telfair played for 12 teams in 12 years...and 3 of those teams were in China. Not many NBA players are looking for that kind of career. That's what Waters might be seeing if he doesn'tspend time developing in college.

A ten year career for a 5 11 pg in the NBA would probably not be considered a bad thing who is not a top 5 or 10 HS player. Sadly not sure if Roy or Jeff will make it that long.

"Sebastian made it" To be fair you could probably make about 10-15 million with a long career over in Europe or China so the monetary factor as a measure of how successful he was in living up to his high school hype may not be an accurate gauge.

Jeff Green was drafted in 2007. Ten years ago. Roy Hibbert was drafted in 2008. Nine years ago. Last time I checked, they were both still in the NBA.

Did Waters say when he was announcing, and when is signing day?
