I've never believed the hype for ANY duke player ever since

Oh man, forgot about those 2.
Obviously, Russell Westbrook wasn't around at the time, but that's the type of player I thought Charles O' Bannon would be.

Charles was never the talent of Ed, nor did he have the size of his brother either. Ed, tore his ACL early in his College career, and was just too slow in the NBA for the perimeter and too small for post play, especially back then....
I thought Charles had more all-around game at least in college and he was only a sophomore I believe during that run. Kid could get up. Who was the 6’5 freshman on that team? PG was a little dude.

They had like 5 or 6 NBA draft picks on that team, none had a decent career though. Edney probably the only one that played up to his potential in the NBA, but he was never going to be more than a bench player.

I hate the result, but agree with his line of thinking. NCAA already takes advantage of the athletes while in school, they came back around and tried to profit off his name after he was no longer a part of the NCAA. Whether you support the NCAA or not, that was extreme overreach.
