For the oldtimers out there, how long has it been (if there ever was a time) that three high school talents from the Bay Area and in the same senior class were also projected to enjoy substantial careers in the NBA?
We are speaking of Jabari Bird, Aaron Gordon and Marcus Lee.
Granted a lot of hard work still needs to be applied and bodies will need maturing but each of these talents will likely, barring injury or something else unforseen, be heading to The Big Show prior to a full four years of college ball.
Each is also projected to be an impact talent in the NBA and not a reserve.
Recent draftees Damian Lillard, Jared Cunningham and Orlando Johnson will soon be plying their trade in the NBA which makes it a must for following their respective careers and impacts. There is already chatter of Lillard in the running for Rookie of the Year.
But the Bird - Gordon - Lee troika is widely heralded, having as CDickens once wrote, great expectations.
All this also brings up another issue: who, if anyone, is being overlooked at the moment and will bust out during their college days similarly to the Lillard's coming to the fore?
