So I was wondering, how does a kid like Tyler - or any NBA rookie for that matter - make the jump from freshman at College X to the league and start playing at a level that has him in "Rookie of the Year" conversations? He did pretty well at UK but not a generational phenom by any means. That being the case; how do schools have that kind of talent struggle/fail at times against less-talented teams in college?
This isn't a situation unique to UK; I think back to seeing the score of the UL/Duke game with about 5 minutes left in that game last season. The 3 Duke players were getting served by the Cards most of the game. I was surprised when I heard that somehow Duke pulled it out at the end. I'm sure we can all think of similar situations. Now, reread first paragraph for circular logic.
