Pistokache - Why doesn't he get some time... seriously...

Many of the bench players at these schools were HS All-Americans, and 4 and 5 star recruits.

Yes, and they also get national hampionship rings. Plus, some of those guys don't need to play hardly at all and they still manage to get drafted. However, Duke has also had a lot of players transfer out of their program over the years due to lack of playing time.

Guess some kids would rather say I'm a Blue Devil or Tarheel than actually play.

But the real question is would you rather say I played 20 minutes at Duke or I scored 2,000 points at Wilmington?

Duke!

Wilmington probably would beat Duke if they played in the tournament this year.

I would prefer to play at the place that got me the closest into the NBA...

With Europe and developmental leagues, if you are good enough you will get to the NBA.

To me that depends on how close that is. If 1 in 5000 vs 1 in 10000? Or 1 in 5 vs 1 in 50?

I love absolutist statements like this, they're "always" right.

If you can honestly name one I will amend the statement. Otherwise .......

Any player good enough to earn scholarship at this level IS NOT happy sitting on the bench, or with a role as only a practice player.

I mean, do you not see the absolutism in the statement Tbone originally quoted?
