Just off the top of my head thats pretty good for just recent players. How many player from your college team are stars or even contributers to NBA teams?

Ray Allen, Rip Hamilton, Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Donyell Marshall, Caron Butler, Charlie Villanueva. The top 4 are stars, and the top 2 are elite players in the League. Yet, my school doesn't have 8 or 9 McDonald's All-Americans at any point in time.
Dunleavy was a #3 pick... you don't look for a contributor at #3... feel free to label him as a bust.
For every Grant Hill, there's been multiple Christian Laettners. For every Elton Brand there's been a Trajan Langdon.
I'm saying judge 'em in the pros when they don't have 7 more All-Americans on their team than anybody else. You say he's the greatest, I say without the talent on Duke, he doesn't get half the looks he gets.
