No, the reason I bring past Duke players and what they've done in the NBA into this is to prove my very point that "they're a product of the system. They're nothing (bad word to use, though) without the system." At some point you have to look at all the guys that were phenomenal at Duke, that amounted to very little outside of the system and assume that they weren't as talented as they were made out to be because that's more likely to be the case than that they just forgot how to play. I see J.J. Reddick as being no different.
