turns out that Selby and Henry weren't that good at basketball
i just had this huge post typed out defending self's guys in the nba. didn't post it because it was pretty whiney and gay. however, the sentence "we found out that selby and xavier henry just weren't good at the sport" was a big hitting point.
I guess Julian Wright/Brandon Rush were also guys who werent "good enough" ?
They were big time talents coming out of HS.

They were lottery picks.
I give credit to Self for disguising how terrible Julian Wright to get him drafted that high.
Also he has taken multiple big men that were rated in the 25-50 range and developed them into lottery picks. Where recruits rated in the same range that have signed with teams like Kentucky and UNC wont sniff the lottery.

julian wright definitely sucks. you are not going to find a single kansas fan (or anyone else on the planet) defend his basketball ability. many claim his departure as a catalyst to the national championship and were happy about it in 2007 when he left. we all love the guy, but it was clear.
brandon rush is fricking good. he and darrel arthur have both been incredibly unlucky injury wise. both good players.
mclemore was like the 50th recruit out of HS. turns out he was actually better than like all of the guys in front of him. im sure self and the staff helped him grow a lot, but in reality, he was just better than people thought out of high school and he was probably gonna be this good at any of the top programs.
the whole devloping nba players thing is pretty stupid IYAM. you develop guys who shouldnt be in the nba into nba draft picks and then get penalized for them not being nba players? you get obvious nba guys like john wall, cousins, noel, brad beal, etc... (and now wiggins) and people act like you are developing nba talent? retarded.
example: bill self helped get cole aldrich drafted in the goddamn nba lottery by "developing him." he had nothing to do with anything after that. bill self was so good at coaching that he made people think cole aldrich was a lottery pick. if you look at it like that, you evaluate this whole nba development thing differently.
