Personnel directors have so little tape to look at they, have to see the guys in person. You really can't fault them for that. These kids finally play against their peers and you apply more credence to doing it against a similar player. Sometimes with these college stars, it's boys vs. men. Also, there are a lot of Europeans that you can't trust the tape on.
Camps are very important, but it's the reality of the situation.
Also now, owner Mark Cuban is really running the show. The Mavs did a nice job in this draft. If they can capitalize on the success they had late in the season and move forward with it, these young guys can fit right in. If they are starting over, it's different. It's tough for guys like these who had success in college to come right in and perform for a team that loses 55 games.
