Hardly bad numbers for a freshman and then a sophomore but hardly earth moving considering the conference he was playing in and after reading all of his Olympic press, you'd think he would be much better. The Olympics tend to do this with guys a lot. The Lakers took a guy off the Chinese Olympic team that can't get off their developmental squad. Some years back, I remember Andrew Gaze would kill people in the Olympics but was just an average college player. Does anyone believe Oscar Schmidt could have come to the NBA scoring 35 a game?

And remember when everyone was expecting Carlos Arroyo to become the next top point guard after he led Puerto Rico to the blowout win over the US in the '04 Olympics?
