Only 400 spots in the NBA, you can't honestly believe only 400 people are TRULY qualified for the job.
Exactly, there simply isnt enough room for everybody.

Someone is always waiting to take 1 of these dudes spot, theres a lot of talent out there.

Funny you mention him...i was w/ him earlier today and he's a good dude. i think he'll get back in the league this year. he played well last night in his 1st d-league game.

No he couldn't have.  He didn't qualify academically and Bennett was pushing him out anyways.

Just about any of the top 15 prospects in the D-League are NBA worthy. The point I am trying to make is the NBA is like a country club. People that get drafted in the first round get preference. Even if they aren't really deserving of a spot, all it takes is for one person with power to like you.

You can honestly say it is Keith Langford's fault that he isn't in the NBA? No. The same way EVERYONE can't be successful in the real world, EVERYONE can't be successful in making the NBA. You all underestimate the power of luck. You really do. Because I just find it hard to believe that you all really think that anyone that is not in the NBA is at fault. It doesn't mean that they HAVE to have ego problems, or problems with attitude. It just means that someone else got a shot and they didn't.

Dude can barely shine in Japan right now. He's getting outplayed by Robert Swift. Maturity issues, but he's definitely got talent.
