He did have a good NBA career, definitely not a wash out by any stretch, but fair to say underwhelming considering how dominant he was at IU. still one of my favorite IU players though Oh hell yeah. Cal was a beast at IU. But his NBA career kind of mirrors Tisdale's. To be honest, I think Cal just got drafted by the wrong team. That is another topic.

Problem for Cheaney was that he could never make the leap from the college three point line to the NBA three point line. For some guys that extra couple feet makes all the difference and he never made the adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Laettner never really did much aside from the Dream Team. Chris Wilcox seemed much better in college than against NBA talent. Could Jared Jeffries qualify to be on this list? not neccesarily Dominant players but very good college players in their own right. Depends on what you mean by “never did much”. Marshall and Laettner were very good NBA players. Laettner never lived up to his college hype, but he was a 16-19ppg guy for several years and did make an All-Star game, and Marshall was a very coveted role player for a long time.

Getting into the right situation can be the difference - just look at Vic and how he's doing now with the Pacers, after a poor season next to ball dominant Westbrook and an up and down and overall lackluster time in Orlando, which was going through coaching and roster changes. The right fit is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what B was saying above, and I don't dispute it but I just feel Cal would have been better off somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGIUAndy Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Unfortunately IU has several: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indiana_Hoosiers_in_the_NBA_draft But let's not forget Bobby Hurley, Chris Washburn, Shelden Williams, Sean May, Bo Kimble, Mateen Cleaves, Keith Lee, Marcus Fizer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
