I can almost guarantee you the Spurs looked more at Keldon's high-school tape than his college tape. They said as much for Murray. The NCAA is a different animal than high school, and players are asked to do different things. Johnson, like Patrick Williams, was a role-player in college because of the bigger names on his team. That wasn't the case in high school, where he was a highly regarded recruit. If they are seriously looking at Williams, they'll be looking at his high-school tape as well. You want to see what players can do in a lot of different situations to get a feel for their ceiling. It's not just about what the do at one compe ion level. In that regard, I do agree with DAFfy. I'm sure I'm going to be qualifying that in further back-and-forths with him, so I'll leave that point where it is. But yeah, it's just about looking at the development of skills. , players can have bad seasons after they transition to the NCAA. These are kids we're talking about, some of whom are thousands of miles from home and surrounded by people they don't know. It's a completely different situation. And it's not like it's necessarily more pro-like, given the scheduling, campus life and the lack of financial compensation.
