If it was really that important, than why was it that the only senior who made any kind of impact last year was Josh Howard?

I wasn't saying that college guys are always better then high school players... I'm just saying that in a whole players now a days take about 3 or 4 years before the make an impact... When I grew up watching the NBA, early 90's playes made imediate impact right out of the draft, for example, Webber, Hardaway, Larry Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal... ect... If you look at all the great players in the NBA right now, Garnette, Bryant, Jermaine O'Neal, Tracy McGrady ect. it took all of those guys a few years to make a real impact on the league, where as Shaq, Hardaway, Webber, Johnson were all all-stars out of the draft.
It just sucks because back in the day the draft made bad teams good because they got good talent right away, now it takes 3 years for a guy to develope, even into a marginal starter and by the time that happens they've already been traded to a team that is already a playoff team, it's just the rich getting richer, and it sucks.
