I'm not the biggest college fan but I've almost never been wrong about a player I saw in college who I thought would be great.   The wrongest I ever was regarded Richard Jefferson who I though had Pippen like potential when I saw him in college.  That said, I rarely have much of an opinion and there is barely 1 player a year who I am sure about but I was convinced about Faried.  This year, I'm only sure about Davis and Robinson. This is all a lot to say that Prince was a player I was sure would be good and Kentucky is actually my college team, if I have one, going way back which reminds me that I certainly thought Mashburn would be a bit better than he was in the NBA.  When the Pistons drafted Prince, I probably cheered the most I had ever over any draft pick other than Grant Hill and if anything, Prince hasn't quite lived up to my expectations even though he is my second favorite player ever behind Lindsey Hunter   I'd round my top ten with 3.  Isiah, 4. Laimbeer, 5. Rodman, 6. Dumars, 7. Ben Wallace 8. Manu Ginobili, 9. Magic Johnson, 10.

So how much better did you expect.No real shot blocker in the middle. They drafted a guard instead of K Faried who would have greatly help[ the rebounding and Defense, exactly what they needed.
