1. Hardly any BYU players make the NBA. Even our all time greats might sniff the floor, but its been a hwhile since any impact in the NBA was made by a byu player.

that being said

2. We can hope, but we should not expect that our players get drafted in the NBA unless they are 7'6", shoot like Jimmer, or have the last name of Ainge and not the first name Austin but maybe the first name Raphael. And a big portion of those guys will be considered busts by some.

so,

3. Dont fault some of us if we get a little skeptical when byu fans come along saying that an injured guy that has only averaged 4 points per game has "NBA potential." Potential gets skewed on message boards. Because some people start to misconstrue potential as something that is likely to happen. And its just not likely in this scenario although yes the potential is theoretically there. Don't all these guys have sooome potential? So we get sick of hearing about potential and just want to see results and have excitement when its actually warranted. Some of you guys are not exactly nostradamous in prognostication. So pardon us if we mock those who overhype things.

and finally

4.We are not mocking the player, we are mocking the people hyping the player. We've been built up to be let down too many times. There are none of us who wish harm on Baxter. We all want to see him do well. But yeah it bothers us to see him not live up to the hype. The hype was not his fault. And his injury buys him a wealth of understanding from all of us.
