[quote author=StanFan88 link=topic=10153.msg91694#msg91694 date=1403877324]Some are trying to give Dawkins credit for his development, but having watched most of that growth up close I think the credit goes to Maddog.  The vast majority of Huestis' (and Powell's) development happened during their junior years when Maddog was on the staff and was working with those two day in and day out.

I was wondering when we'd start into the "in spite of" vs "because of" argument with respect to Dawkins and his players being drafted.  Personally, I don't know.  But if Dawkins is going to be our coach for a while, having 2 players drafted is unequivocally good for the program.  The more recruits see Stanford as a possible launching pad for NBA careers, the more likely we are to get top recruits.

If a guard gets drafted I will give Dawkins credit, but Huestis and Powell blossomed during their junior years when Maddog was on the staff.  I give him the credit.
