The 4th pick in last year's draft, Patrick Williams from FSU, didn't start a single game and his stats on the season were 9/4/1. He is now averaging more points per game for the Chicago Bulls than he did in his single year in college. Has started every game.

So he is now doing better against what should be more capable players than he did in college. It has only been a year so it isn't a long "development" process. Why do you think that happened? I personally believe that 1) his level of effort in college has to be questioned and 2) the NBA isn't really basketball. It is entertainment, and defense doesn't entertain. If he couldn't deliver much in college and is now a better than average pro (with not a long "G" league gestation) it has to mean that the NBA and college are such different games that there is little correlation (or he mailed it in at FSU).
