I'm sure Tony Harris, Earnest Shelton, Robert O'Kelley, Antonio Burks, Jeremy Hunt, Andre Allen, Shawne Williams, Randy Culpepper, Thadeous Young, Elliot Williams, Lester Hudson, Jarnell Stokes, Joe Jackson, Austin Nichols, and many others would strongly disagree with you about production.

There are some non tigers on there. Not sure who they are. But seriously, how many of those are in the NBA right now? 4? Take out Jarnell, it's really 3. young is a decent role player. Elliot Williams, well, not so much. I'm a Memphian through and through, but I'm also a realist as to the talent our city puts out. Unfortunately for all of us, the last 5 years of relying heavily on Memphis grown kids has led to mediocrity.

How can you claim that Memphis High Schools haven't turned out any productive players since Cedric's class if you don't even know who some of those guys are?! That is...incredible.

You didn't say anything about them being a Tiger, or being in the NBA, you specifically said Memphis High Schools hadn't produced productive players, or a class, or something, since Cedric's class. Duece Ford, Cedric, and Johnny Miller were the 3 highest rated guys in Cedric's class from Memphis schools, all Tigers, all top 30, but only 1 of those guys produced. You are saying there hasn't been a class of players from Memphis schools that have been more productive since Cedric, Duece, and Johnny Miller's? You mentioned KJ and Dedric, but they are not in the same class, so you must have just been talking players, which is why I listed a bunch of guys from Memphis schools that have produced plenty since Cedric's class.

Whatever it is you are trying to say isn't very clear, but whether you look at it by players or by classes, whether they were Tigers or not, NBA or not, your statement seems wildly inaccurate from any angle.

Ya missed the joke...It was subtle.

He didn't say that Memphis hadn't turned out productive players. He said Memphis High-schools haven't turned out a good producing class. That means multiple players in the same grade.

Yeah, you're right, my bad. I think my point still stands though.

Right, he then proceeded to state that he hopes KJ and Dedric buck that trend, but they are not in the same class, so his declaration was unclear/conflicted. I did address that in a previous post. However, Duece, Cedric, and Johnny Miller were all top 30, 2 of them were from Memphis schools, but only 1 of them produced. I believe Chris Garner was also in that class, so 2 players from that class were productive. My point is there have been classes since Cedric's that have produced 2 or more productive players from Memphis area schools. I don't see how that can be denied.

I guess my idea of productive is sweet 16 or better.

This aint a single player game...So yes a player can be productive even if his team is not productive by your standards.
