Question by lopochien:
How come some college players succeed in the NBA while others fail?
I do not comprehend why players like J.J. Reddick and Adam Morrison were not as successful in the NBA as other rookie, like Deron Williams. Is it because they simply failed to adjust to the game or is it because of the teams they are on?
I mean, I already have a feeling Tyler Hansborough will not make the transition from college to NBA while players like O.J. Mayo, Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose will very likely succeed.
This appears to have happen in the past too, as many of the college record holders are complete unknowns in the NBA.

Not everyone can maintain the level of competition or handle the pressures of being in the NBA. Granted, each player drafted (Even Kwame Brown LOL) was a great high school/college star, but there is always someone better.
Health has a lot to do with it too.
