Where have you gone Loren Woods?

Arizona and Wake Forest fans all over United States are wondering one thing: ""Where has Loreen Woods gone?"" Ok well maybe that is not true. But the answer to the question is Zalgiris Kaunas of the Euroleague. Yes the Euroleague.

The Euroleague is one of the professional basketball competitions in Europe with teams from thirteen different European countries. Kinda like the Champions League of Basketball.

Woods is part of a small community in the Euroleague, players that were ok in college making big money playing in the Euroleague. One look at the rosters of the teams and it reads like a who's who's of over rated college players.

Here are just a couple of these things:

• Former Villanova guard Mike Nardi, who is Joe Wolf's Vertical Jumps's wife least favorite player of all time, is now playing for Air Avellino in Italy.
  
• Former Duke uber-recruit Joey Beard, who ended up transfering to Boston Uninversity, is now playing at AJ Olimipia Milano in Italy.
  
• Former Stanford guard Casey Jacobsen, who was a first round pick in the NBA draft, is now playing at ALBA Berlin in Germany.
  
• Former Duke guard Trajan Langdon, one of my least favorite players of all time, is now playing for CSKA Moscow.
  
• Former St. John's point guard Omar Cook, a poster child for not leaving early for the NBA, is now using his skills at Unicaja Malaga in Spain.
  

These are just a few of the American players that have made their impact on the European game, at first I thought most these guys were no longer player. If anyone is interested in seeing Casey Jacobsen on TV the NBA Network shows some Euroleague games on Saturday.

More awards than points

Mr. Basketball of Michigan, Naismith Prep Player of the Year, Oscar Robertson Trophy, Naismith College Player of the Year, John R. Wooden Award, NCAA Basketball Tournament Most Outstanding Player, and ACC Athlete of the Year those are all of the awards that Shane Battier has collected during his time. With awards like that he should be a superstar, but instead he is averaging under 10 points a game. That is the reason that Battier has been selected as the next former Duke player in Only Time Will Tell's ongoing series on Duke Players that Stink in the NBA. At least he is a good person.

So he likes to sleep

Chris Duhon, a former McDonald High School All American, has really been showing off those skills this year by averaging 6 points per game for the Chicago Bulls. For that reason he has been selected as this weeks Only Time Will Tell Duke Player that Stinks in the NBA.

Over the last couple of years Duhon has had his run ins with Bulls management. In Jan. 2007, Duhon was suspended one game by the Bulls for missing practice the day prior because he claimed he overslept. Then he over slept during for a film session and missed a game in the Bulls playoff series against the Pistons. Maybe Duhon just gets tired quickly.

From Alaska to Moscow with Love

Before JJ Ridick, became the face of Duke Basketball, another person that the Dookie Nation loved was Trajan Langdon. After a three year tour in the NBA with the Cavs and Clippers he moved overseas to play with the several different teams. Langdon came to Duke from Alaska.

During Langdon time in the league he played in 119 games averaging 5.4 points a game in 14.6 minutes, at least his numbers are better Josh McRoberts. That is one of the reasons that he was selected as the next in Only Time Will Tell's series on Duke Players that Suck in the NBA.

For the last three years, Langdon has been playing overseas for such teams as Bennetton Treviso, Efes Pilsen, and Dynamo Moscow. Langdon was also drafted by the Padres in the 6th round of the 1996 Baseball Draft. It would have been an easier trip for Langdon to head right from Alaska to Moscow and skip heading to Duke all together.

The Landlord Should Move to the D-League

Known as the Landlord while at Duke, Sheldon Williams has shown that he should be evicted from the League, look at those stats 2.7 points and 3 rebounds a game.

Wow glad the Hawks spent the fifth overall pick on him. For all of those reasons that is why the Landlord is our next selection in our on going Duke Players that Suck in the League series.

Thank God He Chose Duke

The Only Time Will Tell Crew has selected Shavlik Randolph as our next Duke player that sucked at the next level. Randolph could go any where he wanted for college and in the end he chose Duke over North Carolina and North Carolina State. Thank God.

If not for the fact that NBA teams can not release injured players, Randolph would be out of the league. Check out those stats, .5 rebounds per game, yes that is it. Randolph has lacked that scoring touch averaging zero points a game.

Another Bad Duke Player in the NBA

Just like Josh McRoberts, Dahntay Jones has shown he really does not belong in the league. Check back as the Only Time Will Tell Crew continues to highlight how bad Duke players have been in the league.

Duke Players Stink in the NBA

Over the course of the next couple of weeks the Only Time Will Tell crew will review the impact that Duke players have had on the NBA. Our first candidate is Duke's Great White Hope Josh McRoberts. He has been such a hit that he is currently in the D-League.

Check back over the next couple of weeks for other players from Duke that Stink in the NBA.
