That was a turning point. You know Melo got that bag to go to Syracuse. The NBA then, was against helping the the high school jump partnership with NCAA. Look at KD at Texas highlights. They both got paid.

His worst game in that tournament was against Oklahoma State, who had a guy named Tony Allen guarding him for a lot of it. He ended up being one of the best defensive wings in NBA history. Auburn had Marquis Daniels, who had a 10 year NBA career. Melo looked like a polished NBA all-star level player at 18 years old. As great as he was, that Syracuse team was fairly loaded. They had Warrick at PF, who was an all-american the next 2 years, and played 8 years in the league. Gerry McNamara is a legend at Syracuse, and not just because of 2003. They had a solid bench that year too.
