If doesn't pick Duke, Kansas should be his choice because Self's staff does have a recent track record of putting bigs in the NBA, whereas OSU under Matta only has 1 guy in Sullinger. And out of the 3 schools, Duke has the biggest need for a good big like Parker.
Matta's record getting big kids drafted is close to Bill Self's. They've had less success in the NBA, but they've been first round picks.
Greg Oden was the #1 pick in 2007
Kosta Koufos was a first round pick in 2008
BJ Mullens was a first round pick in 2009

You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner
You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke
