Q-pon - was not developed here, he was quickly shipped out. Odd to put him on this list. Did you mean the list of players who had greater success AWAY from Monty? Then this would make sense.
Jason Smith - Developed in to what? from a very bad basketball player to a bad one?
AD - This will go down as Monty's claim to fame, personally, I think AD would have been this good no matter what. Is anyone asking which coach is responsible for developing LeBron? When you are better than everyone else, that is not coaching, that is talent and desire. When you IMPROVE - that is coaching. Yes AD is improving, but he is going from a child to a man, I think he would be this good no matter where he was playing. Honestly, playing for Coach K and with all the other Olympians is probably more impactful IMO.
Lance Thomas -- wut? Was never developed, is he still in the league? Wasn't he on a 10 day contract?
Marco - Again,,, see q-pon. Belinelli EXCELLED AFTER HE LEFT MONTY'S DARK CLOUD.
So to recap.... your list of players that Monty "Developed"....... well Ill just politely say I couldn't disagree more.
