He got drafted on potential. Watson got drafted too. He averaged 12.7 minutes per game. I don't think "got drafted" is necessarily indicative of "coach did a great job with you."

If you're telling me Bona is the best example of Cronin's development of centers, I'm saying Mara was probably right to leave.

I will say, someone on UCLA's staff does a great job coaching post-up footwork. We've had guys whose footwork down low was unbelievable. But, weirdly, that hasn't come to fruition with our centers.
