This ESPN analysis is really good on Little, but fails to point out how much improvement he showed over the season. I guarantee you the "shortcoming" part of the tape are 75% 1st half of the season, and the "strengths" are 2d half.On just about any other team his improvement would have been even better, but he was never going to start behind Johnson.Note the bottom line, "he's a lottery pick".....but he wasn't. At 25th a steal for the Blazers.Another guy who would have blossomed as an All ACC 1st team starter as a soph., but lands in Portland.
