Farmar and Afflalo want to go pro?

An overacheiving bunch they were, however the two UCLA guards are suffering from the same type of myopia that has stricken the likes of other notable busts and never weres in the the Association that thought they could ball on the next level. When matched up against a much more athletic Florida team, Afflalo was completely taken out of his game by double teams and switches that left the swing man with little room to manuever and even less to shoot. He may have played a big part in the wins against Alabama, Gonzaga, and LSU, but Afflalo showed that he has a difficult time creating his own shot and an even more difficult time keeping up with faster opponents.

Farmar on the other hand is a total enigma. When he isn't macking on fat chicks at Westwood parties, he finds time to completely take himself out of games. Up until the LSU game, he was averaging close to 5 points per game in the tourney and sans the great pass he made Luc Richard for the game winning lay up in the Gonzaga game, was really a non factor for much of the tournament. Then he suddenly hits paydirt, with a "great" individual performance in the final despite UCLA being run out of the gym.

The thing that most people won't cop to though, is that the performance in the final was an orchastrated event. Billy Donovan has even admitted as much in interviews. Florida's plan was to shut down the other four guys on the floor, and make Jordan Farmar the main UCLA scorerer because, and this may come as a shock to people, he isn't that good and isn't the type of guy that can completely dominate and take over a game.

When it's all said and done, these two will probably get some play in the league and make a decent run as bottom of the bench type of guys. They have the basketball pedigree that at the very least, gives them some play. However, both of their careers look more like Toby Bailey then Reggie Miller, and they will be hardpressed to make any type of legacy in the league. Another year at UCLA however, with a healthy Josh Shipp, makes them serious contenders for another final four run and a preseason type five "sexy" pick.
