There's a kid on my school's team that transferred in from a D2, and he is probably the 5th or 6th best kid on the squad. D1 kids even transfer in and aren't that good.

Nobody has a list of those guys but it happens all the time.  Alot of where u play is who you know.  There was a kid that played at VCU then went D-3.  He was nothing to talk about but coming outta HS his dad had some connects.  The point is the don't get caught up labeling guys D-I, D-II, or D-III.  You gotta put the ball out and see who can play.  I've seen some D3 guys how shouldn't play on the college level....and then some D3 guys who could play D1 easy.  Too many players out here these days and everybody isn't gonna get seen and offered a D1 scholarship BUT that doesnt mean they can't play.

Thats not the question tho....and what does that have to do with anything? 

If you mean Top overseas as in Spain, Israel, Greece? Not many.  Look up a kid Ben Strong he could've played D-1 but he didn't and now he's overseas playing for Maccabi something.  Frisco I don't know what your point is.   Bringing the pro aspect is another ball game.  We were just speaking on college.

That Rico Cunningham dude looks like his dunking is more effortless. 

But Jacob Tucker has a wider variety of dunks.

Your point was that there is some D3 players out there that is equivalent to D1 players. How many D3 players do you know that is actually playing at a high level after college? How is that not relevant if you inferred that there d3 players who are just as good if not better than d1 players?

Edit: you shouldn't even be speaking since obvious your speaking with a bias point of view since you played d3 yourself.

Rico is smooth. Like dude said hes effortless, just an easy jumper. I hope he gets in over Jacob.
Jacob is a little forced, no ingame dunks, and is a liar (45 standing vert, 50 running

^you know what a 45 standing and 50 running is?
my man jacob doesn't have a 45 RUNNING, dude is lying, I don't like that. If he came out and said 5'11 with a 40-42 running I'd be like alright cool. Dunks are dope. Hes not near 40 off the spot.

Hes definetly nice man, but lieing for no reason. Hes nowhere near those numbers
