Patric Young is considered one of the top sophomore NBA Draft prospects in the country, but Ken Pomeroy uses the Florida big as an illustration of how having an NBA body doesn't translate into college success. Young is currently projected as the ninth overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft by DraftExpress.

"As a freshman he used just 11.3% of the Gators’ offensive possessions," writes Pomeroy. "This ranked 73rd among 75 SEC regulars last season. He managed to beat out Ole Miss’s Steadman Short and Mississippi State’s Riley Bennock. And despite the chiseled frame, Young managed to gather just 8.8% of available offensive rebounds. Among the 263 D-I players listed at 6-9 last season, this ranked 129th or roughly average for players with Young’s height.

"I was curious what kind of improvement has been recorded in either of those categories to get a feel for just what is possible with Young. Let’s look first at offensive rebounding. Since 2005, there have 629 players with an OR% within 0.5% of Young’s freshman figure that have played at least 40% of their team’s minutes the following season. Of those 629, 28 posted an OR% of at least 12 the next season. That’s a figure that would put you on the fringes of the top 100 nationally. The highest figure was the 14.6% put up by Lavoy Allen in 2009."
