hey folks, I needed to add my two cents to this fallacy that D1 ballers are superhuman.  as a former player at Williams, in the previous century, I must dispel the view that guys from nescac couldn't make the leap to D1 on a numbers level...  sure, going to Michigan may be an anomaly, but not everybody in D1 is parker or wiggins.  not to date myself (but I am obviously), I would suggest you youngsters google matt hancock, of Colby fame.  he was at the Celtics training camp (when Bird, McHale, and Parrish were there), and made a good showing, I heard.  he is at the top of the list, but guys that I played with at Williams (yours included, and I was no all league guy), and against, at Hamilton (the two Michaels come to mind, Smith and Nelson) would have received interest.  there were others, but at the moment I can't recall, I'm getting old (whitmore, son of whitmore, who transferred from Brown to play for daddy at Colby... he was good)..... and let me end it with this, I have played against all levels of ballers from NBA to D3,  unless a guy has absolutely no athleticism, it is almost impossible to project what level he could play at if given the opportunity, and right situation.
