ANd again this is stupid. Look guys you can make excuses to why Uhl didn't shoot as well as White did as a freshman but the fact that White was a better shooter as a freshman is settled. It's not debatable. Uhl was not as good a shooter as White was a freshman. He wasn't close to as good a...
Yeah, I mean in all honesty the statement "shooting percentages are irrelevant" is pretty stupid too. Shooting percentages and statistics in general might not tell the whole story but they aren't "irrelevant".
Second, I don't agree with you that Uhl will be a significantly better shooter by...
None of this has a damn thing to do with what you said in your OP. You said Uhl was already a much better shooter than White when they were both freshman. That is a factually inaccurate statement. No amount of circular and convoluted reasoning can change that. Look you said something stupid...
Quit moving the bar. Had you said "I think Uhl has the potential to be a better shooter than White" you wouldn't be in this mess. But you didn't say that. You said something statistically indefensible and honestly quite stupid ("Uhl is already a much better shooter than White was as a...
Shooting percentage stats are irrelevant when comparing the shooting ability of players. Huh, that's a new one on me. In that case I'm going to assert that Little Lick was the greatest shooter in Iowa history based on how his shot looked to me (for the sake of argument lets pretend I don't know...
We got a learning disability here? He was better as a freshman than most we've had in almost 30 years. Teams always NEED their best players to play, that's kinda how it works. White didn't get run cause everyone else sucked. He got run cause he had game. You would have to go back to 86-87...
Lol, you take the jumper that looks better and I will take the one that goes in the hole we will see who wins. Uhl may very well end up with a serviceable jumper. He might even surpass White as a shooter at some point. You can debate those this and look reasonably intelligent. What you...
Ohhh and another thing. White played 20+mpg as a frosh because he was THAT GOOD. You would have to go back 30 years to find an Iowa team that wouldn't have given him significant playing time as a freshman.
Ok, I lied, I do know a lot about basketball. The though that Uhl was even close to as good a shooter as White as a freshman (let alone superior as the OP would have us believe) is asinine. It's absolutely moronic. It isn't debatable.
I don't know much about basketball but I'm pretty good at math.
White shot 57% from the floor, 28% from 3, and 70% from the line his freshman year. Uhl shot 36%, 19%, and 52% respectively.
It's kind of hard to take the rest of this post seriously.
While good advice from my mamma, it goes against basic human nature...we have to biiitch.
...and where would Hawks fans go for their serious Hawk conversations?
