Gatens pro?

[GhostofBTT]

Reddick played with 8 guys every year better than anyone Gatens has played with...



Yes I am exaggerating but the point still stands

Don't you think that makes scoring 27 points per game his senior season that much more impressive?

not really, all that tells me, is he had more freedom to score, as he had more help and teams couldn't dbl team him , now had he had less talent around him it would be more impressive,

Matt is Jon Diebler 2.0. I think Diebler is playing Euro ball right now.

He is the all time leader in scoring at Duke, 2nd leading scorer in ACC history, and 17 leading scorer in NCAA history.

He didn't accomplish all of that just because he had a good team around him.

Gatens will get an opportunity to make a solid living playing professionally overseas, but has 0 chance of playing in the NBA. Shurna is a much more dynamic offensive player than Gatens and he has no shot in the NBA either. Not a knock on either player, just the reality of the NBA.

I doubt Linsanity played any post season... so there's a chance.

I wouldn't sell Shurna that short...he's got more size than Gatens and a better mid-range game...it wouldn't surprise me if he stuck in the NBA with someone.

Shurna and Gaten play 2 totally different position, Shurna has a skill set at 6'8-6-9 that NBA teams like, that is he can shoot the 3 with his height

shorter nba players will rip shurnas shot before he can even get it off.
