Was Jon really saying that White was better than Zeller?
I thought his point was that they were comparable.

If you were starting a Big Ten team and had a draft, you are taking Zeller over White.
I just threw their stats up to show how much Aaron is doing, considering the run that Zeller is getting.

No he wasn't, and I don't think anyone argued he was. My entire point is that they are not comparable, as Zeller is clearly better.

That was one game. Why wouldn't he dunk it when we were just giving it to him repeatedly (rarely did he go OVER anyone)? Watch him against team who play better defense than we do. You'll see a much more well-rounded player, because the defense forces him to show off his all-round game. We gave him the easy plays all night.

Yes, they're 6-6 for a reason. It's because outside of Zeller, it's basically the same team they've had for the last several years. Without him, that team really isn't much good at all.

Oh, in that case, you're even more wrong. Zeller is a lottery pick if he leaves this season.
now that's the funniest thing you've said Ghost
a lottery pick; boy you are smoken some good stuff;
as for the talent on that team there are 4 players that were 4* coming out of HS
3 are now Jr's, i have seen Zeller play several times this season. he is good but not lottery pick good.
Zeller is their only 7' and is their starting Center
Iowa does not have a center, what they have is to many forwards, Archie and Brommers should be playing PF and White, Basabe, McCabe should be forwards as well not trying to play the center spot, so yeah a 7' center has a advantage over a 6'7 to 6'8 player.
the only player that provides a matchup is Olaseni and he should have RS'd

Haha and you asked me if I ever saw basketball. If Zeller went to the nba right now they would eat him alive.

Ok then, take that up with all of the scouts who say he's a lottery pick then.
Personally, I'll take their word over yours, and not because they're scouts, but because you're Herby. I have seen better basketball analysis scraping out the cat box than I have in a single one of your posts.
You find me a single mock draft where Zeller is not in the lottery, or quote a single scout saying he won't be picked in the lottery, and I'll take it back.

Why? he's 7 feet tall, and you said all it took to be good at basketball was to be 7 feet tall....right?
Same deal applies for you. Show me a legitimate source telling me Zeller won't be a high draft pick, and I'll apologize for everything.

I googled exactly what you said, and the results show...
Zeller was #14 on NBAdraft.net (The one you claimed above he wasn't on)
He's #10 on ESPN
He's #9 on Draft Express
He's #12 on NBA-Draft.com
He's #13 on Hoops report
#14 on Fox Sports
#9 on Hoopsaddict
#12 on Insidehoops
And that's just the results you told me to Google...
No Herby there are some but also some that don't have him at all

I was thinking the same thing. Same thing with saying Burke is better. I'll take White knowing that we have Woody and good points coming in.

No, one needs only to watch a game to know that Dwight Howard is better than Chris Bosh.
By your logic, we can't definitively say Chris Paul is better than Kostas Koufos because they play different positions. How are we to know that Michael Jordan was a better player than Greg Ostertag? There is just no way to figure it out.

You know what he is saying. Who is better Burke or Zeller? It is hard to compare.
