PTL 7/2 Hawkeye stats

Did you guys not read my post earlier? Coach K (one of the greatest coaches of all time) picked Kingsbury as the best shooter he's ever seen!

Great post. I attended many, many games that Kingsbury and Gatens played in (different times, of course). I'd take Gatens in a heartbeat, over Kingsbury. Gatens is what a college player is supposed to be. Someone that gets better every year, for 4 or 5 years. Put it this way. Imagine that team of Woolridge, Settles, Mullard and Murray if Gatens was on it. Gatens would have fit into the framework of that team. It would have been "pick your poison". And Gatens played much better defense than Kingsbury.

Those teams should have been so much better than what happened.

Lot of good players that didn't materialize into the team it could have.

Two McDonadls all Americans, big ten freshman of the year, and Woolride Bowen and Millard. I think Street would have overlapped in there too.

Sad.

I don't get people's argument about Kingsbury having better players around him so he had it easier. If Kingsbury was the only player on the team that could score, like Gatens was, he would have scored a lot more points. I guess I get the idea that the defense can concentrate more on stopping just one guy. But that idea is stupid. It's not like they were going box and 1 on Gatens. If Gatens played on a better team he would have played less minutes and taken less shots.

Since I never made the NBA either, we are all 3 one in the same.

So, you went straight over to Europe, then PC?

Yeah, uh-huh.

I agree PC. That argument doesn't make sense.

I'm not sure about Kingsbury, but neither Lil Lick or myself went to Europe. Not sure what that has to do with playing in the NBA though.

Sure see it a lot though.
