    It's not surprising that you misunderstood what I said....it would be almost shocking if you followed along.

    JJ Redick was a 4 year college player....because he wasn't seen as an NBA prospect until he spent that many years in college despite statistical success. Reed Sheppard was considered by many to be the best prospect in the NBA draft after ONE season in college. Why? Due to skillset.

    I get that casuals like yourself struggle with concepts like that, so I understand that you'll always need to be one of those who figures it out several years later, and that's fine....but that's also why it's not worth it to argue with you.

    Give it a few years and maybe you'll start to figure it out...or not. Honestly it doesn't matter one way or the other.

    So nothing of value to add and sprinklings of insults as per usual? My mistake for engaging, I'll leave you to it again lmao. Enjoy raging by yourself in the ether, Bobby.

    I was caught up in Jalen Green much like others. His biggest issue was that unlike Sheppard, he didn't come in when we had a competent coach at the helm. Silas basically let him do whatever he wanted which was just an extension of the dross that was the G League Ignite. Jalen basically did not get held to any standard from the 6th Grade all the way through Ime's first year. Reed has been held accountable at every level he's ever been at. So his footing is much more sound. Even as I've gotten older I've learned to spot players that are "flash in the pan" types vs those that are actually a worthwhile investment. If anything, Jalen Green helped me learn that even more. Especially nowadays in the age of social media where these kids are learning how to work the social channels at a very early age. Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper are two recent examples of players that I simply do not trust. Another was how Shaedon Sharpe finessed his entire Kentucky year and would duck out of anything that would make him look bad.
