Why, because I disagree with you? I thought this board was for discussion.
Because it's a ridiculous post. Kemba, Bazz, and El-Amin aren't pure points despite being the best points in the whole country. Curry, Lillard and all the other best point guards in the NBA don't make the cut because they can shoot and score from everywhere.

I'm trying to follow here. Kemba, Bazz and KEA can't be called pure point guards because they could make shots?

Now you're getting it, you can only be a pure PG if the other parts of your game are limited

Yep. Who knew our best point guards of all-time are Taliek, Tate, Ollie, and Sheffer.

There's another thread kicking around where if Vital was plugged into the lineup with Kemba, Bazz, or Emeka he would be an all-time great.

You mean Enoch not “Diaries”? Those guys transferred because of Ollie... before Ollie was fired. So don’t bother bringing it up.
Enoch Powell, famous Brit politician, wife's "diaries" captured Brit political social life in 50's, 60's.

The freshmen will be here next year, doubt if Gilbert and Vital will. If they don't work out the kinks in their games this year, they'll have to do next year. When does Uconn start to win again?
Vital's elibility is up at the end of this season and Gilbert will probably leave. We should be pretty good next season.

I hope you’re kidding. Stats don’t just transfer to next level. If you’re not sure about that look at Gilbert as an example. A good recruit shouldn’t peak in HS. How many great college players don’t translate into NBA players? Don’t be lazy like Ollie and just stand behind some HS numbers.

You’re right, he was only the number two (2) ranked point guard in his class. What Ollie really needed was a guy with your foresight and eye for talent on his staff.

I would recommend checking out box scores from 2003 and 2004. Tell me we couldn't use that point guard right about now. Sometimes you don't know what you had until it's gone.
Oh, i absolutely agree. My point was that the final Taliek product didn’t happen right away. He used to get killed, much like what’s happening to AG right now.
T Brown got better and the team had enough firepower to finish the job. But he didn’t start out as everybody’s favorite PG!

Disagree. I don’t consider Bazz, Kemba or El Amin to be pure point guards. Thus me saying Taliek is too 3. Those guys are combo guard who looked to score first.
