There's no hill to die on. You're really taking issue with players being an inch taller than Karaban?

You then say Robinson-Earl is his best comp and he's bigger than all the UConn players I named, shot the three worse than all of them, and played center for Nova.

Daniels is a better style of play comparison to how Karaban plays than Giffey or Robinson-Earl from what I've seen. Lydon as Ricker pointed out and Karaban likened his game to seems like maybe the best comparison.

Alex is free to compare his game to anyone he likes. Lydon is listed as 6'10" and 225 lbs. Karaban is nowhere near that size. Would I be happy if Karaban could put up the shooting, scoring and rebounding numbers of Lydon? Hell yeah. And Karaban is free to look at highlights and try to model his game after Lydon. But that's not a good comp.

^ Interesting, and new to me. Thx.

An alternative take, offered without contrary attitude other than how it tracks the thinking that went into my comment:

Effectiveness/Effectivity

Hi there, Both "effectiveness" and "effectivity" are uncountable nouns related to the adjective "effective". Which one of these terms would you go for in context like this: We have the expression effective working as part of a team and want to change it into a noun phrase. We have...

[billybud]

effectivity is just a noun...and is fine to use rather than the adjective.

Many may not be as familiar with that use as old Mirriam Webster is...

Jargon has it's own place....organizations have "styles".

Eg. You would not hold a meeting in government speak. You would conduct a meeting.

And Tyler Polley is literally 6'9"-6'10" tall.

Polley is 6'9", which you know. He was 6'7", 190 when he was recruited, the exact size as on Karaban's 247 profile. And even if he were two inches taller, that's very obviously not a meaningful difference. Don't be ridiculous.

I'm sitting this one out. Checkers over chess.

Don't be ridiculous.

^ Ridiculous

This reads like a ham-handed add-on, the kind of thing intended to shut down all further conversation, as though no other possibility is to be tolerated.

You've got your point of view, but not enough authority or power to control the discussion.

I'd say, "Nice try," but it wasn't nice, and it wasn't necessary. It lessens what you wrote, dressed up falsely as strengthening. And if you think that's a dumb thing to say, trust that it's just a boorish mirror.

Silent assassin

Would be great addition

Correcting grammar brightened your affect this morning....which often will affect your effectivity.

[Ewekon]

I think it's "affects." I rarely correct grammar, mostly because I suck at grammar, but I'm pretty sure on affect vs effect.

Ya know, I debated that, Tom. But I remain committed to the post and my gallows pole lies in waiting just in case.

My comp? Old school Rick Barry.
