Dude, you already brought this up and I've already pointed out multiple times how it's nonsense. Do you even read the links you share or the messages you reply to?

It's honestly really strange.

How is Petersen being considered the number 1 pick. The guy is always hurt or not playing. He’s like khawi of college ball.

Kind of answering your own question here

He’s about to bring up Vegas odds and if some reporter at ESPN agrees with him

Unfortunately he’s that good. AJ can score, doesn’t pass or defend well. Peterson, when he isn’t taking a night off, is gifted in all phases of the game. Never seen a more annoying player. This was probably the best chance for Arizona to lose in league play.

Hmmm - we should form our logic in a vacuum over listening to an NBA HoFer?

I can form my own logic when said NBA HoFer is factually wrong. Said NBA players opinion doesn’t supersede my opinion. It’s why NBA HoFers don’t necessarily make good GMs or coaches. When discussing something subjective there is no reason to appeal to another authority. Why? Because it’s MY eye test. When discussing something objective we only need to appeal to the facts. Which is what @superjohn and myself did. KD isn’t a higher authority than facts.

At a loss with DP - this is the flu? AZ has a kid coming off the bench who has the best rebounding rate in CBB.
 
Arizona is going to lose to some hot shooting 8/9 seed. That my prediction. They don’t shoot enough 3’s.

We want Kansas tonight, right?

It probably doesn't matter too much since we played both and Kansas is going to be a Q1A game on the road no matter what.

If you think Arizona is going to dominate the rest of their schedule, we might want to not give Kansas any chance to catch us (as potentially unlikely as that is, beating Arizona would certainly be a start). If you think there's a chance we can pass Arizona if they slip up, then we'd want Kansas.

KD and LeBron are vets, students of the game and have watched it evolve. They play the sport. And your eye test matters more?
In the current mocks, how many 6’2”
Guards are going? What do you think?

I swear you and SuperJohn are the same person with two different handles.

I haven't been at all impressed with Peterson's passing/playmaking.

Absolutes aren’t helpful. Durant was part of the shift. Guy his height who can handle the ball? That was very rare. You’ve got Wemby, Chet, even guys like Tatum that used to be power forwards. The reality is taller is better. If you can do guard things there is no benefit in being shorter. So it has gotten harder and harder for small guards. They have to be really good. Doesn’t mean there is “no room” just that it’s a tougher battle than in the past.

Facts are absolute no?

The average height of an NBA pg is 6’2. We aren’t arguing if it’s easy for them to be stars. We’re arguing if the have “NBA size”. That’s an absolute unequivocal yes. I don’t care what Kevin Durant says.

Early in the year he looked really good passing the ball. I think he’s very good at it, just doesn’t really trust anyone on his team over himself. Possibly justified. Still he’s a much more complete player than AJ. Discussed it yesterday with a former coach at a prep school.

As for tonight, Tiller is playing great and it changes everything for KU. He’s so inconsistent.
