Heck of a retort.
Other than the Cincy game, similar point totals, with Lamb shooting a heck of a lot better and delivering clutch shots in the AZ game (clutch 3), SDSU game (2 beautiful runners in crunch time), and once he showed up offensively in the second half for the Butler game, game over. Just go look at the game by game boxscores. That is why he got into the jumping to the NBA conversation.
Now if I said BET or the season than your well thought out response would have been fitting.
Sorry for the terse retort. I was stunned at the assertion and still am. Don't get me wrong: Jeremy was huge for us in the NCAAs. But if you thought he was more clutch than Kemba, I guess I just saw it differently than you. What I saw was a very good player who benefited immensely from the incredible attention and pressure being directed to Kemba. The fact that they had similar point totals is very telling imo, when you consider that Kemba was usually fighting through an army to get his points, and more often than not Jeremy was exploiting a mismatch. Jeremy is calm, cool and extremely talented, and he was a critical part of the unprecedented run we accomplished. I think his make-up is such that he will probably be a pretty clutch player even with increased attention and coverage, and without Kemba drawing all that pressure. But to say that Jeremy was more clutch than Kemba in the NCAAs is to overlook the circumstances each one of them faced, imo. I just don't think it's a fair comparison. It's not even apples to oranges; it's apples to oceans.

Appreciated response. Either way, it's better to disagree about a championship trip than otherwise.
 
I'm just excited for the season to start...key will be chemistry and leadership...and I trust JC and coaches to develop it early...depth is great early, but I don't see him going past 7-8 deep regular rotation as we get into Feb/march...MB, Tyler and Niels will get minutes based on matchups and foul trouble...

I suspect we'll have a few WTF losses as most teams do every year...
