Harrison Twins

You still think they're overrated? By who? I get that I didn't watch the same game as most of you, because I don't boil over with rage at the sight of Kentucky's uniforms, but while neither one of those kids is going to be a star in the NBA, they're both very good college guards. People calling them "terrible" and saying they have "no skill" or whatever sound silly. They would get all the time they wanted at Connecticut and anyone saying otherwise is just wearing their "I hate Cal" glasses.

They both shoot sub 40% from the floor with PER's below 20. Andrew is a pretty good distributor, but far from great in that category. Racking up 3 assists a game when you have four other 5 star recruits on the floor isn't too impressive, decreased playing time or not.

I think calling them "very good college guards" is a stretch. They're about as good as Purvis is, maybe a little better, maybe a little worse.

I would say very good college guards is about accurate. If they had a true PG next to them, they'd have a much better chance to use their skills. It would be like Ben Gordon playing without Taliek.

They were both top-5 recruits coming out of HS. Now they are 2nd Round selections. Another reason I disagree with everyone who says The Squid develops players.

He's probably hoping they leave.

Maybe we just have a different definition of very good. I would say that playing with three lottery picks down low offers enough spacing that it offsets any problem of not having a true point guard. If you're a shooting guard that it isn't very efficient as a shooter it's questionable about how valuable you are.

Anyone else notice how long it took the squid fanboy to post after his hero lost?

This has to be the stupidest red herring anybody is running out on this board.

Goodman is trying to stir s--- with BBN.

He's such a clown.

Goodman's got a radio face, newspaper voice and insight that is limited to 140 characters. He's pretty lucky Twitter came along when it did.
