Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3589194, member: 3535"] Hopjim can I say this?-- I respect your opinion. I hope our discussions won't become heated and they haven't been which is great. I enjoy the back-and-forth - I hope you and others do too. [B]You and I complete opposites if your expectation of KLS was teh smae as Steiw and Maya. Also,[/B] I find it odd if your expectation of KLS was same class as Maya and Stewie then why not Paige? I also loved KLS - a lot. But I never saw her as "Maya-great." And I can recall on one of Geno's shows - before Stewie came- he said something like "Most talented player we have ever had coming ot UCONN." And as you say you don't know how good Paige will be- same with me to an extent-- I just know she is going ot be terrific. I can't define "generational" or any of that other stuff. Further, when you dratc players unless it's a Maya Moore Stiiew player - you never know "how good they will be." Nearly every player has risk. But I'd like to ask you a question-- ****If you were an NBA GM would you have passed on drafting LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett? They didn't prove what they could do out of High School. So while you say I am "annointing" Paige; It's only that I say she is going to be one helluva player. But I agree with the NBA scouts that would draft LeBron, Kobe and Garnett even though they didn't play any college ball. Just as the scouts took "the risk" I would take similar "risk" with Paige. I believe it to be "A sound risk." At leats here I see Paige was rated higher as a junior than Boston and I see just last summer she was the best on her team. I'm supposed to ignore that? Give me the risk any day of the week just as I would take "the risk" with LeBron, Kobe and Kevin. [/QUOTE]
