No, it doesn't . Thabeet was no where near the talent Emeka was, that's indisputable . Emeka would have scored more but our guards and team were pretty well stacked at the scoring options, put Emeka on this years team and he averages 28-30 easily ..
easily? You're suggesting he would have led the country in scoring by 2 points a game? Only 2 players in college basketball have averaged 30pts per game in the last 25 years.
Yeah and your a genius lawyer then. Look at their NBA careers and overall career numbers, and who any NBA gm would take on their team now and then if they had to choose between Emeka and Thabeet. Your logic on who and why they picked or voted makes zero sense now that HT had such a short career and is an After Thought in the NBA circles.
We're talking about their impact on UConn, not what they did in the NBA. You are moving the goal posts again because your initial argument is without much
My argument is he wasn't feared offensively and that Emeka was a better overall talent, dispute that... His NBA career was a joke...
Although the stats show he was just 2 baskets short of Emeka's average in his best year and his equal on the defensive end. Ok.
Please you can't honestly think he had more of an impact at UCONN than Emeka, craziness, there's no goal post swaying there, that's my point ... Period
Yeah whatever, keep smoking Hasheem pipe, dude was not anywhere near the talent Emeka was and again made clear when he was out of the NBA after he finished his first cup of coffee.Although the stats show he was just 2 baskets short of Emeka's average in his best year and his equal on the defensive end. Ok.
I'm saying their impact was about 2 baskets a game different. That's what the numbers say. Your inability to recognize Thabeet was the national defensive player of the year and 2nd team all america is mystifying.
Yeah, lets
There's no inability to recognize that, all I'm saying is Emeka had all the tools of a typical C/PF and HT didn't. Again, I like HT, BUT I'm willing to bet there were more designed plays to Emeka than Thabeet, end of story.. Look, all I'm saying is it would be nice to have that type of player year in and out instead of projects that we hope can help us against the Kansas/Kentucky etc. type of PF/C s of the world. I'm as big a fan as any of you and aren't against you, it's my opinion and all of you have yours, bottom line is I just think Emeka was a better all around player, period.
Look dude, your argument was that HT was just as good or if not better than Emeka. I dispute that and say the opposite, period. Agree or not but what I AM SAYING and listen closely, for the last time, UCONN has not had a player with Emeka's all around ability in a longggggggg time, nice players have come and gone but nobody with the overall tools Emeka had at his position. love to do this all night , and I could but have to go... Thanks for the insight, it was SUPER FUN..
Magic Beans. That's the difference with Durant.
You're right, bud. The staff is really asleep at the wheel not getting Emeka frickin Okafors.
At no point was my argument that HT was as good or better than Emeka. At no point in this thread has anyone made that argument. You're a delusional idiot.
Bean Pole, but he has magic beans so yes I'll take him.
You're an idiot, read all your posts, you're defending him like he's a god, walked on water, I never said I didn't like HT or he wasn't valuable . My point has always been, We haven't had a true big man with all around skills as Emeka. Go smoke some more Hasheem...
Who said they were asleep, fool, go start a new thread.
Ya it would be nice to have a center as good as the best center in the history of our program every year. It would also be nice if kemba, ray, rip, and donyell suited up with him. Grow up peter pan
