Here's where you're missing the obvious point: just because someone is a grown man doesn't mean they're actually good at basketball.

I think a lesson from my grandmother would help you, considering the volume of arguments you start on here with takes on one agrees with: "when it smells like s&^t everywhere you go, check your own shoe"

So shooting 47% from the field against grown men over a season and performing is disregarded but shooting 40% from the field against U19 is put on a pedastal?

Make it make sense

Got one for you too!

When I was reading as a lurker it was way too peaceful with people agreeing on bad evaluations. Had to come back to get some proper POV on the board again.

The difference between you and I is that I somehow manage to say "I was wrong" once in a while. I had a bad take--congratulations on finding it.

That has absolutely nothing to do with what I said though. You're just trying to distract from the fact that I stated the aforementioned "grown men" are terrible. Being a "grown man" doesn't make you good at a sport. It's D3 basketball at best. Feel free to disagree with that, but at least respond to the point instead of having a tantrum.

You do this kind of stuff and then complain when people start calling you an idiot. Do you see the irony, or is that above you?

Doesn't Tarris just completely disprove this point? There were thousands of fans begging for him to start and Hurley stuck with the guy who'd been in the program longer.

In the Tarris interview earlier this summer Tarris admitted he didn’t start seriously working on what the coaches wanted until January. The Reed/Samson issue wasn’t just about loyalty.

The press didn’t ask Tarris for specifics. So let’s conjecture what the coaches felt Tarris needed to work on to reach his potential.

My first thought is they wanted him to practice going up strong when scoring. My second thought is they wanted him working on hedges. Hurley talks about Tarris’s incredible quickness so considering his size advantage I imagine he sees Tarris as having the potential to be better than Whaley.

The piece you're missing is that most of those grown men are not good basketball players, and certainly not D1 caliber

Maybe peace and improper POV is something that the yard likes, as opposed to your holier than thou BS opinions. Maybe lurking is your calling. Maybe a poll is necessary?

Are you telling me, outside of the US team of course, the grown men in the highest league in Serbia are not better than the U19 players in other countries?

Also, you’re factually incorrect on the D1 caliber part and you’re making assumptions based on no research.

This is from a 28 point game Uros had on 9-11 shooting.

The team featured at least 4 former D1 players from Dayton, Iowa, App State, and St John’s.

So that’s just a completely false statement and far from the D3 basketball at best as @husky429 said.

Can you say you were wrong here about this being D3 basketball 429?

I'm proud of you for responding instead of resorting to some weird screenshot of a 2 year old comment again.

The Serbian league is better than I thought which is pretty cool. I'm guessing the highlights I saw were from when he was still in the ABA league or whatever it's called over there.

No, that doesn't seem anywhere close to what I said

Got it, doesn't really change my opinion but thanks. I was just going off the list of all their stats leaders and not seeing a single D1 player other than Demetre Roberts who I mentioned to you. The point remains, it's a massive step up for him to transition to D1 basketball in the US

One of the players from the game. Actually a familiar name.

He averaged about the same amount of points as he did at St John’s that season in the league. Think you’re sleeping on the level of basketball played there. But we’ll see once the season starts.

I used to work for an overseas sports agency so I’m familiar with the landscape over there. If teams have the budget, they are usually trying to have at least 2 D1 players or high high level D2 guys. They aren’t pulling from D3 scraps even outside the Euro league.

Just a couple of CT names playing overseas currently, but Khalil Dukes (former conference POTY at Niagara) is playing in Hungry. Jared Wilson Frame (former leading scorer for Pitt) is playing in Mexico.

The A division leagues overseas aren’t as bad as you think they are when compared to college hoops. If you’re comparing it to the NBA then yeah, completely different ball game.

Also maybe people here are referencing our exhibition games from last summer in Europe. But something to keep in mind is that was there D2 team. That was not their D1.
