Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4407946, member: 1414"] How can I be denigrating the game of a guy who has never played a college game? I hope he’s as good as freaking Chris Mullin, I really do. This place becomes unhinged and tends to place expectations on Freshmen that they rarely meet. Meanwhile, returning guys who didn’t play much are assumed not to have improved. Happens every year. Last summer people said I was crazy when I said Martin would be the starting SG, not Hawkins. “He can’t handle the ball well enough! He can’t shoot well enough!” Guys improve. If Johnson hasn’t then he won’t play much. I don‘t know how it’s going to shake out. Nobody here does. I doubt Hurley knows at this point. Both guys will probably play more while Jackson is out, which may be what Hurley was alluding to as the side benefit from his absence. I am honestly thrilled that the conversation is between Karaban and Johnson, and not ”Jackson will start at the 4”, which half of the board believed three months ago. [/QUOTE]
