no its about seeing the potential and realistically forecasting where a player can get to based on his [B]skill set and measurables[/B]. A Poster compared Samson to Richie Springs a year ago. Also said Castle couldn't guard PG in his high school scouting report. Citing Solo's assist numbers in limited minutes. I can go on. Clingan shouldn't be used on low block. etc etc. These receipts exist.

Alot of posters rely too much on prior stats and use that as unfair ceiling on forecasting where Dan Hurley will get them IMO. All that being said, I DO think Mahaney is a better player than Solo, not because of prior statistical performance, but rather the eye test in watching alot of basketball. The same reason I was among the first championing Reed over Cliff, Wolf etc. Forecasting Realistic POTENTIAL.

Mahaney is a well rounded creator while Solo is the archetype athletic explosive scorer. I'd always take Ginobli over Westbrook or Cam Spencer over <insert name here>

PS- Penalty flag for saying Samson fouled out in 5 minutes. He was defending Edey
