Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 3387557, member: 6696"] Claim 1: RJ Cole is more undersized than Rique How is a person who is taller and heavier than Alterique, that plays the same position, "more undersized." This makes less than 0 sense. Keep in mind that RJ is also a full 2 years younger than rique and will likely get stronger. Alterique -- 6'0 and 180 lbs. RJ Cole -- 6'1 and 185 lbs Claim 2: RJ Cole can't shoot any better. Based on a single PRACTICE you witnessed. Let's look at games vs. high-major competition instead, yeah? Harvard: 21/3/8 7/18 FG 2/8 3PT 5/8 FT 2 STL 2 TO Georgetown: 28/2/6 9/21 FG 2/5 3FG 8/8 FT 2 STL 6 TO Indiana: 27/2/8 8/22 FG 5/8 3FG 6/6 FT 1 STL 1 TO #17 Gonzaga: 16/1/4 5/17FG 2/8 3FG 4/5 FT 0 STL 3 TO (This team finished the season #8) USF: 17/2/6 5/14 FG 1/5 3FG 6/6 FT 1 STL 3 TO Georgetwon: 17/3/8 6/19 FG 3/9 3FG 2/2 FT 1 STL 1 TO Your averages for freshman and sophomore year: 21 PPG 2.2 RPG 6.7 APG 36% FG 35% 3FG 84% FT 1.2 STL 2.7 TO In comparison, Rique is shooting vs high major comp this year: Florida: 10/2/4 3/13 0/6 4/7 2 stl 2 to Xavier: 14/6/5 2/13 1/2 9/9 0 stl 3 TO Miami 4/3/7 2/5 0/4 0/1 0 stl 2 to Indiana: 3/4/8 1/9 1/4 0/0 0 STL 3 TO Cinci: 7/2/2 3/9 1/3 0/0 1 stl 3 to USF: 4/1/8 1/3 1/2 1/2 1 stl 3 to 7 PPG 3 RPG 5.3 APG 23% FG 19% 3 FG 78 % FT 0.7 STL 2.7 TO So your two claims 1) He's more undersized than Rique; 2) He can't shoot any better are both pretty easily proven wrong. There's no eye test here--these are numbers. Coming from the MEAC is a concern. That's obvious. But the kid isn't smaller than Rique, and he shot better against high-major comp with a less talented supporting cast. [/QUOTE]
