Thoughts on Ray Allen/Bouknight

[ChrisSmithsPart]

Did you guys SEE them play? I’m not talking about stats. I mean watch them on the court? Either one would have made Bouknight look like he belonged in the Yankee Conference and he is absolutely not that. He is potentially a very good player. Ray especially though was special even as a freshman.

Not just that but College basketball was at whlole other level back then. Great players stayed in school longer so the competition was much higher regardless of conference. You have some of the best players skipping college altogether today (LaMelo Ball) or playing a few games for 1 year like Zion & Wiseman. It's not a knock against today's player's it's just a fact.

Saw both of them play in person all the time their freshman year, this is a foolish exercise on your part.
