Message: [QUOTE="Shine33, post: 3432394, member: 10026"] I think it’s pretty simple. Bouknight is our best player who should have the ball in his hands in late game situations. The go to guy. Vital is the hardest worker. The lion heart who does the little things. The senior leader. He scores high in all the “hustle” and “leadership” categories. Rebounds, steals and free throws. But he’s not gonna do what Bouk can do when the game is on the line. He’s not going to be drafted into the NBA. And when faced with overwhelming talent he struggles to score. I don’t know why I take so much heat for pointing out the truth. Even Hurley doesn’t want Vital to be our go to guy at the end of games and has noticed Vitals bad late game decisions and has gotten on him over it. People aren’t treating him wrong on here. They’re just stating facts. I’ve said a million times I think he’s a warrior. But you guys are bloating him up to be something he is not and I don’t like when people try to shove opinions down my throat and if I don’t agree they get mad. He would likely be behind a lot of our great guys on classic UConn times. He wouldn’t start as a 2 over Ben Gordon, or J Lamb or Napier. Not even sure if he would have started over a guy like Jerome Dyson. Most of these dudes were drafted in the nba and has really really high level talent. So it’s not inaccurate to say he wouldn’t have started. Though he definitely would have gotten plenty of minutes. I just don’t like you guys telling me he’s up there with those guys when he hasn’t been able to help us to a postseason yet. Let’s see if that changes but as of right now I think you guys are overrating his abilities when you try to place him on our UConn great guards Mount Rushmore [/QUOTE]
