If the expectations for Hubbs aren't tempered, I feel some are gonna be critical of him early on as well.

My fear as well.

I wasn't saying he is a "bust" just that he isn't performing that well. I was saying Tennessee as a baskeball program kinda always "bust" with these 5 star guys. Tobias cashed in after year 1 so he played it smart. Then again with him and Stokes then I think this thread never happens.Still a good bit of games left maybe Stokes will get more physical and we can make the tourny some how

So with Maymon healthy this thread probably never happens?

I would kill to have Scotty back.

I can do without the 'me first' attitude that carries over into inconsistent play.

I can not make a strong argument over that, although I believe Scotty has better release of the basketball over McRae and McRae is still skinny as F compared to Scotty.

I don't care what the release looks like as long as the shot goes in. McRae may be skinnier but he's a lot more willing to drive than Scotty was.

Can't believe who I'm watching sometimes.
Even had his shoulder in Noels mid section trying to move him out of the way.
Fouled several times (no calls) and just kept coming.
Jordy has definitely found his game.

He didn't cure cancer, pull us from the fiscal cliff, or stop Hurricane Sandy though.

Didn't meet expectations of our rational fanbase.

Bust
