Dane wasn't that good period, and he's overrated b/c he's white and he hustled, but he was a smart decision maker and could get us into the offense. I'm not saying he would have been a great option, but i'd rather him play the PG over Ramar Smith than the 4 with Ramar Smith at point.

He used to date my ex-gf's old roomate. He's a cool kid but for some reason he never changes out of his pajama pants which is kinda strange... Glad to see he got drafted though!

He hustled, but everyone hyped him up as if he was going straight to the league. He was scrappy, but didn't have any defense at all.

He tried for the first two years of his UT career and was an utter joke. | |

| b/c Dane was so much better at the 4? I think we can both agree that he wasn't that good to be starting for us period, but had too. I think in Bruce's system he would have had better luck at PG than under Buzz.

| and Hat, idk if it would have worked, it might not, but if we did have Wingate, we would have had a lot more depth in the post and it would have been interesting to see what could have happened.
