Curious, have you seen him play often?
Who would you rate the best player in the state?

Nic King was the best HS player in the state. Hubbs has the most upside at the collegiate level. King will not be as dominant as a 3 in college. Nichols will not dominate in the post in college. Hubbs has the best skill set and body for his college position.

What makes you think Hubbs has more of an upside than King or Nichol?

I think Nichols is going to struggle early in college. He has a great feel for the game, though.

I have seen them all multiple times. LOL
I was just curious why Kuostate had a different view on Baby Wade.

Good points. I think Robert Hubbs is the best player in Tennessee period. He had a group of small quick athletes around him not great basketball talent.

Doubt highly that Nichols will play post at Memphis.

i agree he will struggle some but i can see him playing significant minutes and gaining experience do to the low badketball IQ of Shaq and Tariq, those guys are great at acquiring idiotic fouls in the first 5 minutes of the game.

You do realize that IQ comes directly from Pastner? He has completely f---- up an elite talent like Adonis Thomas.
He rolls the basketball out and gives love hugs and tells them to give high energy. And yes you will be exposed again in the first round of the tourney.

Because he has the entire package for playing the 2. There are not many 6'6 guys that play the 2 and he has the size and skills for a 2. King is a 3 but he will be a small 3. Nichols will be a 4 but there are a lot 6'8 guys and larger who can do similiar things.

Pastner didn't "F" up Adonis, he simply isn't as good as everyone expected at this point. He's similar to the guys on UK's roster, touted as a one and done but simply not polished or ready. The same could be said for Stokes, Archie Goodwin, Poythress etc.

IDK what the hell you are talking about, but Jarnell averaged 14/11 in SEC play this year and did pretty damn well.

Size and skill? Hubbs is closer to 6'4 than 6'6 and very thin; King, Hubbs, and Nichols will need to add some weight/muscle just like majority of all college freshmen.

I was referring to the predicted one and done players, which we can all agree that Stokes is not ready for the NBA just like the other guys listed in my post.

Well duh, but Stokes was never a one and done player.

No Hubbs is a solid 6'5 closer to 6'6, being thin is ok if you are strong which he is. If you actually look at him he has very broad shoulders that he will grow into. A strength and nutritional program will great alter his physique by next season.

I guess JW3 finally got to get even for Hubbs getting all the adulation in Knoxville on their shared visit.

Good luck to JW3 with Haith as his coach. Martin certainly hasn't proven to be elite, but I just scratch my head at Haith. Lost to Norfolk State last year and I think they have squandered every game I have seen this year except Florida game. Last night was ridiculous. Their offense late in the game was worse than ours, and he let Bowers just keep firing from outside. Not impressed.
