I agree. I would have thought he’d be a little more raw than Springer, too, though. If he is truly putting it together this early, he will be a special player.
I’ll be the first one to say it but I think pons has enough of an elite skill that he might get drafted this season as a specialist type player with projection to be more
I don’t know about that. I don’t recall anyone predicting GW going as high as he went until very late in the process when info started slipping out from the NBA types
Bone would be Jackson, except better, imoWilliams did a superb job of working on his weaknesses and he and Admiral will be the modern day version of Grunfeld and King back in the 70's while you could say that Alexander is like Mike Jackson in that he was a very integral part of that team that did not get a lot of recognition.
...Bone is Darden, Alexander as a Senior is Reggie Johnson as a Freshman, Williams and Admiral in their last year are Ernie and Bernie in their first year together. Bowden is Jackson.Bone would be Jackson, except better, imo
Bone is not as good as Darden....Bone is Darden, Alexander as a Senior is Reggie Johnson as a Freshman, Williams and Admiral in their last year are Ernie and Bernie in their first year together. Bowden is Jackson.
Ernie and Bernie at least slightly underachieved, based on their talent, especially in the tourney. Williams and Co. overachieved, at least in their last year together.
Those '70's teams did not have a sixth man (Lamonte Turner). That very well could have been their reason for lack of tourney success. Depth was practically non-existent.
That's interesting. I would love to have a comparison of how those two compared statistically their last two years. They were both generally surrounded by very good players, and as such, weren't looked at as first option to score guys.
