He is not a defensive player in the half court. His driving ability isn't good enough to scare D's - they would prefer he drive so they belly up ferociously. He strikes fear in teams because he can hammer the 3 from deep, deep and under pressure.He was pretty good on defense this year, but that's only 1/3. And he can drive the basket and hit those difficult layups, so I wouldn't call him one dimensional.
You have got to be kidding me if you don't even think lofton is top 3 or even top 5 in ut history. He has already taken the vols in the tourny further then houston did and right there with benard king. He is the leader of probably the greatest ut team to ever be assembled for the upcoming year. And not to mention he has a good shot at holding the ncaa record for career 3 pointers made. That's got to mean something.
Always good to see the stats Cotton. It will take a very special player to crack that top 4. It will be hard for anyone to supplant bernie from the top spot. Maybe if we ever win a NC the best player on that team. Other than that it's doubtful.

Michael Brooks would also be higher up the UT scoring list. He is currently 11th with 1600 career points.
Bernard King
no one else is close
I really don't know if Lofton would make the top 5
Anyone who uses the excuse I wasn't born or I was too young....guess what it is lame.....If you profess to love UT then learn the history of UT Basketball. Same goes for UT football or any UT sports.
Bernard King
Dale Ellis
Allan Houston
Reggie Johnson
Ernie Grunfeld
you have no frame of refenerence Donnie.Since I wasn't born when Bernard played and was real young when Allan Houston played I'll say Ron Slay, Vincent Yarbrough, Marcus Haislip, and Chris Lofton since they've all played in the past 10 years.
:thumbsup:1. king
2. ellis
3. houston
in my opinion those three really standout ahead of the rest.
