overhyped, undersized point guards who are average outside shooters and care more about flashy passes and their own stats than helping their team win, yeah I'd say it is a pretty good comparison.
Volsguy, I think your misunderstanding me. Rosario is the kid playing right now that is going to Rutgers. This is the 08 class. Greg Echenique is a player from the 09 class who has committed to Rutgers. Next year will be his sr year of high school.
I know this game isn't really useful for coming to a verdict on one player vs another, but to me I think I'd rather have Hopson than Singleton or Elliot. Mind you this is the first time I've seen any of them playing, but he just seems a bit more explosive than they do.
I played against Jrue when he was a freshman at a Daytona Beach tournament my junior year, and I was astonished to find out after the game he was only a freshman. His skills, demeanor, and attitude have always been extremely mature.
Wait until he plays against guys on the next level and tries to shoot over them, he's in for a rude awakening. He may be a better than average shooter, but by no means is he a great shooter. Jennings is not on the same level as Derrick Rose either, not even close.
I'm curious to know what Elliots wingspan is. I bet it's at least 6'8, he is LONG. I think if he puts on 15 pounds he can be a lockdown defender even at the NBA level.
He really is. I was delightfully suprised at his size. He gets to learn some real check d from K next year. That will be great with him replacing the ACC defensive player of the year. And he is a bigger scoring threat than Demarcus.
