Pearl's teams had ten times the talent. He also inherited Lofton who put us on the map.Without him Bruce wouldn't have been able to win or recruit.

Say what?........this team is way more talented than pearl's first team

Is it? The talent on this team is so overrated IMO.

CJ Watson or Antonio Barton
Chris Lofton or Jordan McRae
Jujuan Smith or Josh Richardson
Dane Bradshaw or Jeronne Maymon

I'm taking Pearl's guys on all 4 of those. Stokes is better than whoever our C was. Can't remember. Patterson?

People think so highly of that team bc it won......if Zo was able to coach both teams.....this team would beat that one by ten points.

I'm not using that to defend Zo. I think people overestimate this teams talent. I also think that because Buzz was so awful, people underestimate the talent on Pearls first team.

Tell me which of those 4 I listed are better?

Lofton vs McRae: give me C Lo all day

CJ an nba pg or Antonio Barton who couldn't get minutes at Memphis? CJ

Jajuan Smith or Rich? Jajuan was better. Better defender, better shooter, better all around. Give me Jajuan

Maymon would have the edge on Bradshaw but since the knee, Dane is better IMO.

The 4 on the right were all more highly sought after than the 4 on the left. Bad talent evaluation on both sides or better developed/utilized play on the left vs the right? That's the question that has to be asked.

And Bradshaw was nothing but a gutsy, blue collar guy that knew his role. No one would argue that he's more talented than Maymon, no one. Unless you're basketball IQ borderlines on a comatose state.

Big edge to CJ.......Love C Lo but McRae avgs more points and shoots the same from the field....we all know c Lo ability from deep....slight edge to C Lo.......josh averaged the same as jajuan and shoots better from the field and three....pretty even.....Dane was a 3rd string point that found a role in pearls helter skelter style....huge advantage to Maymon and stokes.

The big edge that team had was the man leading it.

I agree with the last sentence for sure.

The bolded is for sure. Peterson should have been able to take that team to the NCAAT, and he couldn't even get a winning season out of them.

Go get Buzz Williams from Marquette.

Now Patrick you know that statistics can only be used if it shows how great Martin is.
