And, the second part what have I been consistently wrong about? My contention was McRae seemed more athletic.

McRae is no where near as athletic as hubbs. The only reason he can throw down nasty dunks is cause of his freakish 7ft wingspan

My other point was Pearl really didn't need McRae to play his freshman year and Martin needs Hubbs this year because Pearl had more depth. You say Tatum wasn't used at the two. With the motion offense that Pearl had was there a big difference between the two and the three? And, others were used at the two besides Hopson.

What do you mean by no where near? I guess I just haven't seen it with Hubbs. He comes into the game, doesn't look too impressive, then goes out of the game. What am I missing?

What does that have to do with athleticism? Hubbs is the best athlete we have had since Hopson

-Spelling of McRae.
-Tatum playing the 2.
-McRae looked better than Hubbs as a freshman.

1. Spelling of McCrae was not one of my points.
2. Tatum playing the two....I think he did play the two some.
3. I didn't say McRae looked better than Hubbs-only more athletic.

Disagree. McRae, Richardson, Barton, and Thompson can all play SG if needed. Hubbs is a luxury this year. If we needed him as much as you say, he'd be playing more.

Both teams had ample depth at the guard positions to not "need" either McRae or Hubbs as freshmen to be major contributors.

I'm not saying Tatum never played the SG position. It just wasnt his primary position.

They're not impressing or winning the important games. He better be or become more than a luxury. Your argument is getting weaker.

To quote you, "Ok, if you say so."

Keep being wrong. It's working.

"Is there a big difference between the #2 or 5 shooting guard and the #9 shooting guard? McRae looked better as a freshman than Hubbs has so far. He looked more athletic. But, it is too early to really evaluate Hubbs. I remember Pearl used to say he would take a freshman and focus on what he did well and try to improve that and not focus on what he didn't do well. I wonder what Martin's approach is?"

This is what I said. Stop pulling stuff out of context because your argument is getting weak.

It wasn't my original argument. My comment was only about McRae being more athletic which you agreed with.

No I said I understand what you are trying to say, and I do. I'm not on anyone's side, honestly this forum has become a sh!t storm the past few days. We seriously can't play soon enough.

How does posting the entire post of babble change the portion I quoted? You blatantly say above McRae looked better than Hubbs as a freshman (which is patently wrong), then denied saying it, and now your apparently attempting to redefine the definition of "looked better".

How is my argument getting any weaker? It hasn't changed, unlike your constant waffling. If there is some other way for me to interpret the phrase, "McRae looked better as a freshman than Hubbs has so far", then please, I'm all ears.

The same way that the Martin haters switch from saying he must make the tournament to he must make it, win x number of games and look pretty doing it. Nothing is enough and there is something to whine about.
