God Dok woulda crushed this years tourney.

[PortlandHawk]

Dot is better than Pritchard.

[TDub]

Pritchard sucks

[pdub]

20.5 PPG, 5.5 APG, 4.3 RPG, 1.5 SPG 47% FG, 42% 3FG.
18.1 PPG, 4.0 APG, 3.5 RPG, 2.1 SPG, 47% FG, 31% 3FG.

It's close. Pritchard's stats looks better up and down - keying in on the fact he's a 3 point threat.
But Dotson's a better defender and played a tougher schedule.

[TDub]

Of course pdub decides based on blind stats with complete disregard for any sort of context. Have you watched oregon? Have you watched the pac 12?

[Deleted User 289]

I have watched Oregon and I have watched Pritchard put up nice numbers against non Pac 12 teams.
That doesn't mean I feel Pritchard > Dotson but come on man, don't pretend the kid (Pritchard) isn't an outstanding College player. That's just foolish.

[pdub]

Ha.
Yes. The night after we beat Baylor.
Oregon @ Zona. Pritchard scores 38.

Note this:
"But Dotson's a better defender and played a tougher schedule."

[ousdahl]

I’m surprised pdub isn’t fluffing Pritchard more. Dude’s a senior who went to his home state school.

[TDub]

Being force fed oregon i can assure you that Pritchard is absolutely not Devon Dotson

I can't and won't argue against that. Just as I stated I wouldn't say Pritchard > Dotson.
In terms of schedules - Why not take a look at what they did against common opponents? Such as Colorado and Stanford off the top of my head.
What I will add is Jameer Nelson, Andrew Bogut, Jimmer Fredette, and Doug McDermott were all Naismith POTY and obviously outstanding players. They didn't play the most difficult of schedules but people still realized and were able to appreciate how good they were.

I'm going to add one other thing to ponder.
When was the last time anyone on here looked at the list of KU All-Americans and then looked at the other players who were "ranked" below them, and then compared their strength of schedules, and concluded that the KU guy probably wasn't worthy of being "ranked" ahead of the other guy because the KU guy played a softer schedule than he did?

It’s important to remember that Gary Parrish is a goofy moran.

I really felt like Dot was going to put it into 6th gear for the final 9 games of the season, and get his name back in this discussion as well as First Team. The spotlight helps for this. Why Obi will shine. And Luka will be the counter argument.

Great to see Dok on there.
Garza or Toppin probably.

[TDub]

Toppin.

But i do feel dotson was gonna put on a special tourney performance.

Guards in March. We had two of the best.

[NDballer13]

Garza got the nod from ESPN.

Doke and Dot 1st Team AA. Garrett NDPOY.

Feel like we're getting a little "they should have been national champs" make-up love.

[Deleted User 141]

I thought ESPN hated KU?

[Soklous]

The AP is borrowing that hate at the moment.
