Beleive it or not. Yesefu put up bigger scoring numbers at drake than Kyle Lowry ever did at Villanova

Lowrys nba success was a huge surprise. In college he was a short stocky athletic guard who averaged 11pts a game his best season lol

Doubling down on Yesufu eventually being Kyle Lowry.
Re: Welcome Bobby Pettiford Jr
I wasn't trying to assign fault necessarily
I was just commenting on the fact that it's an anomaly for two doods (3 if you count Zach) sticking around for 2 years yet still exhibiting no development.
Most of the time, players look better as sophomores than they did as freshmen, injuries and external factors notwithstanding.
Except for those 3, and I guess Wayne Selden?

I was speaking to randy's "Bill neutered Yesufu" comment.

Re: Welcome Bobby Pettiford Jr
In no way did I do that. Just saying that similarities were there.
Its no different than all the Bobby pettiford/frank Mason comparisons we were hearing 2 years ago. Things don't always pan out though. Even Bill self was wrong about pettiford
Re: Welcome Bobby Pettiford Jr
Was Bill actually wrong about Pettiford or does Pettiford think Bill was wrong about him? He might actually have taken a leap forward over the summer (stranger things have happened) despite how he looked late this season. It will be interesting to see where he ends up and how he performs there.
Re: Welcome Bobby Pettiford Jr
This is all a fairly obvious logical error (not recognizing things like Lowry and Mason for being what they are: exceptions that prove rules).randylahey wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:51 amIn no way did I do that. Just saying that similarities were there.

Bill has done that to himself, obviously, by being something of an exception factory.

Re: Welcome Bobby Pettiford Jr
Or maybe it shows just how small of a margin there is at that level between being good and being great. To be great a lot of things need to work out for you
