Interesting ranking. I would still give it to Royce. I think enough time has passed that people truly forget what type of talent he was. For a program like ours and most college programs, he was a once in a generation talent. I give him the nod simply for what he did in that Kentucky game in nearly pulling off a MASSIVE upset where he outplayed Anthony Davis. That game even in a loss cemented it for me because that night he was the best player on the court even though Davis was hands down the best player in the nation.
And the game before that he clowned Andre Drummond.
never was a big fan of the 1940s Central European hair styles.
I was at that game in person, and I remember being absolutely underwhelmed by Drummond. I know he's gone on to have a pretty nice career in the NBA, but I could not have been less impressed by him in that game.
Oh 100% if I need someone to take the last shot between all of the guys we are talking about I am likely going with Brockington. For me the decider will be the NCAA Tournament. Like I said, even in a loss that Kentucky game for Royce was so damn good, and his 1st Round was great as well. I typically judge on the biggest stage, so let's see what Brockington can do. Hope he does pass Royce in my mind because that means we are likely in the Sweet 16.
So does Grill...he got stepped on and took it like a champ
I did a pretty in depth stat analysis vs MM’s freshman year in the Tyrese Hunter appreciation thread. I figured Monte would be clear cut better #s but it’s really a coin toss with different strengths and weaknesses. I focused on per minute, per possession and advanced since the style of play is so different between the two teams.
My optimistic is for the hair, I think we are dancing
