thats where you're wrong.. I can careless about U of M or MSU or college sports in general


TH Jr is avg'ing 10 ppg, 1 reb per game & 1 assist per game this year.

You just said he was "dominating off the bench"

If by "dominating off the bench" you mean has had 2 good games recently than yes, he is dominating off the bench.

Thats pretty good coming off the bench for a rookie

I said "dominating off the bench lately"

I dunno how else I could've been more clear that I've been referring to his game as of late...

KCP is doing ok for a rookie and should improve. It was a solid pick for us.

It is easy to say we should have done something different in the draft. Many, many people on this board thought we should have taken Shabazz.

Hardaway looks like he will be a good, starting SG. He has certainly exceeded expectations. And yes, I'd take him over KCP, but I think with Stuckey leaving next year, KCP will be looking fine with more PT.

And you'd still be wrong. The #'s Bill provided tells the story. 12 ppg .5 apg on 38% is not dominant. Goodness.

If the knicks were willing to give us Hardaway for nothing I still wouldnt want him, and thats coming from a Michigan fan. When his shots falling hes great, but its pretty inconsistent and he keeps shooting it regardless. I dont even think I could count on two hands the number of games I watched him shoot U of M out of during his college career. Not to mention the only thing he has is his shot, he has horrible handles so he cant get to the rack or create for others and hes nothing much on D. So when his shot isnt falling which happens too often, hes pretty much useless.

Basically, hes good from far, but far from good.

They were both coming out of college as shooters,but 1 has shown he can defend at the next level and do it really well.KCP will come around and find the shot he had in college,not to mention he is showing potential at getting to the rim and his handles are better than advertised.Give him time,its not like knight were he had alot of problems to work on and dosent have a stright position,you can see if given time he will get better.

No thanks. I like KCP for his defense alone and if he gets the green light for those pull up jumpers and or PnR jumpers next season, I could see him doing really good on the offensive end like in his college days. The guy just isn't developed enough to be a spot up shooter on those inconsistent minutes, which is what we're doing to him.

I would still take KCP over him. You need defense to win in this league. And KCPs defensive potential is elite and a lot more promising then THJs offensive potential. I'm on a Draft Smart bandwagon for his Defense as well. We could have a elite defensive backcourt in a few years if we draft Smart.

Decent scorer off the bench, and a steal given where he was drafted to be sure. Doesn't provide much else though. I'd rather have KCP, though his poor shooting this season needs to improve.
