im not going to debate you. becuase you just have really bad basketball notions...but i love that we get to put our theories to the test!!!! i really hope he gets the waiver
What theories. I've only said he was a trash fire this past year and that's already in the books, it's not changing and that's a fact. He was about horrawful as you can get. I have not once said he couldn't improve.
Infact I said he might get better, but good god lets not pretend he's this 5 star player above reproach after this past year. This is like buying a lambo and after a year it's rusted out beat to hell and smoking and you still claiming it's worth 300k. He has to redeem himself and undo a lot of what he's proven he can't to this point. The fact is that usually doesn't happen if you want me to project out and play the odds.

a few months ago you said only an idiot would take nate hinton over jayden garnder, and stated he wasn't very good, and have called grimes trash non stop since our midseason convo...
Context. I said he wasn't the best freshman in the conference like you were trying to claim mid season when he struggled in the OOC. That was all true, it ridiculous talk at that point. I never said he couldn't get better or had no hope, but his level turnaround from that point on was highly usual .
The logic and methods I used on what was actually happening on a court at that point were all sound in comparison to your blind faith and belief in the church of HS rankings gospel you preach. Many of them are total bust and while nothing is ever going to be right 100% I'll put my record against yours any day of the week knowing your flawed fundamentals looking back to high school opinions crap.
Hinton ended up with fairly productive numbers unlike Grimes. Heck crap on my methods and tools but they end up saying he was pretty solid by the end of the year when he actually put in value that moved it there, and I would move my position accordingly with them. You can only go on the info you have at the time, it captures value where their is value, but he wasn't bringing any when we had our conversation. That's a fact.
I wouldn't trade Gardner for either one of them. He still had better per minute numbers in a crappier ecosystem, with all the pressure on him as a #1 banana focal point of the defense every night. It should be easy to be a role player on Kansas and make open shots and be a positive cog in the wheel which he wasn't.

should be a competitive game LMAO!!!!
and stop it kansas didnt "move on"... Bill Self literally called grimes one of the most skilled guards he has ever coached in his history like 3 months ago, started him over numerous other elite recruits and was a guaranteed starter if he came back.....stop it..
Sure thing. Coaches say a lot of BS. I bet he had a party knowning he didn't have to play him or have any more promises to uphold after that disaster year with the replacement level that is available to him.
