[QUOTE="Peacone36, post: 366392, member: 1374"] My decision? I didn’t make a decision, I saw the kid play twice and drew a conclusion as to what to expect. 98% of that conclusion had nothing to do with those games. He’s a freshman, a late bloomer, who is still learning to play, in the ACC. The other 2% is that little bit of a double chicken wing on his jumper sometimes. He tucks that right elbow in and brings that ball a little higher two things are going to happen. Those 8 ft jumpers he missed against UCLA become a lot easier, and that jumper becomes nearly impossible to block. Let me give an example. 4 or 5 years ago we signed a kid ranked around 340 or so. Good athlete, great measurables, good frame (sound familiar?). Some people saw him play early in a scrimmage and reported that he had a really nice foul line jumper that was going to become a weapon, this kid has high upside. That recruit? AD Gueye. You ever seen that jump shot? I haven’t. Is Moses AD? Doubtful. Is he Muhammad Faye? **** I hope not. Is he Kevin Durant? No. Could he be Markis McDuffie? Hmmmmm Prognosticators miss sometimes but they rarely miss so bad that a mid tier three star kid that some of the sharpest guys on this board knew nothing about when we were recruiting him ends up coming out of literally nowhere and leading an ACC program as a freshman. Muhammad Faye. Paco Diaw. Hell people out there were believing Jon Brown was going to contribute as a walk on. This fan base sometimes get caught up in the measurables that they forget about the development and learning. No one hopes he turns out to be Kevin Durant more than me and averages 17 and 10. But the likelihood of that happening is foolishly low. Yes I know no one mentioned Durant. I was speaking in hyperbole. [/QUOTE]
