Jason kings ESPN college basketball chat

[Cusefan0307]

Have not seen this on the board yet today, but he states that we do not have any first round draft picks on our team. Has anyone on ESPN watched us objectively or done any good analytical research. Nbadraft.net has fab, dion, and krisjo all projected as first rounders after this year. I have seen them projected on other sites as well. I am getting sick of the no go to guy comment as well, as I have seen dion, kris, bt, and scoop all single handedly pull games out down the stretch for us this year. I get that we may not have 8 McDonald's all Americans, but if only McDonald's all americans made the nba we wouldn't have Jeremy Lin on the Knicks right now. Also we beat louisville by last night at the yum center. He goes on in his chat to say this Kentucky team may be as good as the 09 Carolina team. They barely beat vandy on Saturday, and I am pretty sure they had a close game with Louisville at home. Kentucky if anything is even with us. Oh and I get we're not duke, or Carolina, but just a hint ESPN, boeheim has had more tourney success than Calipari. Also Syracuse has won a championship more recently than Kentucky. Man I hope we win it all this year just to shove it in everyone else's faces. And of course I am saying this as jimmy dykes is giving us props for being in first class with Kentucky. Man I hate ranting, but ESPN is terrible!

He also said Syracuse would only score 55 points if Syracuse faced UK in the championship.

There is no doubt we have first round picks on this team.

Fab and Dion are locks.
Kris is on the fringe.
MCW will be.
Rak has a shot.
Fair has a shot (Rak has a better chance though)

As long as UK scored 54 that's fine with me...

Okay, now that's absurd. Dion and Fab could both wind up in the lottery depending on when they go pro, and will be late 1st round at worst.

It's getting very ridiculous, they are grasping at straws. I know you hate those Gottlieb threads, but it's gotten out of hand this year especially. These guys are a bunch of idiots.

I havent gotten annoyed at the analysts as much as you guys have but this statement is just pure stupidity. Either Jason King is actually stupid or hes lazy and doesnt do basic research. Dion and Fab are basically first round locks and Kris is a borderline first round pick. This is as stupid as saying the Giants are good but they dont have a Quarterback.

 

[cytolliver]

jason king doesnt watch the big east. Hes a midwest kansas kentucky guy, they need more of those.

 

[weedsportwarriors]

It is absurd. I actually asked him a question myself. Here is my question and response from him.

"

Cliff H. (Land O Lakes, FL)​

Why does it seem that no one gives Syracuse props for being where they are. It seems many at ESPN only can talk about how they have not played anyone on the road. When they do and win, all anyone can talk about is their weaknesses. Tell me one other program that could shoot 1 for 29 outside of the paint and still win.

They're ranked No. 2 in America, so they're definitely getting their well-deserved props. I can't recall anyone at ESPN dissing them."

I thought his response was funny. He can't recall anyone at ESPN dissing Syracuse. REALLY. I guess he doesn't listen to Digger, Gotleib or Davis. Just because we are ranked #2 doesn't mean we are getting our deserved props. The reason we are # 2 is because of our record not because those idiots are giving us props.

I also posted another response to his question on SU not having any NBA players as well, but that one never got posted. In a nutshell I was asking (stating) the same thing Cusefan0307 has stated in this link.

The more I listen to these fools the more I realize how much I want SU to face Kentucky in the finals. Only 55 points, WOW. Syracuse would run all day with Kentucky. I definitely think it would be a taco night.

guy is a tool and Gottliebs lover

We are 26-1, first place in the Big East and #2 in the Country...with almost a lock on a #1 seed. That's all that matters.
