Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 5201381, member: 722"] Going into the season parallels between those two teams are pretty significant. Elite shooter who doesn't do much else, highly recruited shooting guard who hasn't quite lived up to his rankings, a journeyman point guard replacing a star... A major difference is that the 2000 team had Billy Celuck and a freshman Jeremy McNeil at center, and we've yet to see if freshman Freeman can do anything like senior Damone Brown's 16 and 9. If he does, this season will be A-OK Edit: Chris Bell is actually a very interesting parallel to Preston Shumpert. Shumpert only played 20 minutes a game his sophomore year, and few could have predicted he would blow up for 19 per game, averaging 9 attempts per game inside the arc after previously being a three point specialist. His development of an inside the arc post game really made the combination of Brown/Shumpert a deadly offensive duo. [/QUOTE]
