Maybe a little history will help you. Perhaps you're not old enough or informed well enough to know how the staff bet the farm and then some on Kenny Anderson, supposedly putting Bobby Hurley on the back burner. With Anderson, we very well could have won the whole thing that year. Sorry but the Green recruitment was nothing compared to the effort that went into Anderson. Not close. We  also went whole hog after Stephon Marbury, although our chances of getting him were never good. Also, JB and company went all in on Julius Hodge to where Warrick was put on the back burner until Hodge announced for NC State and also on Donyell Marshall who went to UConn, turning down a number of other forwards. Green isn't even in the same book as any of those guys.

The thing with freshman, no matter how highly they're touted is you never know what you have until they actually step on the floor in October. Judging from his early performances at Kentucky, where he had much better players around him than we had, he still took second fiddle to Gilgeous-Alexander. If he'd been all that great he would have made more of an impact. Seems like you're pumping up Green way beyond what he actually is, which is a nice, smallish guard but that's kinda it. There are lots of guys around just like him. The Frank that showed up last fall wasn't the Frank of his sophomore year. Sorry but I call Frank b.s. again.
