Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2036357, member: 716"] Agree with the last bit - how do they keep these guys? I think they're much more skilled than you give them credit for, though. They've got consistent post moves, they can finish with both hands in a number of different ways (layups, hooks, they can adjust to the defender and use glass), and they can all make the foul line jumper comfortably. I'm so impressed with Taurean Thompson, but they've had half a dozen players this decade with his skill. And for some reason they rebound and defend and stay in college for three or four years to boot. Yeah, it's not really apples and apples. I went in remembering that Meeks and Johnson weren't high-end guys and assumed that Pinson and the rest were similar 3- or 4-star players. Between the difference in recruiting rankings and our sample size, I can't draw too much from that. [/QUOTE]
