Yeah, ok, YOU know what I meant more than I did.
I'm sorry that you're not very good at this.
I'm sorry I'm not a damn mind reader when you don't specify what you mean when you say shit like "Hansbrough is calling" in response to the opinion that Luke Maye is merely a hustle type role player.
No one is denying he had a good game last night, I'm very glad he did. It was needed at a crucial juncture, but to say this puts to bed my concerns about him going up against tougher competition or that he's the second coming of Hans? That's ludicrous.

If this thread had started with an OP of:
"Great game by Maye last night- it was great to see him play so well when Carolina needed someone to step up"
instead of
"ENOUGH SAID" (bold was there by OP, not my emphasis)
It probably would have been nothing but nice things. However, when OP came out of the gate bowed up, inevitably chaos followed.

Hi dadika13, SMILE. suggestion, thank GOD for those that chose to wear that CAROLINA BLUE, support them and love them. Again I want to remind you that this is a suggestion. It is our FREE WILL to choose. THANK GOD
!!!!!!!!!!!! GO TAR HEELS !!!!!!!!!!!!
That's the problem, you DID try to act like a mind reader. You tried to conflate my implying that an unathletic and undersized player COULD have a high ceiling with stating the he was the equal of Hans in talent, when nothing in my post even remotely implied that.
Obviously he's going to struggle against supremely gifted and taller opponents. But he's not the scrub most make him out to be, and he puts forth more effort than some of those more "gifted" players.
You're going to beat that horse not just after it's dead, but after they put it 6 feet under
Reading comprehension dude, you are brutal! Agree w/everything TFKAPS said in the post after yours. Out
Especially not when you can't comprehend that he wasn't comparing Luke & Hans as players, but their player type......then insist that he was comparing them. Ok, now I'm out.
So if he's not comparing them, what is the point of even bringing Hansbrough up? Because they have similar size and skin color? That's like me comparing Westbrook to Woods because of their "athleticism" and "fearlessness".
I swear, some of you would have a great career in PR & Damage Control. The levels of backtracking and defenses for this ridiculousness is well beyond the normal limits.

Unathletic is a relative term. Hansbrough was called unathletic compared to NBA lottery draft picks. Maye would be called unathletic compared to starting 4s and 5s for top tier P5 teams. However Maye is more athletic than any 4 or 5 on Davidson.
You are the one who brought up Hansbrough with very little explanation. Seems a bit much to get aggressive with people who made a response that misunderstood your unstated point but which was otherwise completely in line.
Sadly, Mikey, closely-held narratives are hard to dislodge... no matter how false they may be.
The irony of this poast is unparalleled in the history of the interwebs
You people use "reading comprehension" a lot. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Larry Bird was a 6'9" SF, that is in no way undersized.
I balked at the Hans and Bird comparisons in this thread, but you've elevated Luke to all new heights with this poast Billy

LMAO, Joe . .
Well played, sir . .
So the 250th ranked player in the class being called a "Jamison clone" isnt even just a little ridiculous to you?
Jamison clone are your words, not his. He never said that, as he alluded to in an earlier post in this thread.
I said Luke played a great game.. there is no "narrative" here. If youre expecting me or others to say Luke is an amazing stretch four who will lead us to the promised land , then no. If Im proven wrong on that I will be the first one here to say Im wrong. But I still hold that he shouldnt be getting major burn against big time competition.
Yes, he did, and hes said it a bunch of times.. as well as insisting Manley will be a 5 star come next summer.
I'm not expecting a damned thing. I replied to Mike's post, not yours. But since you brought it up, I imagine Luke will continue to get significant minutes vs any and all competition, as he should. And yeah, you do have a narrative --- a pretty persistent one, in fact --- that anyone who doesn't come to UNC with big * ratings can't play against "big time competition".
False. You responded to mine after I laughed at you. Now youre just talking out of your ass again making assumptions about what my "narrative" may or may not be. No, I think based on what Ive seen that Kenny can, and he wasnt highly rated, so there goes your make believe assumption.
No assumptions here, just the ability to read.
And seriously? You just questioned Kenny's abilities a few days ago
......but hey, ok, glad to see you've come around.

Negative, said some of his moves were Jamison like, and suggested he could become a 5*, never insisted, as you say. I'm going to agree to disagree on this, hope you can but I have my doubts.

I did question wether Kenny would contribute meaningfully at this level based on last year. Hes proven to be serviceable. I do have the ability to maintain a flexible viewpoint.
Off topic but I just cant get used to grown men using hashtags before words. The dumbing down of America has indeed been a success.
And therein lies the difference. No use in arguing with these people BB you should know that by now.
A UNC caliber player to me means the best player we can get. That may be a Harrison Barnes or it may be a Kenny Williams. Either way is fine by me. They wear the same uniform and as long as they are good citizens I'll take 'em. I'd prefer the ones that are ranked in the top 40 or so but that is not the determining factor as to whether or not I will show them the respect they deserve for representing UNC.
Sure but let's not go insulting Hansbrough, one of the all time greats, by comparing him with a guy who would back up both Chris Brust and Kris Lang
