Projecting Brandon Knight's rookie production

He could do a lot worse than studying early Isiah, that’s for sure.

waulie is right that currently, by ability, he would be the #5 guard (and that’s assuming T-Mac doesn’t come back AND that Terrico White either doesn’t sign with Detroit or isn’t better than Knight).

But waulie, assuming Knight is the #5 guard, how does a #5 guard get 12 minutes a game? Last year, Stuckey averaged 31 minutes, Rip 27.2, Bynum 18.4, and Gordon 26. That adds up to 102.6 minutes a game for guards. I know that these don’t constitute “an average game’s stats” because they include games where guys were starting when they normall wouldn’t because of injuries and suspensions. It’s also not counting T-Mac’s 23.4 minutes a game.

But where is Knight getting his minutes from? OK, Bynum probably won’t average 18 minutes a game, but I would think Stuckey, Rip, and Gordon (if they are all on the team) would play at least as many minutes as they did last year.

So Knight probably has to get his minutes from Bynum. And again, what about poor Terrico?

I have no clue what kind of supporting role Knight had on his team but I know a number of Kentucky fans seemed to think he had to do it all on his own which is what resulted in all the forced shots, etc.

That said, Stuckey was in the exact same boat at Eastern Washington. He was a top tier D1 prospect who didn’t have the grades to get into a top tier D1 school. That resulted in him being head and shoulders above the rest of his team at EWU and ultimately resulted in him taking a lot more shots than he needed to. Of course, Stuckey still hasn’t quite grown out of this…

In a thread of over 600 comments, this one apparently got flagged for being inappropriate more times than any other post in the history of BlessYouBoys. Even better, supposedly people were SUPER pissed about it but because the Admins/Mods deleted the post, there is no evidence that anyone was actually pissed.

The best part was that the entire overflow thread also got deleted simply because people were discussing the fact that he got banned. I’m not sure how 1) people could be so pissed off aobut this especially considering he did it once, and in jest…2) how it would be considered inappropriate (off-topic sure…but isn’t 90% of baseball radio commentary more or less not related to the game being played because of how much down time there is?) and 3) that it caused so much angst among the community that they felt the need not only to delete the post but an entire overflow thread simply for mentioning the post.

Because Nancy is just as bad as Casey, perhaps worse.

I saw it as manslaughter, not murder. Negligence is obvious here, but intent, too difficult to prove. But that didn’t stop the prosecution from seeking capital murder and the death penalty.

Let’s see, I live in Vegas and LA, have a business in South Florida, spend a lot of time in Houston. It’s a tossup which average local (between Vegas, Broward Co and Houston) is dumbest. My vote is for Vegas, but before you go off indicting the jury, do read this by Jeffrey Toobin.

Prosecutors, like what Ms. Grace used to be, are only interested in getting the win, and seek punishment way too often before justice. Moreover, the system is frequently stacked in their favor, where prosecutorial misconduct is frequently covered up by judges and law enforcement officials alike, after all, almost all criminal courts judges are former prosecutors.

If you want justice for Caylee, you file the correct charges, and don’t file for something you know you can’t prove, let alone beyond a reasonable doubt.. It’s really that simple. In the end, everyone may have gotten the verdict they deserved.

fortunately, Dan Dresden’s facebook status updates got me through it.
