Title: The JuIian Wright - "Gay ku player" filter is dumb.
Post by: michigancat on February 26, 2007, 09:35:11 PM

I'm just guessing...I sent him the link to fatty's post on RSCI top 100 players in the Big XII.  He was so impressed that he read the info on the air.  I realized after the fact that "Gay ku player" was on the list...That type of thing scares of big-time media types.

And no, I don't have a better, funnier filter in mind.

Walker wipes his ass with Julian Wright. If you look close enough, you can see where he actually left some crap stains in Julian's goatee.

Yep, completely normal hobby.  Every time I go bowling, I always have a hard time getting on a lane because the bowling alley is always so full of 6'9" black guys.

Not like this thread and behavior doesnt make us all look bad, but how does critiquing a young mans clothing not fall in the category of "gay"?

Uhm, if you say so. So do you have a problem with gay people or what??

Julian will amount to nothing in the NBA. Walker will amount to much more than Wright and will bring much more to K-State than Wright has to ku.

And my stance on Walker >>> Wright is completely true.

I never said Julian is better than Walker, but he has been a projected lottery pick since he was in highschool and stock has only gone up.  To dispute that fact makes us look uninformed.  ku has good players.  They have before and will in the future.  That doesnt change what we are doing here.

I've always argued against the whole gay thing. But it really is no use here. That is why I just offered an alternative. You're just being a douche. And you know it.

Walker is rated higher than Julian was. And he would be even higher than his current ranking right now if he hadn't torn his ACL. All Julian has shown is that he can pass well. He has a poor jumpshot and plays ok defense. Walker is turning into a good perimeter shooter and has an amazing ability of creating his own shot. Not to mention he plays really good defense. Walker will amount to much much more than Wright will in the NBA. And Walker more than likely will bring more than a first round exit from the NCAA Tourney in his first year.

I was using Rivals rankings. Where Walker is currently ranked seventh. Was ranked second. And Wright ended being ranked eighth. I'm sure that you searched as long as you could to find some rankings where Walker was ranked lower than Wright but I'm using the one that is most commonly used by media outlets. Thanks for playing.

That makes it even less reliable. ESPN does rankings and misses entirely on prospects all of the time. They recently put out football rankings and didn't even mention Lamark Brown. So if they compile rankings from several different sites, that means that they have all of the bullcrap from sites like ESPN that don't do very good research. I'm sorry for deciding to take the most recognized name in recruiting information and use that one.

Thanks again for showing even more ignorance and using a football example.  Rivals probably is recognized as the best in football.  That is not the case in basketball.  Check around.  Read the site to find out what they use.  Ask some people who they think the best basketball recruiting service is.  I'm sure when you get all your recruiting info from Kietz and Fitz, then you think Rivals is the end all/be all.  It really isn't close to being the case.

Rivals is constantly mentioned as having Beasley as the number 1 recruit in basketball. I see Rivals mentioned in papers like the Star and the Eagle much more often than I read about Scout or RSCI. My example just shows that sites &@#% up and don't do very good research. Regardless of which sport. That is why compiling them all together wouldn't be such a good idea. And although I don't like Fitz and Co all that much, they have been WAY ahead of the curve than the Scout site has been on recruiting information.

Had you said that the 2007 class was better than the 2005 class, then you might have had an argument..  But you said Rivals is better than RSCI and even your fellow KSU fan shot you down.

I tend to think that the 2007 class is deeper than the 2005 class.  We'll find out how much better soon enough.  But the difference isn't that great.  Tyler Hansbrough and Kevin Love are very similar type players.  Love is #3 in 2007 and Hansbrough was #4.

You are welcome to that opinion, but it's certainly not a consensus opinion held by people in college basketball and NBA circles. 

Honestly, both guys need to improve quite a bit to be impact NBA guys.  Wright has better size and has a very unique skill set that will help him do that.  Walker is an excellent athlete that has been a good scorer, he's going to need to improve his ballhandling and develop a consistent outside shot to be a good NBA player though.

He's definitely got his shot almost down. That is one of the things he has been practicing during his injury and I have personally witnessed how well it is coming along. I cannot speak for his ballhandling. Walker also appears to be very good at creating his own shot and he plays good defense for someone so young.

I think Wright definitely needs to work on his shot a lot more before he can amount to anything in the NBA.

Your splitting hairs with the gay issue and you know it.

I never said Julian is better than Walker, but he has been a projected lottery pick since he was in highschool and stock has only gone up.  To dispute that fact makes us look uninformed.  ku has good players.  They have before and will in the future.  That doesnt change what we are doing here.
I've always argued against the whole gay thing. But it really is no use here. That is why I just offered an alternative. You're just being a douche. And you know it.

Walker is rated higher than Julian was. And he would be even higher than his current ranking right now if he hadn't torn his ACL. All Julian has shown is that he can pass well. He has a poor jumpshot and plays ok defense. Walker is turning into a good perimeter shooter and has an amazing ability of creating his own shot. Not to mention he plays really good defense. Walker will amount to much much more than Wright will in the NBA. And Walker more than likely will bring more than a first round exit from the NCAA Tourney in his first year.




umm you have to make the tournament before you can lose in it smart one
