I had forgotten what it was like to have a true/legit point guard. Kind of amazing that it's been 10 years since we've had one.

7 years.



Man, forgot how sick the first hyper-elite blacks were.

OMG I feel terrible I had forgotten about Angel.  :frown:

Kam was a better point guard than Angel in literally every way imaginable.

MiR, sorry, you're wrong about this one. angel's as good or better at every advanced stat with a higher usage rate

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/kamau-stokes-1.html

Yep, I saw that and determined that because Kam played with Barry as his other guard and Angel had Will rough ridin' Spradling and Manu Lecompte that Kam was better. I do think Angel is better equipped to have a high usage rate though, he's a poor man's Cartier Diarra. Kam was much more JYC than Angel could ever hope to be.

Kam was honorable mention all-B12 once. Angel was 2nd team and 1st team all defense as a sophomore. Plus Angel was better than Kam in basically everu way.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Complete list of K-State players to make 2nd team Big XII or better by sophomore year:

1. Beasley (1st, Fr.)
2. Foster (2nd, Fr.)
3. Angel (2nd, So.)

Pullen made honorable mention, Walker and McGruder each made 3rd team.
:adios:

Those honorable mention players you just listed have logged way more minutes in the league than Angel. His failed attempt vs La Salle at the end of that comeback is what I’ll remember him for. He was a set shooter and couldn’t create his own shot. People love him because he was attached to Frank for awhile and was lil and saucy and the closest thing we could get to a Denis clone at that time. I don’t hate him, but his best year was due to Weber’s offense and then he left and thrived at Miami.

Also, people forget this, but Kam’s projectory was set to be better than Brown’s before all of his injuries. He took over that North Carolina game. I really wonder where he would have ended up if the injuries didn’t occur.

Which should probably tell you that's a pretty poor metric of how to evaluate him compared to other recent K-State players.

I know that I don't have a statistical leg to stand on, but I do think that it should be accounted for that Angel had to do more. Angel never had to play with players like Brown and Wade, and I don't think he would have been a great fit. Also Kam was a much better defender, I'll never forget how badly Angel got cooked by Brady Heslip.

If throwing lobs to JO is a set shot I agree with this.

Throwing lobs to JO is the far and away the most elite thing he did, maybe the most elite thing anything in a K-State uniform has ever done.

I’m wracking my brain for the manu lecompte reference and it isn’t coming :frown:

He was Angel's 2 guard his junior year at Miami.

And he was no Sheldon McClellan or Davon Reed.

Davon Reed, lol. Did you just look at the roster on the bb ref page and see that Reed played in the NBA? McClellan was a baller, I'll give you that.

Def had to look at the page to know who Manu Lecompte was.  Besides the NBA thing, it showed that McClellan and Reed were the two guards that played the most minutes along with Angel, and that Lecompte was smaller than Angel.  McClellan and Reed were also the 2 and 3 with Angel at the 1 at the 2nd-to-last college basketball game I've ever been to!

There are still never Weber’s on this board that never appreciated The Flush, wade, and our Only active NBA player in the program— Westicles. It’s honestly not that hard to grasp.
