All you have to say is "I wouldn't take any other PG over Craft for this team, but he's not the best PG in the country. There is no debate."

No but in all seriousness, if OSU had Burke coming off the bench he wouldn't be putting up 1.8 ppg. He'd be somewhere in the 6-8 ppg and getting more than 8 mpg. You don't just let talent rot on the bench. Hell Thomas Robinson was behind the Morrii twins, and he was able to get more than 1.8 ppg.

SportsAndLady;1068887 wrote:"ASSUMING he'd get more time based on his success at tsun" uhhh no, i'm assuming he'd get more time because he's a pretty good player. And you don't give pretty good players 8 minutes a game. ?

Just because you're a highly ranked recruit doesn't mean you're worth a damn. Gotta prove it.

You're really gonna say they're good players? Good players don't get <10 mpg. Now, if you say they are going to be good players, just aren't ready yet; I could agree to that. But come on, this isn't the 70s. Good players play, no matter what year they are.

SportsAndLady;1068910 wrote:Lol well waht do you expect him to say?? "Matta ****ed up, should have gotten Burke so he could backup Craft instead of Scott"? lulz

SportsAndLady;1068508 wrote:Yeahhhhh, but that's like me saying Withey is a viable C, so I wouldn't want Jared Sullinger.

It's a cop out...Clearly Matta missed on Burke's evaluation and I'd say even on Scott's evaluation and would take Burke looking back at it..you can have 3 viable PGs on a team you know lol

centralbucksfan;1068913 wrote:It all depends on the situation u are in. You think Williams is going to play major minutes with Sullinger? You think Ross is going to take minutes from Buford? Or Scott from Craft? Nada. No shit sherlock, they may not be ready, but again, if they were in situation like Burke is, they would be playing. As I said, if Morris hadn't left UM, Burke would be getting few minutes there. He walked into the right situation for him.

centralbucksfan;1068913 wrote:Shelby sucked...but Self played him? I agree, he didn't live up to the billing. But I think that had more to do with what was above his shoulders. Not his ability.

SportsAndLady;1068918 wrote:Again, you're making excuses for Scott. I already mentioned Thomas Robinson last year playing behind 2 all americans and lottery picks. But he still received PT. Point is, you make minutes for good players, even if they're behind studs. It's not like Buford and Craft are THATTTTT good where they should get NO time on the bench.


It's Selby. And yes Self played him, he's not dumb--you wouldn't get another top recruit if you sat him on the bench all year lol
