Duke has 3-4 other first rounders. His team might win the national title. I will be really surprised if he does better than Chet Holmgren in the NBA
That makes leading the team in all 5 statistical categories even more impressive to me. Like, greatest KenPom team of all time and he is far and away the best player on it

He does many things well but he is not exceptional at any thing.

This is a terrible take. You cherry picked one of his worst games of the year.

He had 21, 17, 16, 22, 21, and 21 against Miami, FAU, Vanderbilt, K-State, Missouri, and Texas Tech. I'm sure all those teams have plenty of athletes that can guard him.

A terrible take? Is it? Here is the question in which I was responding.....

Is Bennett Stirtz the best returning PG in the nation. I watched him playing against UNI and I wasn’t terribly impressed. He is good but is he really the best PG in the nation next year?

The......best......PG in the nation doesn't stink it up at home against Murray State and a 6'7" forward. Now, does that make him a bad PG....absolutely not. Just not the best.

I would describe being the best player in the country as a 17 year old pretty exceptional. If you go by player efficiency stats in the last 20 years the only 2 high major freshmen that were as valuable are Zion Williamson and Anthony Davis. Kyrie was there but low sample size. Elite (for all of college ball) usage, shooting efficiency, rebounding, AST %, Steals, foul magnet, free throw shooter…idk man. Just an eye test thing?

I wonder if Iowa fans are happy getting rid of Fran now. They were fixing to have a very solid team next year.

Transfer pg/harding
Dix
Pryce
Koch
Freeman

Plus their young guys that played this year who have all transferred.

And a top 20 recruiting class that have all de committed.

Ouch.
they are happy

He was not 17 year old. He is few months younger than an ordinary freshman. He is all around good player but not exceptional at anything

Who was it on here saying Creighton couldnt throw $ around for their hoops team the same way Indiana does? That is likely in the ballpark of $3M on two transfers.
Have zero clue if this is true but heard it from a Hawk fan but Dix was offered north of 2 million at Indiana and Creighton got him for around 2. Again, doubt will ever know the true number but that’s a heck of a lot of dough.

Ok, so before Hoiberg? impact freshman? Grayer, of course. Fizer. Who else? no particular order.

They were never going to have a solid team next year, coaching matters! They should have replaced Fran after about year 4.
