LOL I put this out there just for SJ to see it since he claims Adonis is a mediocre player based on one of his obscure stats...

He was lights out against us, of course, this year, that isn't saying much for anybody other than UCF.

Haha. He'll probably save that for the off season. Along with saying this year is proof uab should have kept Mike Davis.

He fell out of the top 10 picks for a game or two but he's probably top 3 after that last game.

Not sure what joke of a site you are looking at but every updated draft board I've seen he's dropped out of the 2nd round to undrafted status even in the worst draft in a decade according to experts.
His PER is 15.7 even after his mini hot streak which means he still has had an entirely average season since 15.0 is the adjusted college average. I don't have to tell anyone that just look at his production this year. The guy isn't even effiencent either despite being surrounded by tons of talent to take the pressure off him. Put him on our team even and he might impact the game like our 3rd or 4th best player, and he's probably not a #1 banana on any top half team in CUSA.
He's got athletic ability and someone in the NBA will take a chance on him but he's certianly not the best player in CUSA this year like you guys hyped him as. His actual productivity rate is #38, he's played a lot of empty minutes this year, but I didn't have to tell you that, you know it which is why you posted this thread at the first sign of life.

28 ppg and 12rpg if Jeff Lebo were coaching him imo.

Nah, he'd sit behind Kemp
18ppg 8rpg, 2.5apg, 2spg, 1bpg on 51%, 75% on the season.

I think you missed all the preseason seriousness from these Memphis fans about how great this guy was going to be even as completely average as he was his first year.

yea, that is the joke. No one actually thinks he is a lottery pick now. They were making fun of the fact we did.

Who is the best player in CUSA this year?
Adonis is now showing his potential, he needs to do it on a consistent basis. NBA talk is just way too premature based on performance, but potential seems to rule the day in those discussions.

RE: Adonis Thomas- FINALLY
This draft is so bad he should still go pro. Someone probably would take a chance on him in the second round and give him a million dollars, but doesn't change the fact not been a very impactful college player.

Clanton probably but I think Kemp is certainly in the conversation.

Kemp wasn't the best player on the court in the two ECU/Memphis games so I doubt he's the best in the league.

RE: Adonis Thomas- FINALLY
Actually Clanton's dropped off since the last time I looked him up. Looking around Tyshawn Thomas and Kemp are really the 2 killing it the most this year.
Funny enough that obscure stat I was pointing too in the summer. Tyshawn was the #1 most productive player per minute returning in CUSA and Kemp was #4 yet they were both back ups last year and most of you guys didn't even really know who they were or did they show up on the all CUSA preseason teams like undeserving players like Thomas. I told you Kemp would be all cusa and once our stupid coaches actually gave them minutes you see what happened.
Watch out next year. If Lebo will actually let Akeem Richmond play next year he will probably lead the nation in 3's and CUSA in scoring.
