I always wondered why the Charlotte posters would get worked up over the things SJ would say, but after years of ignoring his posts I finally see the sheer lunacy of his thought process. To compare Richmond against Jordan, Curry, Durant in anything basketball related is absurd and shows how out of reality he really is. I wonder why I dont see websites , hell even ECU websites, with screaming headlines, stating "Richmond better than Durant!". I am pretty sure ESPN would jump all over that and I can imagine twitter would explode. I have seen some ridiculous things on message boards over the years and that ranks as top 5 easy.
According to this website (
http://hoopsnerd.com/?p=154) Vince Hunter is the 7th best freshman in the country. He is allegedly better than Wiggins and better than Gordon, but you never see Sportscenter mention Hunter. I would come off as a total clown spewing that information as factual. Basketball is a game of many intangibles not just stats, plus I value Floyds basketball IQ about a billion times move relevant than SJs so called facts.
Floyd and many others say Washburn is a good defensive player, so nothing else needs to be said, quod erat demonstrandum.
Washburn is a hell of a player and will play in the NBA if his shooting continues to improve. He is much better compared to years past. Richmond probably will play in the NBA, but to be considered even close to Durant level, he would need to learn to play defense, grow about 8 inches and most importantly help his team win, not his stat line. A great player helps his team win games, that is what Washburn does, albeit I am not ready to call him great.
