Come on. You can spin anything to fit the I Hate DP narrative but why compare kids who play completely different competition in an effort to make a player on YOUR team look worse? Bringing up Toppin in this debate is like bringing up Hitler in any debate. Completely false equivalency ti make a splashy point. And, once again, I WATCH Toppin play.
You said Young is probably better than XJ. Jim pointed out that competition matters when judging stats. You said he's wrong. He's not. Honestly reply with how many times you've watched Young play, and what precisely you saw that made you confident that this was a swing and a miss by DP.
Look, I've been flirting with your level of DP criticism, but this type of equivalency just doesn't advance your point. If you're not actively comparing talent, rather than reading box scores and articles, admit your desire to see DP go away is clouding your assessment.
Great post, honestly. But your point about worse competition is just lazy. Ja Morant, Steph Curry, Obi Toppin, Kawaii Leonard just to name a few played shit competition. I am not calling Young any of those but it is just a lazy take coming from someone with an opposite agenda of mine. If he is going to be lazy so am I in retort.
My sources in org tell me that Daddy isn't very good and I hope they are wrong. They were also the first to tell me about JDS being completely lost which seems to have been right.
I have watched 3 Charlotte games. Wake Forest, Davidson and the second ODU game. Gonna put him on the television tonight vs UNT (who played vcu, URI and Dayton decently close if I am correct). I also watch Chase Paar who was according to our resident insiders (told no by Mason because of Oduro). I happen to think he is a lot better than Oduro but I guess that one we can see because they will play 4 years in the same conference against each other. Game 1 out of 8 certain games goes to Parr so far.
XJ is a nice young player and you will not find anything on this boards from me saying otherwise. But I can still think Young is better. I don't see the problem in that. And I guess we can never tell because Young plays weaker competition on a pretty similar team to Mason.
What I like about Young: Dude doesn't shoot 3's with a gigantic hitch that looks unfixable, dude is a junk yard dog aggression wise (so is XJ), he plays better defense than XJ (hopefully that changes) and he is a shoot first guard that could be a help to a team that seems to have no offensive identity when Javon or AJ aren't taking over the game. I can't help that I like Young. I wanted Mason to sign him since the day I started watching his mixtapes
I do want Paulsen gone. I don't think for a second that is a hidden agenda.
TLDR I like Young and wanted him on the squad. Doesn't have to be over XJ because they play completely different basketball.
