Zuby or Joel or Cliff or whoever

All well and good; still not sure how it remotely relates to my post which was comparing the two as players, had absolutely nothing to do with their relative worth to their teams.

You don’t see how one player could be an better option for one team and another player a better option for a different team?
 
This is an insane discussion. No coach in the country would take a freshman Sommerville over a 5th year Cliff O. Literally zero.

Panther you are biased and defending your friend’s son. That’s admirable. He’s a big, skilled kid with promising future. Kind of reminds me of Lamont Hamilton.

The Rutgers front court is a weakness this year. They have only played Wagner, St. Peter’s, Monmouth, and Merrimack so far.

Give me an f’ing break, of course I can. Can’t you understand that is not remotely what I was talking about? I couldn’t care less about their relative worth to their teams because I was comparing them as players, not their roles on their teams. I believe I said that pretty clearly in my post to you, maybe you ought to read what you are replying to before you type.

I am totally biased but I also understand the needs of certain teams. Many coaches would take a promising freshman over Cliff. Alabama with all of the pieces took him as a one year rental. He is averaging 19 minutes a game. Rutgers chose Lathan as they attempt to build their program. Many other schools would do the same. Cliff never was and never will be the focal point of any team. Lathan has a chance to become the anchor of Rutgers program.

😂 Have a good Thursday man

Logan - “No doubt in my mind , Omuyuri is a really good athlete playing basketball, while early in his career, Sommerville by all indications is a really good basketball player”

Bamafan - “Cliff giving Bama the rim protection they need. They go 11 deep and have 4 McDonald’s AA off the bench because most are frosh and they have a plethora of 5th year seniors.”

You said you weren’t sure what his point was. So I offered a thought, on a message board.

I’m terrible fuxking sorry that I interpreted it as you saying Somerville is the better basketball player right now. And that Bamafan, A Bama fan, was saying that for Alabama, the less skilled, more defensive oriented Cliff, is what Alabama is better off with.

Talk about timing, Rutgers plays Alabama the night before Thanksgiving.
 
Guys can we just cut the crap?

Joel came so far in his time here, it's silly. He had only moderate success at a mid major, came here and worked on every aspect of his game and body. He got down to 7 or 8% body fat, and developed into Big East level player at both ends of the floor. And in process developed into a leader in all ways, especially taking younger players under his wing.

Zuby is a different physical specimen. He has speed and agility and hops. As a junior, still tons of room for improvement, and still developing as an awesome person.

There is a reason Rick made each of them captains. At this level, Rick knows you grow into those shoes.

I learned a long time ago that whenever you compare your weaknesses to other people's strengths, you will lose every time. Makes sense, right? Then why do that to two very nice kids who are two very different athletes?

Which kid would I want on my team? Either or both.
 
What could end up being a big difference between Soriano and Zuby is Soriano was a better player in his junior year then he was in his senior year and showed no improvement from the beginning of his senior year to its end. In fact he probably regressed during that year.
On the other hand Zuby appears to show signs of getting better and may be an improved player when Feb comes around.
