January 28, 200719 yr Legendary? Is that what passes for lengendary at Duke? I'll tell you what legendary is.... How about averaging 44 points a game for three years. How about holding the NCAA scoring title for over thirty years (without a freshman year or the three point shot). McRoberts sounds like a fine young man that is also a fine player but I wouldn't use the word "legendary". That's what I'm talking about!!! :ylsuper: "Pistol" is the man!
January 28, 200719 yr Author Overrated. WAY Overrated... You do know that NO other Duke player in history can compare with his statline right...he may be not be a legend but he IS the most balanced player in Duke history at this point.

January 28, 200719 yr McRoberts is a good player. There are a lot of players better than him in America, but every team in America would love to have him.
January 28, 200719 yr You do know that NO other Duke player in history can compare with his statline right...he may be not be a legend but he IS the most balanced player in Duke history at this point. Thats pretty sad, because his statline isn't that impressive.. Other than to you I suppose.

Thank you! Can someone please change the thread title to "McRoberts...most balanced player in Duke history at this point" ?
January 28, 200719 yr Fine with me..... As long as it doesn't read like a guy who is "legendary"... .......
January 28, 200719 yr Author Thats pretty sad, because his statline isn't that impressive.. Other than to you I suppose. I guess you may not be impressed, how about the fact that his statline is overall, better than anyone on UK's roster.
January 28, 200719 yr I guess you may not be impressed, how about the fact that his statline is overall, better than anyone on UK's roster. McRoberts is a very versatile player. Hes a good athlete and he plays hard. Hes no Elton Brand, Grant Hill, Christian Laettner, Shane Battier, etc though.
January 28, 200719 yr Some food for thought: McRoberts 07 12.8 pts 8.0 rbs 4.0 ast 2.3 blk 1.2 stl Hayes 04 10.7 pts 8.1 rbs 3.0 ast 1.4 blk 1.3 stl Hayes 05 10.9 pts 7.7 rbs 2.3 ast 1.0 blk 1.8 stl Statistically Chuck Hayes was very close to what McRoberts is doing this year his last two years at UK. While I loved Chuck, because of the way he played with heart, IMO, he is far from legendary when thinking back about those who have worn the UK uniform. McRoberts was rated the #2 player overall in his class by Rivals. Chuck Hayes wasn't nearly so highly thought of, yet his stats look pretty good compared to the Legend.
January 28, 200719 yr Author Those are aloso Chuck's last two years, and the stats aren't as good, close, but not the same.
January 28, 200719 yr My point is the a player like Chuck Hayes was able to average numbers that are pretty close to a 5-star center. Either Chuck played well above his ability or McRoberts isn't quite legendary. I just used Chuck because it was the 1st person I thought of that would probably be close in comparrison to McRoberts.
January 28, 200719 yr Author Here's your difference...Chucky Hayes, as a SOPHOMORE, averaged 8.6 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 2.3 apg, 1 block, and 1.1 spg
