I totally agree...... basketball is a team game...... and if you play on a good team (especially a team who wins the big one at Rupp :sssh: ) then you get more hype....... but that doesnt take away from what he has done...... it only validates what he has done because he has done it against the best the state has to offer!

 

I dont think Proffitt playing on a great team should detract from his ability and his on the court accomplishments..... it only proves that if he is good enough to start at SL and excel there then he is most likely good enough to start anywhere in the state and would excel anywhere in the state!

 

If Proffitt and Miller switch, who knows that happens. That argument works both ways..... you could say that Miller doesnt do as much as SL because of the talent level there...... and you could say that Proffitt does way more at M'boro because of the lack of talent there. Or you could reverse it and say Miller stands out at SL because he has more talent surrounding him....... and Proffitt doesnt shine at M'boro because he doesnt have a great supporting crew. It works both ways and I think you cant look at the whole Proffitt vs Miller debate from that perspective.

 

I think you have to look at it like this...... If you had a basketball team, which player do you want leading your team into battle..... Proffitt or Miller?

 

Based on Proffitt's accomplishments and experience on the big stage..... I choose Proffitt. Miller is a great shooter, great ball handler, and great athlete..... but I want a leader who knows how to win, doesnt hurt my team, and plays clutch and the edge goes to Proffitt in those categories.

I totally agree. If I need a leader to take my team into battle, I would take profit because that's what a good point guard does. But I want that great leader getting the ball to my best shooter, and that would be Miller.

It's really two different positions and its hard to compare.... which position does the team need to make it complete.

Gotcha..... where did you get this info????

Don't understand this quote but, Miller has constantly had to get his points with multiple defenders. Thats the problem with being on a weak team. Everybody knows that he is going to take the shot. I have not seen any of bells players, this year, or in the last several years have anyone that every gathered the attention that Miller does. I don't think he is a point guard, even though he handles the ball a lot. He is a shooting guard who is hounded on every shot he takes.

Thoughts?

absolutely great!

I sure hope that college coaches don't get much of their info from message boards.
