Percy article on the freshmen

I also always hated how Romar completely broke Pondexter down before building him up again. Pondexter scores 25 in one half vs Arizona. He had holes in his game, but we should have still gotten a lot more out of him. He was pretty useless until the end of his junior year.

I don’t know if I put that on Romar. Good players can have big games, but without experience they lack consistency.
 
Reminds me of Errol Knight going off in his debut then basically never having a big scoring game again.
 
It’s not a comparison. The 2006 recruiting class was incredibly overrated. Hawes was probably the 5th or 6th best night man in the conference. Both Lopez bro’s, Taj Gibson, Ryan Anderson, and Baynes were all better. I’ll get an argument against Baynes, but he punked Hawes every time they played. Hawes could score down low. That was it.

Stewart is going to be way better and could actually be the best out of the guys listed above. McDaniels is oozing potential and will probably be a top 5 pick after the season.

We could be very good. Stewart’s leadership and mindset is huge.

PAC-10 used to have a bunch of quality bigs. You didn’t even mention anyone from the FF UCLA team, Radenovic or Jordan Hill from AZ, Devin Hardin was also on that Cal team with Andersen, and of course Roellaand Shaeftenar[/b] from the Beav!!!

UW had Hawes, Brockman, and Pondexter. But finished fucking 7th since the guards sucked.

Love the freshmen ... But honestly, is Stewart the black Jon brockman or what?

More skilled or less skilled?

That’s a god awful comparison. Stewart is the best big to ever wear a UW uniform better than Hawes, Brockman etc.

If you want a comparison I’d say a more skilled Montrelz Harrell who is a 18 and 10 guy rn for the clippers.

Jon Brockman is a UW legend but he couldn’t hold Isaiah’s jock strap talent wise

Jon Brockman is the perfect college basketball player. 4 year starter, leader, talented, hustler. If he was 6’10” instead of 6’7” he’d have had a solid NBA career. If a guy like that gets one and done talent put around him, you’re gonna have a good time.

What if the 06 team had Martell Webster?

What if IT had qualified in time to play with Hawes?

What could we have done if Terrence Jones came to UW instead of KU?

What if Hop had convinced Daejon Davis to stay with his UW commitment?

A few players here or there and some of our past good teams would have been great. If Hop can keep building up 3-4 year guys like Naz and Thybulle AND get a big time recruit on a regular basis, we could be VERY good.

Agree about Brock btw. Brockman was the perfect college basketball player. He was nowhere near as good as Stewart as a frosh though.

Put freshman Stewart on senior BRoy's team instead of frosh Brockman and that team tears down the nets.

See above tweet for doog context.
 
I thought Upshaw was an amazing center on defense, but Stewart is probably even better because he can defend on the perimeter and isn’t far behind as a shot blocker.

Mmmm not sure I can get behind that. Upshaw was nothing special offensively but that team completely fell apart after he left. I think he was the best defender I ever saw at UW.

Thybulle is the best defender

Upshaw was incredible for that half a season he played for UW... 4.5 blocks plus countless others altered... it was amazing, dude was on track to smash national records...

Such a waste for a guy that won the genetic lottery, all he had to do is just not deal coke and make millions playing a game instead.

For a career Thybulle no doubt.

But Upshaw was more disruptive on a per minute basis than Thybulle IMO.

Can't go wrong with either of them.

I was a big fan of Upshaw. Dominant defensive center. He really was maybe the best shot blocker in many years in college basketball. He has Stewart beat there, although Stewart still blocks and affects a lot of shots. Where Stewart has Upshaw beat is on the perimeter.

It’s a good debate to who was the more dominant defender with Thybulle and Upshaw.
