According to Da Truth that's who. Just because Flanagan(who seems like a decent man and basketball guy) doesn't have him in his top 10 doesn't make it the absolute truth. That's his opinion and is no more factual than all the other informed opinions out there. People think because it's in the paper or on a website it's factual. It's merely an opinion.
IMO I thought he was maybe the 3rd or 4th best all-around player I saw. All-around meaning scoring, passing and rebounding. Livingston was 1st followed by Wright and then Walker. Brandon Lee could be 3rd but I got the sense that though he played very well, it wasn't his best performance.

My opinion is based only on what I saw on Sunday. I wasn't there on Sat. I didn't see Ellis play since he was MIA Sunday. Pruitt according to one person dominated Patrick Henry on Sat. Well he didn't dominate Robeson on Sunday. I don't even know who Johnathan Peoples is, but look forward to finding out about him. No disrespect intended to the abilities of any of those players. I only write about what I actually see. Not how they "project" in college or what people heard or read about in the paper or on the net. Performance on the court, that you actually see, should be the most important measuring stick of a player.

********Warning sarcasm ahead(LOL)*********

But I don't have a site or appear in any newspaper, so my opinion, like all who write on messageboards is completely meaningless. Why do we continue to waste our time? Let's just sit back and let a few people tell us what to think. You should never form your own opinion and you are absolutely prohibited from expressing that opinion if it goes against what the all-knowing gurus write or what rabid fans believe. Expression of a contrary opiniion is punishable by being stoned to death or far worse, being called (GASP!!) a player hater.

Peace
