Considering the extremes that fans of professional basketball have reached when it comes to white guys (I have even fell victim to it), here is pretty funny (and sad) article from Awful Announcing.  It really illustrates the absurdity of it all, and it's funny to pull back the scope a little bit and see how dumb it really looks:

Sam Dekker is every white guy who has ever played in the NBA

Sam Dekker is a white guy.

If you watched the NBA Draft on Wednesday night, or any Wisconsin basketball game over the past few years, you already know this.

But you’d also know it by the player comparisons to Dekker.  As friend of AA Paul Pabst likes to always note, there’s a funny quirk when it comes to scouting reports and player comparisons where white guys always get compared to other white guys, no matter how similar or dissimilar their games might actually be.  This hypothesis manifested itself when ESPN’s Jalen Rose dusted off the Wally Szczerbiak tape from out of nowhere as Dekker’s NBA doppelganger.  Even Kyle Lowry of the Raptors joked that Rose was just comparing players who looked alike.

Naturally, it wasn’t just Sczerbiak who was compared to Dekker on draft day.  No, no, no, no.  In fact, you can make the case that Sam Dekker is basically every white guy who has ever laced it up in the association….

Jalen's comparisons were just laughable last night. Kyle Lowry had it right...Jalen was just picking guys who looked like the player selected.

Dark skinned guys are compared to other dark skinned guys.

Light skinned compared to light skinned 

White to white, etc.

My favorite comparisons are, "...he is like a more/less athletic version of..."...

...so what you're saying is that he is, in fact, not comparable...

      Heels let another team go up 20 on them but this time they complete the comeback. HD never seems to have his team ready but he makes great halftime adjustments. Powell played the majority of the second half and his defense was the difference along with his big three pointer to give the Heels the lead for good. Trimble and Davis were also spectacular. Carolina can’t let Auburn get out to a 20 point lead though, they won’t be able to come back from that.

      I don't think there is much of a chance we go wr in the first round.  If Young continues to play fairly well, our choice will likely dl, lb, or maybe a slight chance at ol.
