PJ or Rodney ?

[WOW!!]

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously.....you're trying as hard as you can to make a point about PJ and you're so wrong it's comical.  AND you can't even answer the one question that I've asked you 7 times now....what does any of this have to do with the OP?  It's all about your agenda against PJ and UNC and it makes you look really, really dumb.  

 

 

Plain and simple their was a reason PJ didn't start until half way thru his 2nd season at UNC. And it had nothing to do with talent or some Freshman not expected to play BS that you made up.

 

How many times did we hear the question "why isn't PJ starting" his 2nd year.

[WOW!!]

Marvin Williams came off the bench I thought.

And a lot of those guys were forced into starting roles because of mass defections to the NBA.

It is no secret that Roy likes to start guys with more experience and force freshmen to earn their way into the rotation

But I also think it is an overstatement to say they aren't expected to be key contributors. I guess that comes down to how you define a "key contributor"

 

 

Thank You!!!

 

You can't blame PJ's lack of contribution (his Freshman year) and him having a hard time to crack the starting line up (his 2nd year) on some outdated UNC belief.

 

Either it took time for PJ to earn Roy's trust or Roy doesn't know how to use his talent??

 

Since the 1 and done rule. No program can have constant success  without getting contribution from your Freshman class.

Not saying Hood cost Duke the game tonight but if he doesn't try to yam that ball hard (allowing Christmas to slide over and get a hand on the ball) and instead just scoop it up real quick into the basket, Duke goes up one with 12 seconds left and hold on if they are able to stop Syracuse from scoring.

 

As for Hood's defense, he got destroyed by C.J. Fair when Parker had to go out because of foul trouble and the man he was playing for most of the game (Trevor Cooney) actually had as many points as Hood.

It is very simple and plain....there were upperclassmen in front of him. That's it.

My point is that PJ wasn't expected to come in and be a starter as a freshman. He got the minutes he got, which were comparable to JMM's minutes who was also a freshman, because there were upperclassmen in front of him. Therefore, he wasn't expected to come in and be a key contributor.

This WOW guy is trying to make it out like Roy didn't trust PJ and that's the reason why he got the minutes he did his freshman year and then use that thought to justify why Hood played more minutes as a freshman than PJ and somehow make that into the reason why Hood is the better player. He's completely ignoring the fact that UNC had upperclassmen in front of PJ AND the fact that Hood went to freaking Mississippi State.

Not to mention he is completely incapable of telling us how this has any relevance in determining which player is better for the Hornets

I'm not sure who's the bigger idiot....him for his making such a ridiculous claim that's obviously aimed at trolling on UNC, or me for replying to his poo 15 times. It's got to at least be a tie.

"Not to many Freshman go to Chapel Hill and are expected to Contribute"

I name 10 players that did contribute as freshman and at

least 6 were expected to.

JMM was the 6th man his freshman year.

Henson was getting 16.0 min. before Davis went down.

I can keep going but in the end You said this

"Not to many Freshman go to Chapel Hill and are expected to contribute "

Which again is wrong because some are asked to start or at least be the 1st man off the bench.

You named 10 and only 3 had any merit. The others were forced to start because players left and the others were in the same role as PJ. Congrats on actually making my point stronger.

There was no "6th man". PJ and JMM both filled that role. You're wrong again.

And if you're going to quote me do it correctly. Just another one of the many ways you're wrong

So your point is that PJ didnt get much playing time his freshman year (when he played 13 min/ game)

 

And then you use Henson (16 min) and JMM (15 min) as examples of freshman who played a lot?  They were used in almost the exact same way.

Surprised to see this thread still going. Hood is the better player and comes with less baggage, which is why this debate makes no sense anyway. Hood will probably be picked in the 8-14 range while PJ will go late first round or early second round. It will never be a choice between these two.

Well thanks for settling that.....

But....

The debate isn't who is the better player, it's (supposed to be) about which player is better for the Hornets. Which means you have to take into consideration where the Hornets will be drafting and which other players will be available when they're drafting in that position.

Anyone who says Hood is a better fit in Charlotte is a moron.

We already have 2 SFs better than him. We need a scoring SG.

He can play both as can PJ.

[Omega Atrocity]

If we could get PJ with the Portland pick that would be swell. I don't really have an opinion on Hood, but I don't think we'll have a pick in a position to get him.

Bump.

It seems young superstar Rodney Hood is struggling now that Duke is no longer playing cupcakes & is in the heart of the ACC schedule.

First 16 games:

18.6 pts (52%), 4.7 reb, 1.9 ast, 2.1 turnovers

Last 10 games:

12.4 pts (40%), 3.5 reb, 2 ast, 2.6 turnovers

So...there's NO WAY PJ would be scoring 12 points a game if he played in the ACC.   I mean, that's like four whole 3-pointers
