One of the most glaring comments by Davis in his article is that he mentions Chris, but not Austin. Could be another indication that his spelling is not the only homework he needs to address. That, and the fact that he said Roy will most likely be wearing an NBA uniform by the time Wright arrives...

I love message board controversy , especially when it involves interesting, intelligent basketball discussion. This has been a truly entertaining thread!

I took homage with the fact ... Well, at least you showed that fact proper respect.

2) Perry still had hype, as do Wright & Freeman. It's just a possibility that talent does not always measure up. Actually, I’d take your point a step further, vegas -- it’s more than just a “possibility” -- talent often does not manifest. Players have to prove themselves at each rung in the ladder. Many who were stars at the previous level become complementary players at the next, if they make it at all. Still others who were not standouts previously, continue to work on their game and finally manifest (see exhibit A, Charles Smith) Your comments about Tate (Venson!) and Perry reminded me of some other touted Hoya players who didn’t star for us, including Grady Mateen, Anthony Tucker and Duane Spencer. You just never know. Having said that, I’m still in RDF’s corner re: Freeman and Wright. My bet is that at least one, if not both, of them will deliver the goods.

AGH-
Having seen both play numerous times, I predict both will bring "the goods".......I just feel that Austin's delivery will be more along the lines of a Dominos guarantee, while Chris's may be one of those smaller chains who deliver, but not in any guaranteed time.

Just thought you'd want to know that apparently Seth Davis went back and proof read his article after, instead of before, publishing. Now if you click the link the three names are spelled correctly. Too bad he couldn't get it done right the first time
