The logic used in these message board arguments make me never want to post again, although I don't post that much anyways. Edited by tyler8186, Nov 6 2008, 12:01 PM.

Hey, I'm just using Unbathed's logic when saying that. He is providing excuse after excuse for Gordon, and when completely owned, Unbathed used Gordon's 25 points (actually 22) against Purdue as justification for playing in the NBA. Don't let your pro-IU bias blind you from seeing the true substance of this thread. |

no because a bunch of highly paid NBA GM's knew Teague wasn't worth drafting - at age 23 no less. in Gordon - they picked him in the top 10 - at age 19 :owned: |

*Yawn* Just means he was over rated. Means nothing in the NBA...as we have already seen. |

Gordon's decision to play for a well-known cheater (and leave Illinois high and dry) did come back to bite him on the ass last year. I do agree with that aspect. As far as playing for the worst team in the NBA, that is a good thing for a young player. Plenty of opportunity for garbage minutes. |

He always wanted to play for IU, just wasn't a Davis fan. i think if any coach came to IU, he would have went there anyways. he didn't come just for sampson |

You need to look no further than IU's very own Bill Lynch to see that players can discipline free, uninjured, and better than the guys ahead of them on the depth chart and still not play. It's called loyalty to veterans and the belief that newer players need to "earn their keep" so to speak. |

I will say the Clippers are a pretty pathetic organization. If you draft a kid that high, no matter how good he is (which I think he was drafted too high), you have to at least give him 15 minutes a night and see what he has. If you don't give the guy a chance, you may as well have traded the pick for something they you'll utilize. He'll get his chances. Dunleavy is trying to win, and Baron/Mobley/Ricky Davis give him the best opportunity at this point. When they are out of it at the All-Star break, he'll start playing much more. |

so much for the sampsonite prediction of him being the number one pick in the draft, by the way. hes got to be maybe the most overrated IU guard I've seen in my 52 years. he wasnt much better than bracey wright, especially for all the hype. doesnt bother me to see him with the Clips...he's counting his millions and is probably thrilled he's as far as way as bloomington as he can be. |

I refuse to blame Gordon given the disaster coaching situation. Under Knight (had he not transfer first), he would have been a Jay Edwards type player. |

Gordon would have never fit under Knight. Gordon needed an NBA style of offense, not a motion offense. Gordon would have been a monster under Crean and his NBA-type offense. |
