Billy Garrett, Jr - DePaul

[farmerdoc]

Would you answer the same way if asked the question after his freshman year as now?

[Nukem2]

Eye test, stats, whatever. Just answer if he's really good enough to be a rotation player for Nova. Or us for that matter. No freaking way.

Uhh, yes.

[kneelb4zerg]

Uhh, yes.

Who would he replace in our rotation?

There's definitely a point being missed, but not by Sultan. Garrett is trash. He is emblematic of why DePaul sucks. He is overrated by Marquette fans that ignore tangible numbers because he hit a game winning layup against us once upon a time. But as a player, his greedy shots, his piss poor efficiency, that's why DePaul has sucked. Billy Garrett wouldn't play for Nova. Please. He plays for DePaul because they don't have better options. They are the only Big East team that can say that. Would he even start for anyone else?

He's got the second worst eFG% on his team. He's a bad rebounder. He's just not good. And mercifully, his career is over. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

How? Not a single person on Scoop has suggested that Garrett is an "exceptional player" or even "damn good."

[DavidBoone2inchesTaller]

I would love his leadership and defensive ability on our team. Like Will Gates.

Scoop could use that kind of leadership and maturity too Mr.TheSultan.

I was referring to the level of discourse.

Ah "leadership." The crutch people use when nothing else makes sense. Such a great leader that they went 42-86 in his four years, 14-58 in conference. So how do we determine his leadership skills?

Look, I'm not calling him "trash." I think he is pretty much an average, replacement level type player. No more than that.

Not that I'm aware of. I do know there were two different (and as far as we know unrelated) Bykowski families, one on the north side in Riverwest, another in the Polish Flats on the south side. I'm from the north side family, and don't really know anyone from the south side.
