re: Would the BB team have been better

My favorite thing about the "Blame Ben" crowd is that they all seem to think that both he a.) isn't as talented as the hype and that he b.) didn't care or try. But that is an epic contradiction. The one thing not in doubt is that he had one of the best statistical freshman seasons ever. If he isn't that talented, he must have put in Steve Wojciechowski, slapping the floor like effort to put up those numbers. Or if he didn't care, he must have been the most talented player ever to put up those numbers. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
