All that stat looking up is worthless. Name another player on Curry's team at Davidson, or Lillard for Weber State, or McCullum at Lehigh. Those dudes had Box and 1 defenses thrown at them. Over half of their 3-point attempts were from NBA range because that was the only way they could get a clean look. On top of that, they were asked to shoot 25 times a game.

It's a shame that some of our fans can't get out of their feelings to cheer for a player who chose to come to LSU. He could have gone many other places under better coaches and lived up to his ranking. Some people are really hoping he fails so that can say I told you so. Get over yourself and let that young man try to be great.

I did not mention Antonio Blakeney one time in my post. If he goes on to be an NBA all-star, that's awesome, good for him. Extremely unlikely, but I'm not rooting against him. This guy just compared Antonio Blakeney to Steph Curry, Lillard, and McCollum...I actually have a little sense, so I think that's just a little unrealistic and unfair for AB.

Yes, because being skeptical that Blakeney will go from undrafted to shooting 40% from 3 in the NBA must mean that you have animus towards him and wish to see him fail in his endeavors.
