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


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.

I did not compare "him" to those players, I just compared his shooting statistics in college to theirs. It would completely unfair and unwise to expect Blakeney to ascend to the level of those players but it would also be unfair and unwise to count him out because he displayed a little shooting inconsistency in his sophomore year of college playing for one of most undermanned and under-coached teams in the SEC.

I don't think he was comparing them as much as pointing out that those players that were great in college improved on that when they got to the league played with better players beside them in a more open game. College basketball and NBA are completely different games. In the NBA you he will mostly face man to man and he won't be asked to be the guy and will be open a lot. Can he play defense at that level to stay on the floor is the more pressing question.
