re: Missouri transfer Xavier Pinson picks LSU

I don't know why you all are so offended over people calling out his efficiency numbers. They aren't good. Hopefully he improves on them. Better shot selection can help there. He shot 46% from inside the arc as a Sophomore, which isn't terrible.

You should know by now the Rant only allows two kinds of opinions: (1) the guy is the greatest player in the history of the sport and now that he is a LSU Tiger will be an All American, or (2) he is absolutely horrible and has no worth as a human whatsoever. There is NO "in-between".

While he may not be a preseason All American candidate, he's a solid, proven SEC player with a ton of experience. LSU is losing ~95% of their production from this past season and was looking at a situation where they were going to have to turn to a lot of relatively inexperienced guys to make that up. Pinson is a guy that has shown in SEC play he can help do that. Is he going to put up Cam Thomas type numbers? Probably not. But for a team that was looking at a lot of "unknows" going into next season Pinson represents a known commodity to build with.
