You can keep saying that the NBA is the only way to gauge how good a player is and I'll keep telling you it doesn't make sense. JJ is the best player in COLLEGE BASKETBALL. Not basketball period. COLLEGE BASKETBALL. This has absolutly nothing to do with the NBA in any way.
I don't understand why it's so difficult for you to understand what I'm saying. Like almost every other Duke 'star' -- all of which were thought to be among the best players in the country -- they're a product of the system. They're nothing without the system. You want to argue that Morrison wouldn't be as good with the talent that Reddick has around him -- why can't I basically say the same thing about Reddick in that he wouldn't be as good without as much talent around him and without Coach K's system like most Duke players past?

That's the argument. It's alright for you to say that Morrison is good because of the situation he's in, but I can't argue the same about Reddick?
