In what way was ANY team Shelden Williams on stacked? How many burger all Americans did he play with at once?
Google.

And while you're checking out the fact that dude was on a #1 seed 3 out of his 4 years in college, you can also go take a look at how many guys averaged a double double to see how pointless of a statistic that really is when predicting who's gonna be what in the NBA.

Even if they didn't choose Gordon, they would've got Exum or Smart.

Gordon will be alright anyway

:mjlol: fukk that gotta do with anything? Dude was regarded as one of the best if not THE best interior defenders and rebounders in the country TWO YEARS IN A ROW. Randle was just another hot freshmen at a big school. Real shyt, his freshmen year was on par with Tyler Hansborough. I'm not saying they'll be the same at all - but that's what you're doing when you only talk about college stats like thats the end all be all measure of NBA success.

and both dudes weren't shyt in the NBA.

Then you got guys that do nothing but 'show flashes' becoming perennial all-stars. Saying someone got double-doubles in college, by itself, is absolutely fukking pointless. Thomas Robinson played behind the Morris Twins. He wasn't 'held back' either. He showed out in college then floundered immediately. Marvin Williams was playing behind a strong frontcourt at UNC, some said Roy was 'hiding' him. Same with Ed Davis.

Its a shyt measuring tool. Hold the L:coffee:

If I could choose between Carlos Boozer and Shawn Marion, I'll pick Marion.

My problem with the Marion/Gordon comparisons is that Marion always had a complete offensive game and Gordon is continuously lost on the court.

I'll give you the post game. He used to excel at that. But that's it. Nikka doesn't have outside shooting and handle. I'll give Gordon some time because he's only 19 and didn't even played much in his rookie season.
