If you think a guard with a 29.7 fg% who can’t guard anybody is an average Big East guard I’m glad you’re not in charge of recruiting.

I know reading isn't always your strong suit, but the part you quoted said "when he replaced James." During that time, Acker shot 11/30 from three (36.7%) and 2/4 from two (50%). I'll take a 54.4 eFG% from the bench replacement any time. He had 23 assists to 9 turnovers. Buzz strictly used him as a game manager and charged him with handling the ball and not turning it over (never more than 2 TOs in a game during that stretch). He wasn't great, he wasn't awful. He was fine. But because he was replacing James and we were playing 6/8 games against ranked teams (5 in the top-10) he was just adequate.

Seriously, you don't have to do this. Your defenders are all gone, you're spam posting Chicos style to defend the indefensible. It's okay to just walk away from the topic you've so clearly been run around in circles on. Just take the L and move on.

Acker was adequate when he replaced James. Not great, clearly not as good as James, but roughly an average player (which felt like and was a big step down from an all-conference type PG).

The bolded is false.

And if constantly pointing out your errors, mis-statements and exaggerations because you can't admit that your take was horrendous, makes me a "blowhard," it's a badge I will wear with honor.  And I will continue down this path the more you continue to double...triple...sextuple down on this nonsense.

Got anything else???

I was wrong on the timing. See how easy that was?

The fact remains that he sucked as a junior and was invited to return as a back up, not a starter.

Remember when America's largest state (by far) - a state with a GDP larger than all but 4 countries - was doomed because people were moving out "in droves"?

California’s population grew in 2023, halting 3 years of decline, state estimates

Of course, one really needed a generous definition of "droves" to justify the doom talk ... and California's population today is larger than it was just a few years ago.

And thank goodness! The taxes paid for and income generated by California corporations and residents helps carry money-sucking states like Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, West Virginia, etc.

Don't get me started ....

  I watched the whole Jan.6th thing unfold real time and i have questions. I saw Capitol police escorting people throughout the building waiting ,In some instances, for them to catch up and going up staircases ; I saw people walking through halls peacefully staying between the velvet ropes. I can't deny what I saw  and no one can answer why normally locked doors to the entrances where open. No one questions there were some bad actors in the crowd but the treatment of curious citizens is reprehensible. People are being denied the right to a speedy trial for political purposes.  Much of this has the whiff of Russian dossier hysteria

Walking peacefully...curious citizens...Just some tourists in the Capitol building, right?

If those curious citizens were Russian and did that in the Russian Capitol building, I think maybe, just maybe they would have faced far more serious consequences.
