    If my argument was based solely on PPG, then there's no argument - Curry had a better freshman year than Redick. I'm not saying he won't be a decent player at dook - I'm hoping he and the others can bring the whole program back. It's a fun rivalry but it's getting stale. Thankfully, UNC up'd it's game after the Doh years, now we just need dook to do the same.

    He refuses to see that, and while he obsesses over Duke, he doesn't realize how 1 dimensional JJ was as a freshman. It so obvious, really it is sad.

    JJ had a better 3pt percentage (b/c he was a jump shooter)...his FT percentage was better other than that, I see nothing.

    Again you are arguing with a Duke fan who watched JJ play every game of his career and knows how he progressed at Duke from a jump shooter to being able to drive to the basket and create his own shot.....Burger boy or not (many get passed over so to me that means nothing)....Seth Curry in my mind was a better freshman that JJ....JJ played on a better team, Seth already has aspects that JJ learned during his time at Duke, if you cant see that then you are just arguing for the sake of argument....if thats the case then I am done.

    You were done a long time ago from what I can tell. Other than the 'my eye for talent says Curry is better', you really haven't argued this very well at all.
    I'll say again - I understand why dookies have to believe Curry is the savior of the program and will revive them. I've seen it for several years now and I get it. Tell you what - let's wait till after the '10-'11 season and compare Redick's and Curry's sophomore stats on the same team in the same conference and that should be a fair comparison. Deal?

    But for now - I understand why you have to believe that and in the same situation, I'd probably do the same thing.

    I don't believe that Curry is the savior of the program, but thanks for putting words in my mouth.

    You have not argued why JJ was better, in fact you really haven't given anything at all to suggest he is better.

    I've told you why i think Curry was a better freshman than JJ.

    I nailed it above. This babble is just more of the same.

    how many F$*&%ing games of Seth Curry could EITHER one of you have watched while he was at LIBERTY? Two, three, maybe four or five? Both of you are talking out of your sphincter, and quite frankly, it stinks.

    Interestedonlooker has given a feasible argument that he's a more well rounded player, and JJ played to his strength as a freshman. That being said, its easy to forget that JJ was the one of the best players in the ACC for a long time and to expect Seth to progress like would be expecting a ton from him. His game and splash that he's made on college b-ball IS very similar to his brother's, but I haven't seen any play from him other than highlights so its tough to tell.

    The argument that a player's numbers aren't nearly as impressive from the Big South instead of the lofty ACC is stupid. Great players can come from small schools, and if a guy puts in 20 pts a game, when a freshman, while being the focal point of the conference along with the school, is quite impressive. I don't know who was better as a freshmen, and I'd probably go with Redick because of the credentials prior to the freshman year, but its comparing apples and oranges, and if shouldn't take 7 pages to get that little amount of decent arguments on either side.


    Just go and B-F*$ck already and get it over with. The question is which one of you is the pitcher and which would be the catcher.

    I think the accolades are what colors a lot of people's thinking. JJ Redick went to Duke, so he got the accolades. A lot of the McD's AAs are decided by what school is recruiting them. Redick was solid, but I don't know that you can say he was the one of the best for a long time. He's not a great defender, not a spectacular pass or ball handler, but he is a phenmon at shooting the ball.

    Hansbrough is the all-time leading scorer in the ACC, and he's not even the best player on his team. He gets all the accolades and he is a great college basketball player, but Lawson is a better basketball player. Green will be better in the NBA.
