World war thread

Wildcats1st
We re in the midst of the beginning stages of a global war. Ukraine is now attacking targets in Sudan. Wtf? Armenia and Azerbaijan are in the beginning stages of a new war. The US just appeased Iran with ridiculous amounts of money for nothing after the last administration killed their chief terrorist. N korea has joined forces with Russia. Soon I expect a China-Russia-Iran-n korea axis to develop. A US led effort to build peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia has blown up this will leading to another Palestinian uprising. A catastrophic clash between Israel and hezbollah/Iran is inevitable. This doesn’t even address the elephant of Ukraine vs Russia. There are about 8-10 other hot spots around the world that will erupt as the dominos begin to fall. The USA thinks it can control all these events but the control is slipping fast. Oh and btw the Indian government pulled off an assassination in Canada. Autocracies are pushing the limits of the west to see how far they can go and there is very little resistance.

Ranking the top 10 individual seasons, post-probation.

What's your list look like? Here's mine:

#1. 1993 Jamal Mashburn: 21ppg, 8.4rpg, 3.6apg, 1.5spg; 49%; 37%; 67%.
#2. 1992 Jamal Mashburn: 21ppg, 7.8rpg, 1.4apg, 1.8spg; 57%; 44%; 71%.
#3. 2012 Anthony Davis: 14.2ppg, 10.4rpg, 4.7bpg, 1.4spg; 62%; 15%; 71%.
#4. 2010 John Wall: 16.6ppg, 4.3rpg, 6.5apg, 1.8spg; 51%; 33%; 75%.
#5. 1996 Tony Delk: 17.8ppg, 4.2rpg, 1.8apg, 1.9spg; 49%; 44%; 80%.
#6. 1996 Antoine Walker: 15.2ppg, 8.4rpg, 2.9apg, 1.7spg; 46%; 19%; 63%.
#7. 1997 Ron Mercer: 18.1ppg, 5.3rpg, 2.4apg, 1.7spg; 49%; 35%; 78%.
#8. 2009 Jodie Meeks: 23.7ppg, 3.4rpg, 1.8apg, 1.3spg; 46%; 41%; 90%. *
#9. 2024 Antonio Reeves: 20.2ppg, 4.2rpg, 1.6apg, 0.7spg; 56%; 45%; 86%. *
#10. 2022 Oscar Tschiebwe: 17.4ppg, 15.1rpg, 1.1apg, 1.8spg; 61%; 0%; 69%. *

Honorable mentions: 2017 Malik Monk; 2016 Jamal Murray; 2002 Tayshaun Prince; 1995 Tony Delk; 2003 Keith Bogans; 2010 DeMarcus Cousins; 2016 Tyler Ulis.


* I just can't put Meeks, Reeves, and Oscar ahead of the guys ranked #1-7. For one, their teams didn't even advance past the first weekend in those seasons with Kentucky. Meeks' team didn't make the tourney at all. Reeves' 2024 team got bounced in the first round. Oscar's 2022 team also got bounced in the first weekend.

Meanwhile, Mashburn made at least the Elite Eight in both of the seasons on this list, only falling in OT twice to some of the most legendary teams in college basketball history (1992 Duke and 1993 Michigan); Delk won it all in his season, as did Walker. Mercer almost single-handedly led his team within an OT of a title. Wall turned UK from an NIT team into a 35 win team in one season, and almost made the Final Four as a freshman. Davis obviously won it all.

Question for Moderators

BeaveUKGT
I've been on here for about 20 years. Suddenly last week, any time I log in I get a message that my account is awaiting confirmation and that a confirmation email has been sent to my email address. I haven't received any such email. It gives me an option to resend the confirmation email, but even clicking on that results in no confirmation email.

And any time I try to post, my post gets held up, and I get a message that says my post is awaiting moderator approval.

What's going on?
