Newman V. Murray

I don't think he's EVER said "I won't play the 2."

Wanting to play a position isn't the same as saying you won't play another. Everytime a kid doesn't come here, people look for reasons to feel good about them not coming here.
I know, I know--but he went to MSU! That doesn't mean that he went there so he could be the PG. I would venture to guess that Howland is sitting over there saying "You see how Westbrook is playing? All those triple doubles? Yeah, I coached him, taught him everything he knows."

But, you can't just say "Oh, you went to NOT KENTUCKY? You're selfish." Everything in life has some degree of self serving. If kids are coming to KY because Cal is putting all these players in the NBA--that's for them. They aren't sacrificing because they're good kind hearted people. They're buying into "This is what's best for me." It's still about them.

Well if Newman is falling for the Russell Westbook thing then he isn't very bright. Westbrook is a freak of an athlete and from what I've seen of Newman he isn't. Be like Cal telling Newman, you see John Wall and Derek Rose, you could be that...nope he can't be that. He has a better jumper than either of them, but not as explosive.

I said I would rather have Murray because he seems to be more of a team player. I watched Newman in the McDaa and he took some stupid shots. I look at him as more of an Austin Rivers type of player.
