I am sure the stats only mean so much, right? Because otherwise I think we've gone from averaging 27 points per game to about 32 points per game between losing Price but adding Shamburger.

How has he faired against tougher competition? I don't even know what Hawaii plays in...is it the WAC?

How would you judge his talent/ability compared to Clark? And I saw his stats but that's not even half the story. For example, I think Clark is a better talent than a 4.1 points per game and 2.1 assists per game type of player.

quote:
Takeaways - Shamburger isn't afraid to drive the lane if the defense is playing him to tight. He drives with a plan and court vision (unlike Clarkson who's plan usually seemed to be "Charge at the big guy down there. Run into him. Heave up a desperation shot and hope for the foul call). Shamburger can drop a three if the defense isn't playing tight enough. The former Rainbow Warrior will take the charge and plays a more aggressive defense than any player currently on Mizzou's roster.

That tells me more. Thanks. I hope you're right about the other stuff.

Shamburger was better than Clark last year, and he will be better than Clark next year. Regardless of talent level, Shamburger is older, more experienced, and more athletic.

But, I can't really compete with your vague gut feelings about Clark being better than a 4.1 ppg and 2.1 apg player. You know, the stats don't show that, and I sure didn't see it on the court last year. Truthfully, Clark looked jumpy and erratic, prone to errors, and at least another year, if not 2, away from being a number 1 PG.
