How would you judge his talent/ability compared to Clark?
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.

Yes, he was a freshman, you're right. But if you don't like the vague gut feelings, I'll stick with the hard numbers. Next year the team will average:

Shamburger 9.3
Biedscheid 6.2
Williams 5.8
Rosburg 4.8
Clark 4.1
Bello 2.4
Jones 2.1
Post 1.5
Rector .5
Feldman .4

So, removing all the vague bullshite, this team will average 37.1 points per game. Now my vague gut feeling tells me if we remove all vague gut feelings from the equation, that's going to make for a boring and frustrating year. How many games do you think we win total if we take away all the vague gut feelings and only go with the hard numbers and score 37.1 points per game?

Good lord. You haven't even watched but maybe 1 game of this Shamburger kid (and I'm being charitable). How did he do against the backcourt matador defense of Mizzou? 3-12. 0-3 from 3. And he fouled out in 28 minutes.
