Like Pitino taking Sebastian Telfair over Rajon Rondo?


Telfair definitely had a different type of swagger than Rondo. Telfair was Brooklyn through and through. He was also considered a better prospect than Rondo by just about everybody even though they were both highly rated guys. I think Ronald Steele was rated hire than Rondo as well if memory serves.

ETA: yeah, just looked it up. There were a few really good PG’s in that class - those three plus Shaun Livingston, Kyle Lowry, Jordan Farmar, Chris Lofton, AJ Price.

It looks like RJ Johnson played in their senior day game. Not sure if that means his legal issues are behind him or not.

He did play last night. I heard a rumor today that charges got dropped, but the person I heard it from was just passing on a rumor. I can’t confirm that. I’ll likely find out for sure next week at the area tournament.

Doubt he would have played if it wasn't true.

Best player in the state. Grissom struggled without him.

Not true. He is in a group of players in contention for second best player in the state.

This is true

WOW. How long has he been out? How many minutes did he play?

You speaking foolish if you think he's not going to be RUSTY.

He's smart, tough, and underrated as a basketball player. People won't give him his just do because of his legal situation but prior to having to sit games there was NOBODY better than him in the state of Alabama.

He's very similar to Jaden Bradley but he's a better finisher at the rim.

#Clamped? You mean #47 points? Labaron has no help. RJ is playing with multiple teammates that will play college ball. I’ve watched both play multiple times. Philon is in a different class than RJ.

It’s Joka…God love him but he would hype up a paraplegic if we signed one.

So why has Grissom struggled without RJ if they have all this college level talent?

When Labaron was guarded by RJ...what happened? Don't start crawfishing.

People love making excuses...He's in a different league then RJ but RJ has the better team.

I don't have to hype anybody.

I speak facts. Go watch tape.

because RJ is still their best player and they play a good schedule.

Labaron scored 47.

Correct, but I wouldn’t count baker out if they play again in the playoffs. That game was in November. By the way, Baker has lost several games this season where Philon was in a different league than every player on the court.

The LIES you are willing to tell.

You know there's actual footage where RJ Johnson guarded Labaron Philon?

It didn't look good for your boy lol.

But hey Philon is in another league then RJ.

By the way Spence Sims was BETTER than him since you claimed he out performed everybody he's gone against!

Auburn gets a borderline to 40 player in Philon and thinks he is the best player of all time. I know it's big news for them so I'll let them enjoy it.

Alabama currently has 5 players on our team that were top 40 recruits, Auburn has 1, Yohan Traore and he's averaging 3 points a game.

They haven't had a lot to cheer about this year in Bball Joka today. Let them have this one.


ETA: Auburn actually has another borderline top 40 recruit on their roster, Chance Westry, he is averaging 3 points a game too. Seems like a talent development problem, hopefully, Philon doesn't get to Auburn and regress.
