But waiting till someone senior year to put up the mediocre numbers you just posted is embarrassing.

Would you rather have bliss or one of the hundreds of nameless, faceless players at the 9/10 spot on the bench who weren't even good enough to take away 2 of his minutes a game?

And I"m not sure why you call those numbers mediocre. He averaged more PPG than maten does now, 1 less RPG than thornton, the same amount of blocks, has a better FT% than every non-guard on our team aside from Nemi, and averaged only 1 turnover. Woudl that be medicore for kevin durant? Yeah. But for what we asked him to do that was more than good. It also didn't take until his senior season. His freshman year he averaged 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block, 1 assist, and 2 turnovers. Again...for his role that was great.


What also needs to be pointed out is that Bliss helped us out in a way that most people would never have bothered. This was a year or 2 after the Harrick scandal and we lost basically our entire committed class. He came in at a time that every player on the roster knew we'd suck, and we follwoed up by going 8-20 or something like that. He came here because he wanted to play for UGA. And he did just fine. I have never seen someone get so shite on by our fans than bliss. What honestly makes him any worse than steve newman or any other big white guy? What about Robb Dryden? He sucked balls but no one gives him hell. Probably because the people ripping on bliss weren't even watching UGA bball when dryden was here.

What about other players like younes iddrissi, or rashaad singleton, or any number of other big men that didn't do half of what bliss did?
