UGA basketball is terrible, but I'd love to hear your argument for why Cam Thomas is better than Dominique Wilkins.

This is a stupid question, would UGA fans want Anthony Edwards back this season, I would assume so? And he wasn't even as good as Thomas is at the moment.


Hoooooooooooooly shite. You cannot be serious.

You don't even have to go back to Nique. Anthony Edwards just played there 12 months ago

Imagine how much better he would shoot if he wasn't taking 30 foot jump shots off the dribble with 28 seconds on the shot clock.

He is also a junior and the point guard. I expect him to know better vs comparing that to what s freshman is doing.

It's all on Wade anyways. He's the one letting them get away with all this sloppiness.

Well yeah, but he could put up a bad, but good faith, argument on that one because Edwards is only an NBA rookie who was a one and done. There's no argument you can put forward for why some freshman volume scorer is a better player than a HoFer who was a 2x All American and SEC POTY in college.

No

Which isn't a slight to Thomas, it's just proof at what an idiotic thing that was to say. But it's TigerJay, so.

There have definitely been people on there say that we played better offense without Thomas. I don't know about the bring the team down part. But, the other part is 100% true.

Or Jarvis Hayes.

Cam Thomas wouldn't even make 2nd team All-UGA basketball if we're being honest.

This is a good point as well, especially considering the amount of college games that come down to the last 1-2 minutes. Let’s say there is 20 seconds left, and someone has to take a difficult shot, Thomas shoots almost exclusively shots that have an extremely high level of difficulty, so his chances of making that difficult shot late are about the same as any other time. Now compare that to a guy who just plays smart and takes good shots, if said player is forced to shoot a tough shot late, he may be a 50 percent shooter but with the degree of difficulty that would drop considerably.


Wow. Why some NBA team hasn’t snatched you up for their analytics department I just can’t imagine.

Lol. You still don't understand the concept of efficient scoring.

He's 18 years old. Conventional wisdom would say that he would improve from year 1 to year 2. We're very aware of what he needs to improve upon, but anyone saying they wouldn't young kid to come back who just scored the way he did as a freshman would be ignorant and/or foolish. He won't be back, so this entire discussion is rather pointless, but yes he would be welcomed back with open arms
