If one of them "had to" come back for their Jr. year, which would you pick?Pick for what? College or Nba career? Earnings? Date my sister (too soon?)?
I love Brown and Gillis, but jr Flip would be insane on this team. McBob is an interesting player. He did a lot of things very well but didn't seem to love being the man. Maybe if he's Robin to Cooper's Batman we would get to see the best version of McBob.From what I've read, Josh had more chemistry issues with the team that affected his production. The chemistry on last year's team wasn't great either, but Flip always brought it. Both struggled with the physicality of playing as a true 5 and both did much better as freshmen when they had an elite rim protector next to them. Flip is more suited to the modern game with his ability to stretch the floor and handle some from the perimeter (though that needed improvement).
With the roster we have next season, Flip would be an interesting fit next to Flagg. Both very versatile and would just require players around them to play roles. We probably don't land Brown or Gillis or maybe we get neither. But our 2007-2008 team could have REALLY used a junior McRoberts so that Singler wouldn't have to play the 5. We had very little inside that year. So I guess if I had to choose it would be McRoberts primarily based on need.
Both McBobs and Flip played substantially better as So. than they did as Fr. Just because neither met expectations of everyone not named them doesn't mean they didn't have better years as Sophs than as Frosh.From what I've read, Josh had more chemistry issues with the team that affected his production.

Did I read that correctly? You think Josh Mc Roberts "appeared to intentionally give away [the Clemson game] several times?" Was he shaving points? Just not like Coach K? I'm open to other suggestions for what seems to me to be a preposterous and borderline libelous take.in my opinion, McRoberts squandered his skills. Flip made better use of more limited capabilities. McRoberts was more fluid and athletic than Flip. But his head often didn’t seem to be in the game. And I’ll never forget the home game against Clemson that McRoberts appeared to intentionally try to give away several times.
I don't think either Flip or McRoberts showed good leadership skills. I'd take Flip in a toss up.I think Flip had better leadership skills and would add more value as a Junior and probable team captain. I was more disappointed when Flip left.
