Yep, Bank of Cuban was open.
Instead they have Monta Ellis who's basically JR's cheaper cousin from the south

I'm not sure if you follow cbb, actually I'm fairly certain you don't with this response. Harden was a top 5 player in that draft, he was a 1st team all american and Pac10 player of the year as a soph. He was one of the only players people felt comfortable knowing he would be able to play well at this level. Reke people wondered whether he was a 1 or a 2 and if he could play off the ball. Steph people wondered whether he could play the 1, could he get his shot off, and was he strong enough to play at this level. He was dominant ASU, definitely not a reach AT ALL.

Just had a disappointing and terrible performance in the tourney vs Temple and Syracuse which put a bad taste in people's mouths.

Not fair to compare players when the generation gap is as big as Kobe and Jerry West IMO. However, 27 ppg without a 3 point line is incredible. Damn
But Kobe's for sure the better player, and it isn't that close. West couldn't go left that well, and didn't have the athleticism nor the post game that Kobe has. At the same though, that's why I don't like to compare across multiple generations because who knows how West would have turned out if he came into the league in 96? But as it stands, Kobe is clearly the better player out of the two.

Game was played at a MUCH faster pace in West's day. Give Kobe's team 20-30 more possessions per night and see what happens lol.

but yeah 27 points as a guard with no 3 point shot is insane

Datz he easily was considered the 3rd best pick in 09
He wasn't considered a superstar on the next level, but he was the 3rd best player in that draft by most accounts. What he's doing in the L he did in the pac 10. He was always a high percentage, high free throw guy with a high usage rate and a great playmaker. Most thought that would translate to a lesser degree at the next level. The questions surrounded his athleticism and whether or not he would be able to translate that on the next level.
He actually could have went to the L as a freshman, in that loaded pac 10 but wouldn't have went lotto amongst OJ, K love, Russ Wess, Lopez Twins, etc.
But yeah, he was definitely considered a top 3 prospect in 09 after coming back. He was borderline lotto as a freshman and had a better sophomore year, and they won at ASU that year.

Even though Harden had an awful NCAA tourny...he was definitely considered a top 3-5 guy.

Gobert looking like a real life carnival mirror 
Length is crazy and he's fluid, very interested to see what becomes of him. Jazz stay with some good young bigs

Forgot about that besides that Spurs series, Harden has been lackluster in post season games

I don't know who looks more out of shape Melo in this picture or Felton on the cover of the Kicks magazine in the Batman compression shirt holding in his gut. Melo and Felton are the only people who I have ever seen who GAIN weight during the season....
