    Look at Sheldon's numbers against the likes of Sean May and Eric Williams, etc... and you will find that he is nothing special about him either

    you can make that face all you want...

    Go find Williams's career stats against people projected to be 1st rders or who are 1st rounders...

    He is in between being a good and a great player...

    He can feast on single teams b/c he is too good for them, but if he is doubled, or if he faces a serviceable foe, he is contained...

    Make your point for once in your life...

    Tell me why I am wrong...

    that is what debate is...

    In life, you can't always insert a smiley and run away

    You could say the same about Big Baby...look at the numbers that Noah put up this year on LSU. Randolph Morris even dropped 17 on Big Baby.

    you are absolutly right...

    2 things...

    the 1st Florida game, Davis wasn't on the court much

    and for UK, without Tyrus we are a completely different team, but you are right...

    It is great t ohave a discussion with someone intelligent enough to do something other than this: :nope:

    Welcome to the forum! :)

    How about the following:

    vs. Texas (arguably the best front court in the country) Shelden had 23 points, 6 rbs, 5 blks, 4 assists

    v. UNC 18 points 15 rebounds (Hansbrough has been a dominant force)

    v. GW / Pops Mensah Bonsu 17 points 14 rebounds

    One of 3 players in the history of the ACC to retire with the numbers that he has had in points, rebounds and blocks (one of the others being TIm Duncan).

    Shelden is a great player and he has put up these numbers his entire career without a good forward to play along side him.

    Bonsu is a joke, but 18 and 15 is good against UNC...

    his FG % was way below 50 wasn't it though?

    Hansbrough was pretty dominant on the offensive side....but the defensive side I am not so sure....

    he was dominant enough...

    I watched that game... Williams got all his pts from the line... he had a bad field day I believe
