Not close having Around 20 players in the nba like ky. Almost every game has a cat playing. Whiteside is a great story. Kid keeps it up by plating hard and keeping quiet he will be a millionaire this time next year. Its hilarious. HE IS playing like a veteran and at times the most dominating player on the flloor. Bosh shoots the 3 better but thats it. Wow whiteside isvthe man.

If you look at some of the Top 25 duds this week and compare the team's stat line to Kyrie Irving's night last night, it's pretty comical how crappy of a product college basketball is.
#18 Northern Iowa last night scored 59 points on 16 assists and committing 12 TOs
#12 Wichita State last night scored 58 points on 11 assists and committing 8 TOs
#23 Miami last night scored 50 points on 9 assists and committing 12 TOs
#21 Georgetown on Tuesday night scored 53 points on 9 assists and committing 17 TOs
#20 Baylor scored 53 points Tuesday night on 8 assists and committing 13 TOs
#2 Virginia scored 50 points Sunday on 12 assists and committing 13 TOs
#20 Northern Iowa scored 54 points Sunday on 14 assists and committing 16 TOs
....and of those 7 terribly played games, the ranked team went 4-3 in those games. Terrible basketball being played when those performances result in a win more times than not.
Those average out to be 53.9pts, 11.3 assists, and 13 turnovers.
Kyrie Irving scored 55 points last night, while also having 5 assists and only 3 TOs. Much cleaner game to watch.
Speaking of how bad college basketball is compared to the NBA, Georgia Tech was held to 28 points on 2 assists, and shot 0-12 behind the 3pt line last Thursday night. On the same night, Klay Thompson scored 37 points in the 3rd quarter vs the Kings, and shot 9-9 from behind the 3pt line during that quarter.
Also, just a few nights ago, the wvu vs Kansas State game, there were a total of 64 FTs attempted and 45 turnovers between the two teams. I'm sorry, but you can see better basketball being played during lunch time at any junior high gym in WV.
