Disagree Zach. Bassett is the benefactor of the enormous amount of attention paid to Gordon on the defensive end. If EJ had as many open looks as Bassy, we wouldn't be having this debate.

Were you getting an error message? Anyone else having problems?

We were actually talking this very same subject at the game last night. It's really not that silly, when you look at the numbers.

Gordon's clearly the better player/athlete, but Bassett one-ups him with his shot. There definitely is a difference.

You're silly if you think Bassett is a better shooter than EJ.

Good call Tsell:

Although I think if Basset can stay as healthy as he is it's pretty obvious that him, Gordon, White and Ellis need to be on the court as much as possible. They cleary have emerged as the four best players on this team and all do different things that make this team flow.

Basset runs the offense and in my opinion is the best shooter on the team. Gordon is the main scoring threat on the perimeter, White is the man in the middle, and Ellis does a little of everything.

That #4 position is going to be the achilies heel of this team all year. Hopefully it doesn't burn them too bad this Saturday against UConn, a team with a couple of decent big men.
