Was trying to not engage in the Jack Salt bait on the intel thread, but @kjwilliams612 , this post is violence:
If we want an apples to apples comparison of āwhoās good at offense when surrounded by NBA playersā then letās compare Salt in 18-19 to RD on the Suns.
Tbh, Iām just relieved that Ty and Dre are still able to thrive without all those screens.
(And look, I like Jack. But letās not get this twistedā¦)
I demand you restart the podcast and issue a public apology. 
Our offense was a lot better in 2019 with Mamadi at the 5 than Jack. Hell the defense may have been better too. Not trying to take away from Jack, he was a really valuable player, especially for certain matchups. We donāt beat Purdue without him. But letās not sell Mamadi short.
Jack was a great piece to have. See the Purdue game. Tony promoted Mamadi at the right time, tho
But what if weād just played Huff instead against Purdue?
(Ducks)
I mean he wouldve been great in drop coverage against Carsen Edwards then protect tbe rim all gameā¦ am I doing thos right?
lol I may have been a bit wild here but I still think RD at a 4 in mover blocker was a bad fit.
Also I might be in the minority but I donāt think RDās rookie year was anything special. Decent stats on a bad team and fell out of the rotation a few times. Still think heās an upcoming talent but he did make me appreciate Salt more.
NO AUSSIES OR KIWIS!
Jack Salt was fun, we needed him for that one matchup, and screens, but cāmon.
Groves was solid!
Let me make an even more incendiary remarkā¦
Those 2019 Hoos DO NOT win the natty if Jack Salt hadnāt hurt his back.
Kendall asks DTW to hold his beer
Not really controversialā¦ just a fact.
He was struggling and it was clear in hindsight that the last few years he was more going through the motions and pouting than he was doing what he did from 2014-2019. Heās also a stoic guy with a few passive aggressive tendencies and I think it just took him time to realize it was never going to work. A shame ā was really hoping heād be our coach until he was in his 70āa and deliver multiple FFs and maybe even another title, but the game changed and he couldnāt. Do think he could have handled it all better than he did though.
The relitigation on this board of the 2019 natty will never not be stupid.
We won.
Period.
Go Hoos.
Counterpoint: talking hoops is fun! And if we start banning stupid posts, well then we are all gonna get hit by that.
I was at that game. Great game! Back in the days when Bennett dominated Williams and I felt genuine sympathy towards Carolina.
Imagine having to ride home with a Carolina fan after the Woldetensae game ā¦ very quiet rideā¦. I was so pumped and had to hold it in til I got home where I watched the replay 29 times.
Jack Salt has more national championships than Ralph Sampson, look it up
(Sorry catching up on the week and had to throw my smart ass comment in)
