How many 3-pointers did Ellington attempt against Shaw??? Two??? Over the course of the last season, Ellington shot 37.1% from behind the arc (likely to improve this season), Scheyer shot 36.5% (whether he improves that will depend on how much point guard he has to play). And Ellington is a better wing defender, unless you give props to Scheyer for the classic Duke tactic of 'flopping' on defense. Danny Green, despite his 'erratic' offense, is a very solid wing defender. Alex Stepheson, along with Deon Thompson and Tyler Hansbrough, gives the Heels arguably the best 4/5 rotation in college basketball. And what evidence do you have to suggest that Ellington is 'enigmatic'??? The fact that he doesn't give the Disturber's college basketball writers the time of day??? He should get kudos for that. Carolina doesn't need anyone who plays for Duke. But Duke won't win another national title until they can find someone who can consistently score, rebound and defend in the low post - in the mold of a Laettner, Brand or Boozer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-63041290437638658472007-11-06T13:39:00.000-05:002007-11-06T13:39:00.000-05:00Scheyer's family hates people with vertigo, so tha...Scheyer's family hates people with vertigo, so that's not happening, even theoreticallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-22823200197508569382007-11-06T13:11:00.000-05:002007-11-06T13:11:00.000-05:00Well, Stepheson's family hates Coach K with a pass...Well, Stepheson's family hates Coach K with a passion, so that's just not happening, even theoretically.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
