First, I just work in Memphis. No sports affiliation.@lurkeraspect84 why are we having the same argument we’ve had a million times when you, a Memphis man, isn’t backing my rose in college > curry in college.
With all that said,it's besides the point on insinuating players don't get value from Calipri/UK.
Hard to compare, one stay longer and the other went to the title game in his only year.We are Past that. Do you think curry>rose in college.

Did you know Self and Calipari was on the same Final Four coaching staff together at KU?
Here is the thing. People were wrong by not thinking curry was at Rose’s level when he certainly was. Curry could do all the same things with the ball in his hand that rose can on top of being a much better shooter. Bill self at Kansas after the tourney that year old even said curry was the best player they played. Morant was aided in the fact by guys like curry and the dude at Portland coming from small schools. They are looking at themI agree. Just like in college no one thought curry was even remotely on the same level of Derrick Rose.
Ja morant drafted 2nd from Murray state so don’t give me curry wasn’t the top pick bc of where he played.
And no shit anyone would take curry now, hindsight is always 20/20.
Who is all this talent Memphis has besides Memphis??? Bc none of them has more than a cup of coffee in the nba. Rose WAS the talent.
Just a random note that I didn't realize befor now.No offense but what does self/cal have to do with anything?

You talk about rose’s injuries but then ignore the fact that curry was not healthy his first 2-3 seasons in the league? I disagree on rose having better handles. Will give you athleticism. Curry was underrated by all accounts. He was the best player in college basketball in 2007-2008. People now see he was and realized he was overlooked. One is going to be a first ballot HOFer. The best shooter of all time. The other I doubt even makes it in the hall...Curry was/is a better shooter of course. Rose has better handles, was much more athletic and was much better at getting the rim not to mention finishing through contact.
You realize rose won an nba MVP before he got injured and before curry was a household name. Were they in back to back draft classes?

It’s not hands down for that one year though if you look at them. Most would say they know that curry obviously got overlooked now. Curry’s play in the Tourney is what elevates him. The only what if I have for rose should be what if he could hit a free throw? I doubt curry misses in that situation. Michael Beasley. You think he was better than Stephen curry to that year? He was more hyped than steph. He went 2nd in the draft.Which all had 0 to do with their college years.
I’m not saying rose>curry period. I’m saying in roses one year at Memphis he was hands down the best college player in the nation. But we can just agree to disagree at this point, they are very very different players so hard to compare when ones a shooter and the other is a playmaker at the rim.
And tbh I wasn’t even aware curry was injured his first few seasons. But those injuries obv weren’t as catastrophic as the knee injuries rose had in Chicago, that completely derailed his career. But regardless rose will always be one of those what if guys. He stays healthy no doubt in my mind he’s a HOFer as well.
Yes I do. micheal Beasley had an amazing college year a Kstate. He was avg like 20 and 10
curry was overlooked. He was the best player in the country though
That’s because people are stupid. There is a reason bill self said curry was the best player they played in that tournamentIt’s easy to say now that Curry was better but during that time period nobody in the country would’ve passed on Rose to take Curry.

I know in college he was listed at 6’3” and 165 lbs. To my eyes, that was generous! He has probably filled out a little since then tho.What's Steph's size/measurables?
Behave pervs.
Easy to say in hindsight, but I think both cases could be argued. Rose was a boss and the only player I remember being Discussed as debatable was Michael beasely.curry was overlooked. He was the best player in the country though
Better how though? Like NBA prospect? Or just more productive?I’ll rephrase, in roses one year do you think curry was better than him that year?
I think Rose was the best player in the nation and it wasn’t even close, but just my opinion.
Beasley was nasty at Kstate.It’s not hands down for that one year though if you look at them. Most would say they know that curry obviously got overlooked now.

I question your evaluation skills.curry was overlooked. He was the best player in the country though
