couldn't you say the same thing about CP3?
Edited to add: I'm not sure it matters who recruited Downey. All I'm saying is that you take Duncan off our 1995 team and I don't think we are tournament team. We had no center. Duncan didn't take anyone's scholarship. His was a near desperate scholly. We were throwing some darts in a dart board and hoping one stuck (Blom, Makhtar, and Duncan).
On the flip side, CP3 was took what was developing into a very good basketball team to a level higher. We HAD a starting 1, but CP3 was an elite player that moved Downey to the bench. All the other pieces were there: shooting guard with range, check, small forward who was tall and elastic and could rebound, check, solid ACC 4, check, solid to awesome 5, check, depth - a little eratic at times (Strick, Ellis), but check. We were good with CP3 and great with him. And I totally acknowledged he elevated everyone else's game, particularly Gray and Big E.
