How good was Levy supposed to be?
I don't know what the boards were like, but Levy was easily the most overrated Deac among Wake fans I knew at that point.

Overrated by who? Odom? Sure. I think everybody else knew he sucked.
Reading comp is your friend, RJ. You referred to Levy and Downey as guys Strick should have emulated and Strick had a better career as a professional (short as it was) than either.
King and Tucker were big men. Both had better careers, but Strick was a wing. Apples and oranges.
What did they overrate him as?
He took a ton of crap from people on the boards who didn't understand his value as a garbage guy who played well with everybody.
I agree with you. Everybody thought that he was an all star in waiting point forward who just didn't get enough possessions. He just wasn't ever that good, especially given his ranking.
He was #50 RSCI. He was a three year starter for three of our best teams. A 9/7 role player who shot around 50%. That's good for that ranking. I think you're talking about how Wake fans overrate everybody coming in. He was definitely disliked by most on the boards.
Not apples and oranges.
I referred to their heart and IQ not position. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL- you didn't ....
King, Tucker and Levy all played SF. That's I had to play Strickland on my team. If he had Taron's or Jamaal's bball IQ or heart, he'd be in the NBA now.
I didn't ANYTHING about their pro careers. Not ONE word- YOU added that....
It's VERY easy to understand what I said. I said, If HE (Trent) had Taron's or Jamaal's BBall IQ or heart.,"
YOU added something. Why can't you just say, "I was wrong. You didn't say that."
No excuses, just say you were wrong.
Half of the players rated above Levy were better than him. Half weren't.
There's nothing to be right or wrong about, RJ. I never said you said anything that you didn't say. In fact, I quoted what you said in my post and bolded what I was responding to.
I'm going to attribute this misunderstanding (and the caps-lock) to a top-shelf cocktail hour.

Stricklands talent is overrated. So is his defense (he WS athletic but no lateral quickness), but his senior year was solid and wasn't a bad shooter.
