Why does attending Duke make him a scrub?

Henderson is in a tough situation if you ask me. With Jack out he's now the 2nd scoring option in the starting lineup when he'd be better off as the 4th. He's the type of player that gets open shots because the top scorers receive all the attention. I don't think he'll ever be an all star, but because of his defense and athleticism he'll be a good player with a stronger starting lineup.

1) Attending Duke makes him a "scrub"? Come on...

2) There is a lot of room between someone calling him a "not very good role player" and an "all star guard". Just because he isn't one doesn't mean he is the other.

To be clear, and this isn't just towards you, but to everyone who has flamed me in this thread, I was speaking in the context of the expectations that he would be a solid starter for years to come. Basically, I was saying "He's not very good as a starter."

I could still be wrong, but from what I've seen, I'm fairly convinced he isn't permanent starter material. And as I said, if i am wrong, I wil gladly and happily eat crow for it.

And believe me, I wanted to believe he was a starter as well, but it just isn't so. Great defender and athlete, streaky shooter at best, but better suited as a role player.

Which Gerald were you talking about again?

My point exactly when talking about the Wallace trade.

- we just got 2 first round draft picks for that exact description.

Henderson so far has been Gerald Wallace 2.0 if you ask me. Its a super small sample size and we need to let it play out. Can he be a starter? Can he be the number one? Only time will tell. I think he's got what it takes and will be the guy for us. But I wouldn't make the statement Gerald Henderson is a god after such a small smattering of games. We were a 40 win team with him coming off the bench, if we can be a 40 win team with him as a starter i'd rate that as a success.

Please take your petty my university is better than your university quibbling to one of those mouth breathing ACC message boards. This is a website dedicated to PROFESSIONAL basketball. No one gives a crap where you got the most rejection letters from.

Go Bobcats.

Does that mean Harrison Barnes won't be great? Hell no. Just like being from Duke doesn't mean Hendo is a scrub.
