This. Thinking a team of Robbies would beat a team of Big Dogs is beyond comprehension. So is arguing about teams made up of clones.
The clone thing could happen...but it appears the original point has been lost. In a motion offense your point guard does not have to be a classic 1 guard. Recent examples includes Octeus and Keaton Grant. I am enjoying the five Ditkas image though.
I loved Robinson's play and consider him one of the best I have personally watched play. However, the reason why I liked 5 Robbies more than 5 Big Dogs is because Robinson would still have to get the ball down the court and that was an area of weakness for Glenn. I don't know how good 5 Glenns would be when pressed and that would not be an issue for 5 Robbies. Course once in half court...

Ok. But what if those 5 Robinsons were coached by a certain Mike Ditka ???
Then they would obviously win 158 to 10.
But what if they were playing a team made up of 5 mini Ditkas?
What if he had Mike Ditka, but the doors were open and the humidity inside and slight wind tunnel created telepathy between the other coach and Coach Wooden? THEN, what would you have?
What if da Bears were to enter the Indy 500, with coach Ditka driving the team bus, who would win then?
I know we are watching him and Jack Owens has had a lot of contact with him . But generally speaking each ast. coach will have a handful of fringe players they watch to see how they develop . Kid can play but a 6'7 center would have a tough road to travel in the B1G TEN . He just transferred to Atascotita this year I know little about him other than this HS season .
We recruited him as a PG he played PG at North Central and shot really well . I think it was easier to move him to the 2 guard because he had the size but he was a top 50 player as a PG .
I think it is safe to say that the bears would lose and that is supported by much empirical evidence in that scenario. Now if that happened in teh Daytona...all bets are off
Oh I understand his potential contributions. He was a tough kid, but ended up at Purdue more effective inside the lane than out. when you are ranked as high as he was and have been successful in high school it is easy to have pro aspirations and THAT would only happen at a 1. I hope Ronnie's situation with Purdue doesn't have a negative effect on Mitchell with Purdue since that school will always have talent. On this team TJ would offer some attributes that would be helpful like tenacity and his vertical game...
I'm pretty sure Mitchell and Painter are still tight. The biggest loss was the split with Smith-Rivera although I'm not sure he and Painter would have had any better relationship than Matt had with Ronnie.
I hope so. I just remember him in the stands Ronnie's last game and him smiling as Ronnie was blowing by people and talking to the guy beside him. Hard to believe that in 1986 he was sitting on the Hamilton Heights bench as an asst. varsity coach and to see the talent he gets now.
Lot of good coaches out there and things don't fall together for...same with D1 I'm sure.
