Hearing some positive things on Mirk's recovery/timeline.

I think the expectation is that he plays the first game of the season.

Everyone knows Torvik's player rating system is PORPAGATU (or PRPG!). Definitely not BPM.

Boyd + Blackwell = 10.7
Boswell + Wagler = 10.9
Smith + Loyer = 9.9
Sandfort + Hoiberg = 8.9
Thornton + Mobley = 11.2

Your also completely ignoring the eye test. They could both be game wreckers, who could both take over a game (we saw it pretty clearly against Illinois).

They were both All BIG. All the duos you have - only one was All BIG.

Domask and Shannon is the only legitimate argument I've heard so far. It's TWO guys who can go win you a game.
PRPG! is offense only. If you add PRPG! and D-PRPG, you get:

Sandfort + Hoiberg = 18.8
Boswell + Wagler = 18.7
Thornton + Mobley = 18.6
Boyd + Blackwell = 17.8
Smith + Loyer = 17.4
