[QUOTE="dbeverly26, post: 1409552, member: 515868"] People are insulted because it's insulting to be told that you're incapable of independent thought. It shouldn't require any deeper digging to explain it, but you seem like you're smart enough to get that, right? In re: of Henry, you are technically correct that he played in the NBA. What he didn't do was play at a particularly high level in college. Even as a senior he only put up 13 and 6, though it was a good 13 and 6. But I can't agree that he's a guy you look at and say, "wow, how did we miss the tourney with HIM on our roster?" The point that late Weber/Groce teams underperformed is something I agree with, but there's a pretty wide gulf between 'we consistently oozed NBA talent' and 'we shoulda won a couple more games and gotten in.' Obelix has done a better job of talking through that general point than I will, so I'll drop it. Sorry to go OT. I'll shut up now. [/QUOTE]
