I noticed that he expected things to also change once all the teams start the Big Ten season. I don't think there is going to be a big drop off for Drew or Raymar just because our competition has been fairly good during the non conference season so far.

the thing I was most intrigued by was Suton's ranking in many of those categories - especially the turnover one. That has obviously been the key to his improvement, especially considering the main knock on him has always been his seeming lack of intelligence with the ball. Good to see that he has turned that around in a way that is reflected in the statistics.

 I was going to say the same thing. Our snow looks more like flurries than the stuff he's got going on.

Just so I understand, he makes a case that Raymar is the best player in the conference and you, as a Spartan fan, reply **** him? 
UncleLar is one of the most unbiased guys out there and one of the most knowledgable especially when it comes to stats backing up his theories. He even goes on to say he thinks DJ will be the best player after the season's over. I think he was more surprised that Raymar was ahead of both DJ and Gordon. It was probably a little eye opening which is the point of his blog.
Raymar is kind of an under the radar guy right now because he didn't have any hype coming into the season as he was probably a little slowed by the stress reaction last year.
Ask any fans of other B10 teams who MSU's best player is and I bet 9/10 say Drew. You should be glad there is someone out there putting out some positive pub for Raymar.

While I agree with your comments, any fan who watches Big Ten basketball when asked your final question would say that Drew is our best player, but we would be nowhere near where we are without Raymar.
I fully expect both guys to be FIRST TEAM all Big Ten this year.

I completely agree with that and I think that's was the point of UncleLar's post. I think the fact that Suton has started to really play well is also huge for you guys.

Seems you had trouble following my logic in the series. You were supposed to be surprised that Morgan was ahead of Gordon not Claxton, You must have been blinded by the fact that it was a Penn State site.
Oh I almost forgot...
The same to you too.
