Devan Downey

**theVILLE** · 01-14-2010, 03:44 PM

Why does he not get his dues??i mean all you hear is Sherron Collins and John Wall...thats the only PG's people talk about...Well Downey leads the SEC in points with 20.1...and 3rd in the NCAA in steals with 3.3 and averages 4 assist a game..
Anyone else think this little guy deserves more than he gets

He's good, but more of a SG/Slashing PG. I don't think he translates well to the NBA, could be wrong though. Too small for SG and not good enough distrusting the ball to play PG.

Wow i like him just as much as sherron collins myself..I think he is behind wall at the top PG...imagine him on a team with god players surronding him..I like him alot though...he is a perfect example of size doesnt matter

But size does matter at the next level! And that's why I don't think he is very good.

are you sure it does...Muggsy Bouges and brandon jennings..Jameer nelson and Eddie house...Derek Fisher and Tj ford??alot of small talent there

**theVILLE** · 01-14-2010, 03:58 PM

In his performance in college does he not deserve more credit than he get??

You named a whole bunch of guys that are role players. Good list. If Downey just wants to be a role player good for him. If you're happy with that as well congrats.

Yes sir. And I'm happy with that. He gets the PT he deserves. He doesn't have amazing athleticism. He gets in, hits his shots, plays good D and lets people get rest.

I never said downey was going to be an MVP or lead an NBA team to a title..he is in college and based on his performance that he has 4 years in a row now..does he get the credit he deserves..

**Stardust** · 01-14-2010, 04:10 PM

One of the quickest quards in the college game. His stats are similar to Curry's and yet he does not get the same accolades. Curry was not an assist guy, yet he was the favor of all college fans. Davidson was pretty mediocre last year, didn't hurt Curry.

Sowney should be getting alot more..most exciting guard to watch and my favorite to watch

John Wall is the most exciting player in college basketball, sorry but I have to greatly disagree bout Downey being exciting.

You should really listen to sports radio talk outside of Louisville, John Wall is considered by many experts the BEST and most exciting guard in college. Back to the topic...

You are dead-on PC, there is no one in the game better than Wall, maybe only a couple in the NBA. But I think you may be little hard on Downey because of who you are bantering with :biggrin:

Downey is that good. Good enough to be getting national attention, that for some reason no South Carolina player ever gets. I watched this kid a UC several times. He is one of the quickest athletes in the game. How that transpires into the NBA, only Ville likes to make those assumptions :biggrin: I could really care less how he does in the NBA, I just know in college Basketball, he is probably top 5 and likely only second to Wall (though that is a LONNNNNGGGG second)
