i'm not saying that he's not good. what i am saying, however, is that he is the most overrated player this year and in no way belongs in front of a lot of players. he is not quick, cannot jump, plays short, is very weak, and has an average shooting form at best. although, what he has in spades is court awareness.
he may turn out to be a very good player by the time he graduates, but the rankings from scout and rivals are evaluations of the players as they are now. there is very little about calathes that i've seen that would lead me to rank him ahead of, say, diebler--let alone a great number of other players.
i agree that "no way no how" should calathes be ranked ahead of koufos. that is an absolute joke. i think the same can be claimed when contrasting calathes to almost any other player in the top 25.
