Good take IMO. For me Shelstad is an above average PG who is inefficient at times offensively and undersized. He’s a former 4 star recruit who has played 3 years of college now and coming off an injury. Servicable but not a PG that leads a top 10 team. Whereas Diallo is also a former 4 star recruit who was a McDonald’s all American out of high school. Has good size and is a more complete player. He has only played two seasons with no injuries and played every game. Take the names away, look at the resume, efficiency numbers and overall statistics and it’s a no brainer Diallo every time. I’d love for anyone to show me a real argument for why Shelstad is better.

If Shelsted had signed with UK and Diallo UL, you'd be saying the exact opposite. You're nothing but a sunshine pumping hack. No one takes you seriously. I'm fine with someone being a dipshit but when said dipshit is convinced he's smarter than everyone else I have a problem with it. I still can't believe anyone takes you remotely seriously. You just aren't a serious person. Now get back to that golf game

I really hated to read that Zoom played all year without injuries. I have a bad feeling that he gets hurt this year. We always lose 1-2 players every year.

Diallo's freshman season was really lackluster so using career stats vs last season is an interesting choice without clarifying:

eFG% LAST SEASON:
Diallo - .517
Shelstad - .488

A/TO rate LAST SEASON:
Diallo - 1.8
Shelstad - 2.7 (much better in 25/26)

FT% - 82.5 vs 84.6, 3PT% - 31.5 vs 31.4, 2PT% 52.7 vs 51.6

Shelstad had a really good group of guards around him his FR and SO years in Couisnard, Bamba and Barthelemy - pulling his assist numbers down, but also keeping the pressure off him. In Yr 3, he was the clear primary guard and did much better, but also his shooting numbers dipped.

Evan Miya analytics for both. Like I said agree to disagree. We can have varying opinions and that’s fine, I trust true analytics everytime regardless of my eye test. In this case they both tell me Diallo is better overall. To each their own.
