RE: I stand corrected.
I'm sorry, but the only thing your were right about is that you don't really know enough to have an opinion. Here is what you got wrong;

1. Harding is slow and not shutting down anyone on defense. Wrong on both counts. Harding is very quick for his size, so quick that Pope often put Harding on the other team's go to player, he often guarded the best player whether that player was a point guard (Jordan Ford) or a power forward (Malik Fitts).

2. Harding certainly never took it to the hole off the dribble. Wrong again, Harding was good at both slashing to the basket with the ball and generating a back-door cut to the basket for a dunk.

3. Averette (even though you admit that you have never seen him play) because his stat's are underwhelming. Well you missed on this one as well. Did you see the quote from Jake Toolson on Averette who was on the last UVU team Toolson played on; He said something like this, Averette was the best player on that team (which included Toolson) and he added that Averette was so good that nobody else on the team (even Toolson himself) was even close. (Just a note; when you see him play you will see that his lightening quickness and speed will just jump off the screen at you, and [lucky for us] he prides himself on his quickness to shut down the team's other point guard).

4. As for Corey Kispert, the post you are commenting on was talking about backcourt players who dribble, assist and who bring the ball up the court - Corey Kispert is a Small Forward who does none of those three things. He is a great shooter but not a player who is bringing the ball up the court and assisting others.

5. Ayayi or Averette - I'll go out on a limb, having seen both of them play extensively...Averette will have a much better 2020-21 season than Ayayi in all of the following ways; better stats in assists, better stats in assists to turnovers, better stats in shooting % from 3 point range, better stats in steals and Averette will on the All-Conference 1st team, Ayayi will not be on any of the All-Conference defensive teams.

If your going to be snarky ("because it comes naturally") try knowing what you are talking about.
