I liked that Willie Warren but I remember the one from 2009-10. Smart seems to be a better teammate, better understanding of team. We'll see.
Sounding like and being one....who knows? Strange things can happen in the team dynamic. I think our entire program was falling apart at the seams in 2009-10, and not just because of Warren. Last part of that video, Warren had 29 points and there were a few other games when Blake was wearing shades on the sidelines that Warren also played in beast mode.
My overriding point is that wondering out loud if Smart can come in his Freshman year and make the same contribution as Warren did in his Freshman year isn't an insult to Smart that warrants some oSu fan getting all put out about it as an insult or something. If I had to guess, I'd say Smart will have a better college career, but that was never my original premise, it was whether Smart would be better as a Freshman than Willie Warren, much less Blake Griffin.
