I hate the fact heron and LJ are always brought up in same breath. Heron was one of most overrated players I
Heron was a two-time second team All-SEC player. He was the leading scorer on a 4 seed tournament team and was a 5* recruit too. His play dropped as he went from Pearl to Mullin to Anderson. I believe most reasonable people would agree that -- from an offensive perspective -- that list of coaches goes from best to worst and that there is a big gap between Pearl and the next two.
If LJ didn't play this year the book on him to most fans would have been a one-year wonder or a guy that couldn't handle being a #1 or #1B scoring option. He's averaging over 16 pts per game and leading Oregon in rebounding the last two months. He and Duarte are 1A and 1B.
You don't think Heron would have been an absolute stud if he played at Texas Tech or Creighton?
