    Just said he thought Big Baby was the best big man in the country.

    He definitly has a a good resume to support that.

    Sheldon Williams and LaMarcus Aldridge should proably be considered as well.

    As a Duke fan I have to say that Shelden Willams is one of the most overrated basketball players in the country. He averages less than 10 rebounds per game, 18.5 points per game, more turnovers per assists. For his career he averages only 13.4 points per game, only 8.79 rebounds per game, and 2.56 turnovers per assist.

    If Williams was at any other school he would not be even mentioned as a great player and it only goes to show you how being decent at a great basketball school cna push you into the "greatness" category.

    He'd score more if he wasn't playing second fiddle to the best player in the country. Also, he's probably the best defensive big man in the country. He deserves to be in the conversation.

    He'd score less, because he would be doubled constantly...

    Thank you very much!

    Big Baby IS the best BIG man in the country, because there are so few huge basketball players.

    I think I watched the best big man in college on a channel other than wafb tonight. Tyler Hansbrough.... He is amazing and only a freshman. 40 points will only elevate his average of 18.0 a game and he had 10 boards to go with it.

    what a joke. glen is skilled, but cannot play great D because of lack of height AND hops. he can also be handled by good defender with height ( again because of height and lack of hops). maybe in two years as he learns how to handle attention and taller post players--and he'd still not be a great defender.
