    Well deserved! Will never forget the 3 he hit in Memphis against Dayton which he ran off into the tunnel at halftime.

    I was in the Orlando Arena watching us against Pitt in the subregional, and Scottie nailed a really long 3 as the first half ended. The dude was Mr. Clutch when you needed a basket.

    SWs development as a Gator was a joy to watch. That team was a joy to watch!

    Congrats Scottie!

    Scottie should have had a very long career in the NBA. He definitely did his thing overseas, though.

    And should!
    He and Pullin in my opinion are the two best guards I’ve seen at UF

    I would put Jason Williams at the top of the list, but with a richly-deserved asterisk.

    Okay. You're entitled to your opinion. But you should have been there at the Orlando Arena to see the move he put on FSU. I've never seen a Gator EVER do anything remotely as jaw-dropping. Even David Copperfield would have been stumped by it. And Jason did it as a sophomore. In a gross miscarriage of basketball justice, the zebra couldn't reconcile what he'd just seen with his past experiences and called Jason for a travel. The replay showed he got it wrong. We were furious.
    Also, please take into account that the team surrounding Jason was nowhere near as talented as the teams surrounding Scottie and Zyon. Opponents could focus on stopping Jason.

    2 things :
    He was called for a travel
    That’s a weak comparison of what Scott and Z had around him . Jason Williams got better with age but he was a turd at UF . He would tell ya that.

    The travel call was wrong. Scott and Z DID have much better talent around them; I don't know why anyone would dispute that. And of course Jason got better. But he was still great in an abbreviated stint at UF.

    Jason was really good but saying great is an injustice to
    Pullin
    Scott
    Moten
    Greene
    Cross

    and yes my friend it was called a travel… just like when I knew I threw for strike 3 and the blew missed , next pitch dinger .. when down as a HR not a K.

    I don’t think anyone who was here for less than a season should be in the hof.
