1. He's not a Brave.
2. The team's record when he was at BU was 13-30.
2. No. Not even close.Onward and Upward!

Too short of a career thus far, no championship. Plus, as others have said, he is a NM player, not a Brave. Based on his time at BU and not what he has done since, he would be way down the list.Comment

You can see in the members section when someone signs up. BTW Granger quit on BU so how can he be in this conversation of the best. I wonder how he really feels about leaving. The passion that BU has for its team is head and shoulders above the Lobos. He is the best player that quit on us, I'll give him that.Originally posted by Beninator View PostHow do you know that it was a guy who signed up today?

Not by a long, long shot. Granger's pro career will never approximate Chet the Jet's and will likely never come close to Hawk either.
And, if you're considering solely college careers, he probably wouldn't be in BU's all-time top 20 or 30. Seriously.Comment

I agree SFP. Quitters do not deserve to be ranked. As for greatest BU player, IMO it is still Hersey Hawkins. Hawk has the class to go along with his obvious talent which is a rare commodity in professional sports these days.Originally posted by SFP View PostBradley 72 - Illini 68 Final

Danny Granger - Greatest player to have shafted BU...
As far as being the greatest BU player ever, I sure DG would think that...

Hersey Hawkins or Chet Walker are the best by far.
Danny Granger, Brave or lobo, has been a good player on a terrible team.
If you compare Hawk's first years in Philly, he put up quite the stat lines. Hawk averaged 20 points per game on playoff teams for 4 years or so, something Danny Granger wouldn't know about. After getting traded to Charlotte and then Seattle, he became a 3rd or 4th option on some pretty **** good teams.
Oh and he played in **** near every single game his team played.
Chet may have been a better player, but Hawk is just a great human being.
If you want a great Danny Granger comparison, Shareef Abdur-Rahim. A decent player on a bad team(because someone has to score) that is able to put up lofty stats. When Shareef finally got a chance on a good team, he was 6th man at best, averaging 10 a game.
And I think ,if AP had gone to a different situation when he was drafted, he would be in the conversation. Thanks Larry Brown, AI, and Stackhouse.Comment

Yeah, great comparison. Oh wait, never mind. From what I remember about the recent Team USA victory at the FIBA World Championships, Coach K wasn't stocking a whole lot of marginal 6th men on that squad...

Yeah, it must have been full of the best players in the world... Like LeBron, Kobe, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnet, Ray Allen, Carmelo Anthony, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Chris Paul, Amare Stoudamire, Tim Duncan... Oh wait, that's right, they only had 4 All-Stars and ZERO All-Star starters, that was nothing more than than a few NBA starters put on a team.Originally posted by Big Lance View Post"If you want a great Danny Granger comparison, Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

Danny Granger hasn't even made an All-Star team, whereas Shareef Abdur-Rahim made one. Shareef probably has a much better career to than Granger to date.Last edited by amckillip; 11-04-2010, 09:56 AM.Comment

I'd have to go with Chet.
A. He was a dynamic player who played in a slow paced era of basketball, his stats dont show it but what the stats do show is that his points per game average went up as he got older and the NBA became more reflective of the ABA. If he had played in primarily in the 70s, he would be a much more heralded player.
B. He played on one of the greatest teams in NBA history (1966-1967 Philadelphia 76ers) which some may see as an easy way to degrade his stats, but i like players who can play within a system that revolved on a team concept than being the lone good talent on a team (like Granger). Basically its harder to excel at team basketball then one on one basketball
C. He had to play with Wilt, the most selfish basketball player possibly ever, and he STILL got his points.
and
D. He is the first athlete to gain the nickname "The Jet"Comment

What does some world championship appearance have to do with the price of tea in china?
He was the 11th man on a 12 man roster.
Oh, and by the way, Shareef Abdur Rahim played in the actual Olympics! (2000 gold medal) Young Daniel won't sniff the Olympics in 2012 if Lebron, Dwayne, Kobe, or any actual superstar decides to play. If Olympic appearances mean squat in the grand scheme of things, then Christian Laetnerr better get ready for his hall of fame speach. What a weak argument.
Hersey Hawkins > Shareef Abdur Rahim > Danny Granger.Comment
