Reconsidered.

I've never been a fan of Connecticut's Taliek Brown. Thought he was undersized, overrated and played without the discipline I had come to expect of a Husky point guard.

I've always thought Chris Duhon was highly overrated. Never impressed by the Dukie, I quickly tired of Dickie V's rants and raves.

But along case Stewart Mandel's latest: "Point taken. UConn's much-maligned PG sets the record straight in title game." A nice tribute to Taliek's persona and accomplishments over a four year period.

The following paragraph caught my eye.

He [Taliek] and Duhon also had nearly identical statistics this season. Duhon garnered ACC player of the year honors; Brown received Big East honorable mention. Brown wound up setting UConn's all-time career assists record (428), averaging a school-record 6.5 his senior season, and won nearly three-fourths of the games he started.

Food for thought, eh? Either Taliek deserved less criticism than we sent his way, Duhon merited more, or both.
