fiji has thrown the Thames comparison out there for years - the fanboys used to get insulted by it. But the fact is that, even post-injury, KT was a heck of a player. Puryear has been a good tiger, but he's a role player (without a "true" role). Puryear needs to be a grinder for Mizzou this year - play good defense & battle for boards...he's not going to be a Kelly Thames (that's a fairly high bar.)

Please explain why this message is being reported.
