I am going to agree with Bob on this. We can theorize on who could be better, Earl vs Noah- that is the fun of these forums. But it should be clear we are talking about Noah’s potential and NOT current fact.

I guess facts are in the eye of the beholder.

At EMU his freshmen season, Earl Boykins averaged 12 5 ppg and shot 30 percent on three's. His sophomore year he averaged 15.5 points per game
and shot 34 percent on three's. In both seasons, Boykins shot less than 47 percent on two's.

In Noah's first season at EMU, he averaged 16.4 ppg in conference play and shot 47 on 2's and 40 percent of three's. Clearly, Noah's stats are far better than Earl's at a comparable stage in their college careers.

The game is completely different now than in the 1990's. I have no doubt Earl would be able to put up higher numbers playing in today's game.

EMU won 25 games Earl's freshman year and went 14-4 to win the MAC regular season. They won 10 total games in Noah's first year (which was his second year of college).

Noah is great. An absolute pleasure to watch. I'll be interested to see how this year goes when he is no longer the No. 1 option.
