Sometimes the obvious is so hard to see

If it was a snake it would have bit you. There's a number of like-minded sayings and such are ever so true with a comparison Chris Murray of the Reno Gazette-Journal made a while back.

"...Babbitt's the closest thing to a bigger Chris Mullin I have ever seen. He's a great passer, shooter and mid-range scorer, and if he was from Los Angeles or New York he would be more of a household name. Babbitt originally committed to Ohio State, changed his mind and is staying home, and he will be the next lottery pick out of Reno..."

We just never thought of this and don't know why. Babbitt = Mullin and it is ever so apparent. Babbitt is obviously taller and larger but their 'games' are similar. Neither is/was tremendously athletic but still does and did fine. There is/was a cerebral-ness to both players. Both are also lefties.

Thank you Chris.
