A little confused on the Goodman quote.. Would he rather have a great shooter that can make them? Or not a good shooter that can make them?? Nowell is more than adequate in his ability to do a variety of things to help his team win.. He was not brought here to be a sniper.. But he can still make them..

I don’t care about Goodman, but this tweet? Seems fair enough.

I feel it's just that usually when you say "not a great [something]" you're not trying to say "just below great." You're usually saying "a bad [something]" while trying to sound less mean.

If he didn't mean for it to be possibly taken that way, he should reread stuff before he tweets it.
 

WHO IS THE BEST FACILITATOR YOU SAW IN JULY?​

“I continue to be impressed with the entirety of Ahmad Nowell’s game, but I thought he showed some improved court vision running with Team Final this July. I watched him rattle off an 18-point, seven-assist performance at Peach Jam, and the stats, gaudy as they are, might still undersell his effect on that contest. The UConn commit did a great job of limiting turnovers while still being creative with the ball in his hands this summer, and he announced himself as one of the better facilitators in the class.” - Cassidy

Or you misinterpreted his comment and he didn’t write anything negative.

For example, that wasn’t a great post by you, but you write good ones occasionally.

I have a hard time believing that. He had a dislocation sophomore year that didn't require surgery. The Jordan game was when he dislocated it badly and things went downhill from there.

Rique went absolutely ballistic his junior year (watch the game vs Tatum!) and his ranking rose to 5*.

Yes better than rj. Rj was a score first and decent distributor. Could not readily get a good shot at end of games. In all fairness he did not have the supporting cast. We are looking more and kemba or shabazz here, not rj 2

Obviously I hope he turns into kemba or shabazz, but RJ was first team all Big East his senior year, that’s an ideal outcome for a small guard.

Again, nice player with no tournament wins. All big east not my barometer. Again, no knock on rj, just expecting much more. Time will tell but will be surprised if i am wrong. Key to the class.

RJ is the one player that we can't blame for the no tournament wins thing. He was dominant in the 2nd half against NMSU.

I don’t blame him, it was a team effort. Mostly on hurley.

Ah yes, comparing him to arguably the two greatest Husky guards of all time. The BY's favorite pastime.
