Cam Spencer

He’s been awesome - and a steal. Wonder if Bill Self is kicking himself.

Spencer was better than Timberlake at a way better school last year so it shouldn’t be much of a comparison to begin with.

UConn fans should also stop ragging on Timberlake. He’s getting tormented by his own fans enough already. UConn turned out more than fine so I don’t see the sense in kicking the kid while he’s down. I personally hope he turns it around and makes Kansas fans feel bad for jumping down his throat in November.

The people who don’t get the karmic implications of stuff like this amaze me. It would be classic Boneyard for him to hit 7 threes on 12/1.

Yeah. I mean we also have idiots calling Clingan, the guy who had a top 5 BPM in the country as a freshman and won a natty last year, an “elephant”. We could play our next home game on a Native American burial ground and our karma would improve.

Agree. Furthermore, Timberlake was taken as a shooter. Shooter's are typically streaky. So critics beware. Jordan H, J Cal, went through some bad streaks as I recall. UConn will have it's hands full with KU at Allen FH. UConn is the better team and Spencer is the better get, but....

Nan, please be careful with headlines that just give a player's name. With all that's been happening to both our women's and men's programs vis a vis injuries, I was holding my breath that this post wasn't going to say that Cam got hurt!

The hating on Timberlake is weird. Kid knew he had limited pro prospects and opted to make as much money as he could to set himself up for a great future. Y'all act like we didn't give Spencer a bag to come here too.

 

[HuskyNan]

I’m hating on the TwitterX Kansas fans, not Timberlake. I don’t wish the kid any ill will. I do think Cam Spencer has been a tremendous pickup

Exactly

 

[Waquoit]

I can't feel that bad for Timberlake. When he's feeling down he can just take to the open road.

One of them is probably going to win a title. Hoping it's Spencer

Love it.

Agree with commenters on the topic. Watched the game til 1245 ET, didn’t finish, but Kolek looked like a point god.

He was good last year and he’ll be good this year. Whoever guards him will have their hands full.

Isky Cam is running on all cylinders. Love it

 

[SwampYankee]

It just wouldn't be a Boneyard thread if we didn't get a bunch of "well, akshully's" from the usual suspects. If it's okay with ya'll, I'll just keep on hating on dudes who choose to play for Bill Self.

Yeah, or pulling his hair…off.

He also didn’t like his steak

He is 25, not a kid.

Meanwhile Cam Spencer is playing the 2/3 as well as it can be played. The seasoned veteran, playing 25-30 minutes a game, is glue for us on the court with a steady and heady impact on every part of the game. I want to compare him to Neils Giffey with what he brings to the team effort.

Spencer is a coach on the floor, like Karaban. Whatever he lacks in sheer athleticism is made up for in smarts. And BTW he shoots pretty good.

And a guy you can count on to close out games at the free throw line.
