Carlton

[HanDurley]

This might be premature as I am rage posting this right after he got blocked when no one was within five feet of him...but he puts my emotions on a damn roller coaster. Please for the love of god just dunk the ball.

 

[3RingsCT]

He’s been terrible tonight

Any idea why Jones sat out so much of the second half?

Travel. Check.

 

[UConnMike04]

Carlton killing us...plays soft. 2 shots and ball and misses free throw, etc.

 

[3RingsCT]

AGAIN....he’s been a major problem tonight. Don’t like the flow in OT

 

[AdamaNation]

Vitals worst game in 2 years.

he has been horrible - gosh he missed so many opportunities ! They kept on trying to feed him and he looks so slow and inept !!!

 

[3RingsCT]

they let this one slip away. Where is Vital??!

 

[uconntoatl]

There are 40 year olds I play pick up with that move faster in the post than him

What happened to his left hand?

 

[Jaybo]

He try’s but we definitely need to upgrade. Carlton should be a backup center. Whaley should graduate and find a job away from basketball.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

I have not given up on Carlton.
I want him to go up stronger, DUNK, and improve free throws.
He's improved elsewhere.
No guarantees.

At some point it just doesn’t happen. He’s a junior

Shows flashes of a quality big man... but typically plays with extremely weighted down legs and slow motion

 

[LIuconn]

Soft. Period

To me this is his biggest problem, it’s like he’s stuck on the ground on so many plays. But he’s a very good getting off the ground quickly and tipping the ball back in that he misses. Those two shouldn’t go together and it makes him frustrating as hell on nights like tonight

The dude has no athleticism. He doesn't explode off the floor so I understand not turning and flushing it instantly but he needs to make up for his physical limitations with QUICK THINKING and good decision making which he does neither atm. A simple pump fake and lay in or dunk would've netted him an easy two. He took too long then looked to lay it in. Hes got to make his moves a lot sooner because to me its like he processes things slowly.

Talked to a xavier fan after the game who thought he was the best player on the floor for either team tonight. Just some perspective.

 

[Balker]

He’s not quick enough. Doesn’t finish well. Can’t pass. And he isn’t particularly bright. But... you can tear every college player apart for the most part, especially centers.

He follows his shots well, he works hard on both ends of the floor, sets a decent screen, and he’s big enough and strong enough to stick with just about anyone.Two years out from KO’s exodus, we’re lucky to have someone like him.

 

[ConnEd]

Wondering if the added weight/muscle in the upper body has robbed some of his jump? He seems glued to the floor. No way Freemantle should have blocked him twice.

Either Xavier fans are very nice or very dumb. Just some perspective
