Headache game thread

Our kids seem so undersized. Anyone with any beef on their frame doesn’t have any definition. It looks like a light breeze would blow over anyone but Carleton, Williams or Diarra.
 
As I watched the game Memphis wasn’t running anything, they just beat us with back yard ball and you saw a pg in Martin who’s relentless n physical and just won’t be denied, we couldn’t get Jalen open which he was guarding him pretty much all game, recipe keep the ball outta Jalen hands and the offense will sputter, another guy got their career high on us again , but I thought Carlton did a great job, we gave him at least 3-4 bunnies
Seeing how Martin played is who I want our staff to recruit, dudes a baller,quick and he’s a buy in guy, last year he couldn’t hit a three so he worked on it, now every three he takes looks good off the release

And is either one playing in the NBA?

Jalen can go if he wants, but I can't recall the last time a player went to the D league out of college and had any kind of success in the NBA. Give Jalen another good guard to play with next year (Akinjo, maybe Gilbert) and bump Vital down to 3rd or 4th guard, and with continued development of the rest of the team, I see him having a much better year. All he needs is a little help, and I could absolutely see him getting drafted in the first round. That gives him a better shot at sticking in the NBA. DHam is basically averaging a triple double in the D league and he can't get a callup.

Hamilton played his first NBA game this week.

I would love Jalen back. I think he would benefit. Just making the point that "NBA ready " is not the factor it was 20 years ago in kids making decisions.

Dham has a two way contract from the thunder so he’s in good shape, so next year I believe he’ll have a permanent job in the nba
Purvis might be next in line to make a roster next yr as well, which he has a two way contract with the Magic I believe
But you can’t ask for Jalen to play all these mins and tell him to go score, be a facilitator, play d, and rebound with his only break being a media timeout.. that’s the part I’m frustrated about but if he think he should leave then hey

Yeah, but I guarantee you if he had stayed another year he would've gotten a much greater opportunity to play meaningful minutes. You don't hear about too many players lighting up the D league and moving on to a prominent role in the NBA. I feel like if Shabazz left to go to the NBA after his Junior year, he would've toiled in the D league for awhile, and who knows if he would've gotten a chance to play significant minutes in the NBA?

Carlton isn't emaciated looking like a couple of the others but he also doesn't appear to have any muscle.
 
We have the most unlucky coach in the world. I think the ex got a witch doctor to curse him or something.
 
We better have Larrier playing Saturday.

Getting to this a little late....

Larrier is not in the concussion protocol but they are holding him out of this game because.....?
Expand ...

Exactly. I was shocked when I beard he was being held put despite not being in the protocol. He isn't playing due to headaches? Really? I hope this isn't similar to when he was held out of the starting lineup against Coppin State, only to have it surface later that it was a disciplinary move.

None of that matters. If they have enough irrational self-confidence, they're doing it.

4 points and 3 rebounds per game coming off the bench in the AAC as a freshman, and he might've been a late 1st-round pick?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He's probably referring to him being on a couple 1st round mock draft boards back then.

Losing by 30 to Memphis, I understand losing a road game on a weekday esp with college kids dealing with school, but down 30 to a mediocre team like Memphis? What are we suppose to expect on Saturday vs the best team in the country ? Idk what to say anymore, Jalen Adams deserves better, I can't blame him for leaving to the NBA after this year.
Expand ...
The "D" league or over seas maybe......... The NBA, I don't see it.

yep, he was being projected on promise

What happened to that promise?

People keep saying we are bad this year because of youth and a lack of talent. Well, we were just as bad last year and last year we still had Senior Brimah, projected as an NBA prospect after his freshman year, senior Facey, a top 100 recruit, senior+ Purvis, a McD all-american, sophmore Adams, a top 50 and borderline 5 star recruit, sophmore Enoch, a top 100 recruit and some highly ranked freshman. People act like we had nothing left after the injuries to Gilbert (freshman) and Larrier but we had a ton and we were still awful. We weren't bad because of the kids that ran away from Ollie. The kids ran away because the situation is so bad.
 
Have you ever seen any word from him regretting not staying?[/QUOTE]

I dunno - ask him?
 
I just watched the replay of the Memphis game after only reading about it. Looks like the Huskies had no sleep the night before...low energy, no enthusiasm, lazy passes, air balls and bricks, tons of unforced turnovers. Out-muscled and out-hustled at every turn. Unreal.

don't shoot the messenger, I'm just telling u what was writen. There was also a huge jump on Deandre Daniels after that tournament and Ryan Boatright coming off a national title.

Not my intent at all. You were right. People in the know saw promise. It was never developed. We had a lot more talent and experience than the rest of the AAC teams last year, even after the injuries. Last year was horrific. This year is just chaos in the wake of last year. More "rats" will be jumping off this ship when the season ends.
