how many points has Phil scored this year?

[3rdbass]

Don't think we win a NC w/o him last year. Even w/o St.Joe's
All the announcers gush over him. Not sure why you are so negative.
To me he is one of our top 2 or 3 returning.
Cocky? No. Intense, good teammate

I think AB is a good college player is what people are trying to say. As far as him being a legit NBA prospect the verdict is still undetermined. If he were to leave now he wouldn't get drafted with his lack of strength, rebounding and possessing no post game at all.

Let's see what a full off season will accomplish. He unfortunately didn't have that luxury last year to get better due to the operation on his shoulder. He isn't a bad player just a good player that has potential if he can work on his skills and strengths in the off season.

On a boards per minute basis, Facey is the closest thing to a rebounding big in the program.

PN 392 46 8.5 min per board
AB 799 144 5.9 min per board
RK 109 20 5.5 min per board
Kelis Fisher 655 160 4.1 min per board

If you want to include Dan Hurley as a big, he and Kelis Fisher are in a virtual tie.
Dan Hurley 925 228 4.1 min per board

I don't need stats to know he has gone dramatically backwards since early season and to even compare him and DHam is not close. DHam is a very good rebounder and proven even while also passing, shooting from 3 and ball handling which means he is not always near the rim and still is twice the rebounder. The other guy needs to do nothing else and hasn't been able to do so in quite a while, consistently. Stats obviously mean very little here, eye test is the deal.

This thread is insulting, nothing to do with me, the incessant bashing of Phil. The whole compliment of 4-5s is terrible, why single out Phil is my basic point.

Brimah has the most potential of the group, we all acknowledge that, but he's got so many weaknesses, many more than his strengths.

Do you wanna know why this thread is insulting? Because of you. Don't call US out for saying this thread is insulting when you're in here posting stuff that Brimah is "not a good basketball player" or "relevant." Do you even know what "relevant" means? Brimah helped win us a championship last year. We don't sniff the Final4 without him. That makes him very relevant. He's a sophomore and already a top 3 defensive center in the NCAA. But he's not "relevant"? And you're telling us that the thread is insulting?!

Honestly... how old are you?

Calling players "awful, terribly, embarrassing" etc. isn't insulting, but this thread is?

God I love this place. Such rich irony.

You mean last year's FF when he played like a total of 22 minutes? He's just not good. He's very cocky on the court when he makes any sort of play, which is rare unless he is playing RPI teams > 100 and weak front courts. It's borderline insulting, and does he realize just how silly it is and just how bad he is against quality teams and opponents. Does he remotely realize the NBA players are strong and athletic.

TIL it is insulting to celebrate a play unless you can do it against NBA players. I better go tell all the guys at my local pick up game.

Dont let this fool be considered a representation of the board.

Nah man, that's him being realistic; something we should all emulate.

He's not a fair representation of the forum as a whole, but he is the quintessence of what this board can become. A true exemplar of the uberd0uche tendencies some posters at times simply lash out with. But with him, it's 24/7, every single post.
