Good for Josh, things are clicking! I for one am being proved wrong.

I’d like to see him do it against the better big east schools but his improved play is always welcome. Weight loss seems to have helped his confidence and movement

How about the people that said “go back to URI” to Martin? Lol

Mau, if this is the Martin we get consistently going forward - we become a serious threat. In the Big East, and then well into the tournament.
With his size and athleticism, he is the one I want to see become the definitive Wing Man to Bouk's leading man role. Watching them play off of each other just now was a thing of beauty to see...

Didn't someone start a thread saying Carlton should transfer mid-season after the first 2 games? Who was that?

There is only ONE POSTER on this board that gets to have an "I told you so" thread on Carlton, and it isn't anyone else in this thread.

Yep. It was one of the best threads I ever started.

Don’t be greedy. I agreed with you in that thread. Josh showed Sophomore year he is a very advanced scorer in the paint. We have just misused him and screwed him up. Best interior defender we have too. Dan needs to stop asking him to hedge.

Is It possible for a player to win most improved player twice in their college career?

Josh is what he is. He is not a great athlete but he does the stuff we need a big man to do.
Agree on the hedges.

He isn‘t a great athlete. But the skills of back to the basket scoring are a lost art. He has them. Very few opponents have any real idea of how to stop those old Kevin McHale era moves. I don’t know who taught Josh that stuff, but somebody did.

Agree. I just like seeing more big lineups with this team. I loved when Carlton and Whaley were on the court together. They owned the paint on defense.
A mostly good game from him. Vacuumed the boards. Decent on defense. Couple nice post ups. But a bunch of mental/awareness/skill mistakes as per usual (Didn't look for the Cole pass, threw an unforced outlet pass error, missed a bunny by 2 feet).

Wrong. He is good, he's just not great. Josh is an important piece for Hurley and the Huskies. He is the best true center on the team. And right now, Sanogo looks like a project.

Whaley and Carlton played 2 minutes together and we were outscored 3-2. Carlton looked great though

It is hard to be the interior defender if there is not another forward on the court. The help/box responsibility is very tough for 1 guy to do by himself. Whaley + Carlton were excellent defensively
