Message: [QUOTE="Aargh, post: 3492363, member: 8066"] WSU fan here. Tyson Etienne is all in for next year and he's a shooter/maker. Around 40% from 3. Two players who transferred wanted to be "the guy". If Etienne was actually going to be "the guy" if he had his hands on the ball, that might explain why we had a lot of guards (no longer on the roster) whose first thought was to get a shot off if they got their hands on the ball. To give some perspective, in one close game where the Shox were trying to hold on to a lead late in the game, Stevenson shot every time he got his hands on the ball in the last 3 minutes. He never made a pass. No one else took a shot in the last 3 minutes. Stevenson made 0 shots in those 3 minutes. Marshall had several "hero ball" conversations with the team. Stevenson's game went completely off the rails after his antics in your gym. I'm confident he got an ass-chewing for disrespecting an opponent's fans and gym. He went into a major pout and had incredibly bad body language for weeks. Dexter Dennis was a good shooter his Fr year, but struggled this year. If that was due to the locker room issues and he returns to form, he can hit from deep. Trey wade is "adequate" at 32% as a PF. Then we have a mystery man. 6'10" Fr who took a redshirt due to being raw and some injuries. He can shoot 3's. He's shown a crossover going to a step-back 3 that he can hit. The question is whether he actually "knows" how to play ball at the level needed. We had two perimeter guys with daddy issues. One of the daddys was in regular contact with Marshall providing guidance on how to best use his son. The other daddy was on social media going on and on about how Marshall was mistreating his son. Too many players stacked in the same positions in classes too close together and too many players who were the self-appointed go to guy caused some locker room factions. It's pretty easy to see which players were in which factions. [/QUOTE]
