Sidney Wilson vs. Lafayette

[Hurleyman216]

I've watched every game. You used to coach high school basketball, bully for you. Never said Jalen Adams sucks in big games. Great post other than that.

Were you at the Garden when Polley got destroyed by Cook?

You realize Polley only played 20 minutes against Iowa because of foul trouble right? And he wasn’t guarding Cook the whole time he was on the floor. This is D1 basketball. Elite players are going to have nights where they look like NBA stars. Overall, Polley has been one of our better defenders. I’m not saying he’s perfect but he’s light years ahead of Wilson based on what we’ve seen so far. Wilson has more upside and is more athletic. This is the same discussion others are having on Cobb vs. Carlton. There’s a reason Cobb had almost a double double in the first half and sat for most of the second half. And there’s a reason we played better than AZ in the second half. I wouldn’t expect someone like you to be able to pick up on these intricacies, but if you don’t understand what you’re watching you should just sit back and maybe not act like you know everything.

What have we seen from Wilson? He's barely been on the floor. This is like people talking about how much better Diarra is than some of our other bigs.

My seats are 7 rows from the court and I used to coach high school basketball,

But how many cellphones do you own?

If you’re expecting our skinny sophomores to lock down B1G upperclassmen averaging 15 and 8 and our lead guards to be Kemba/Shabazz level right now, this is gonna be a miserable season or two for you.

Cook torched him, I like Polley but as Intlzncster points out he hasn't shown the footspeed to really stay in front of 3's and he just doesn't have the strength to deal with any sort of loads in the paint. Expecting our lead guards to be Kemba/Shabazz level is just a silly comment.

Does anyone have an idea why tonight's game is at 6pm? Doesn't seem to make much sense to me unless there's some secret event in the XL center later that night

I can’t tell you what is happening, but wear one of these:

We've seen very little playing time but I think a lot can be gleaned from those minutes, his talent is evident. There obviously will be a fair amount of growing pains but the rewards could be really big because of his upside, he's the best athlete on the team IMO. Diarra is a different deal, I think we have a decent understanding of what he can give us if he is ever healthy.

HARDOOOOOOOOOOO

He coached high school basketball and now he thinks he's Pat Riley, we all know the type.

Players with intrinsic talent have to get floor time to improve and that’s Sid.

Seems it's Sid and Jalen as of now.

The comment was that Wilson is light years behind Polley defensively. Seems like a stretch given the minutes he's played.

You're projecting.

Alterique too, don't let the last game and all the rust fool you.
