Yeah I still have high hopes for him but not sure he is going to have the same impact that Stephon Castle is having due to his athletic ability. I know the ankle is probably impacting that on both his shot and his lift. He is having issues getting by people on the perimeter too. Just something to point out but he normally does have the best defender on him which he won't have in the NBA.
We have to get at least three proven transfers. Preferably four or five. At least we won't need to worry about recruiting them while we're still playing well into March lol
Same here.
He again looked overmatched, never got us into our offense, was way off on both free throws and basically dribbled out of control. Relatively speaking of course.
He has been good on D for the most part keeping his man in front of him and blocking shots. It's his offense that has really suffered this year due to his shot being off and not being able to consistently create stuff off the dribble. His handle needs to be tighter and he needs to get a mid range game.
Haha, no.
I think Duke beats them by 20. St. John’s is a flawed team that because of their defensive pressure, is rolling though a pretty bad big East. In the tournament, they may get called for way more fouls. Then what? A good team will steamroll them. I mean, you take away that crazy 8 point possession, this game could have been a lot different. And we aren’t a good team.
I thought Nowell did better today. Was able to make a couple nice passes espcially the one to Karban on the slip. Of course the turnover was trying to do to much and go one on one a bit an Hurley rightfully took him out. Too bad this learning wasn't being done at the beginning of the season and when it is almost over.
And Duke is rolling through a weak ACC. Remember an older SDSU beating Bama with 1 and done talent. Scheyer vs Pitino my money is on Pitino but I would put money on Cooper Flagg too we shall find out.
Not surprised, he was way underplayed this year, regardless of his still developing status
Reminds me bc of the poor roster construction. All of them were tough but were flawed due to composition.
No St. John's is not a team that will get past the first weekend as they won't be able to get with that kind of D and will foul out. It just shows you how bad we are this year that we couldn't even compete against them. They did hit a lot more shots than they normally do from outside but still St. John's doesn't impress me.
Duke would beat the brakes off those boys, I'm not buying the Big East at all this year
I agree started at Maui and I believe that Maui was was not a fluke. I had the bad feeling even back then that Maui was a bad sign of things to come and. not a good forecast of our future back then. Injury to Mcneeley stagnated his development and just confounded by what is really wrong with AK. And yes this team is flawed. That incessant three peat talk was no help and maybe a negative down side to motivation. It’s like maybe this “team” played as it they were entitled.
I agree this style of play won’t hold in Tourney…..
How’s this?
How do you forget the game was on? If you did, your post should be automatically deleted. This is the worst take ever.
Yeah i agree. Just too bad he didn't have a whole year to work on his game and develop more.
Yea I agree, the time for development was in the beginning of the season, he wasn't even playing enough against the cupcakes for me and now it's probably too late for that
I wouldn’t call it a no show. I do think SJU played harder, which should never be the case but seems to be with this year’s team. They need to play harder. Not sure if they have that mentality.
No lateral quickness
Agreed. He lack of PT early makes him useless right now.
That is 16 players for 15 Positions. I'm sure we will see a lot more movement in the roster than you think unless you think that outside looking in means thy might not be on our roster. Kind of silly since Furphy will get some minutes next year.
Johnnies will go a long way if they can keep shooting like that. Of course our game plan was to make them jump shooters and we accomplished what we set out to do
How is our collective looking? Do we have the nil to get 4 impact transfers?
