Vance getting hot

[Waquoit]

not trolling when I point out you're wrong, which is often the case. Vance has shot wide open 3s for airballs and off the side of the backboard, that's not poor shot selection, that's just shooting poorly. You're too old to be making homoerotic comments, act your waist size and grow up a lil bit.

You've gone from "always" wrong to "often" in your trolling of me. That's a good first step. Continued best wishes on your personal journey.

Glad Vance is feeling it. what is the area he needs work? Just wondering what people are thinking.

I feel like the 2 biggest areas are rebounding and defense. His shooting is fine, even with the lack of results. If he can improve his rebounding and defense he takes himself from being a key role player on next year's team to being a key player

Juwan has the biggest upside of the freshman and that's including Alterique. Durham looked pretty solid last night against UCF and the team plays better when he is in the game. If Enoch isnt playing well, Juwan should be earning more minutes when Brimah or Facey need a breather. We need Amida to keep playing well and keep improving his NBA stock.

Criticism of WHO was warranted? Vance didn't make those tweets, his dad did. So if you're saying the criticism of Vance warranted for tweets his dad made, I couldn't disagree more.

Makes zero sense to me why we had people here bashing Vance at the time his dad made those tweets, and we STILL have people holding a grudge against a kid for something he didn't even do! People were calling for him to transfer after HIS DAD'S tweets, which is insane because we have 8 healthy scholarship players and Vance has a bright future here.

Vance appears very passionate about being a husky and we have no evidence HE was considering a move anywhere. In fact, his dad's comments probably got to him and put him in a really awkward spot with his teammates and KO. So for that, I feel for Vance, that's a tough situation to be in. Glad the kid has been able to bounce back and he looks like a really promising player for us.

Nobody said it was vance's fault for his dads tweets. But the people who criticized his play were correct.

There's no doubt he wasn't playing well and you can be critical of aspects of his play. But there were posters in that thread making unfair long-term over-arching statements about his ceiling based on 10 games of his freshman year. Saying 'next' to Vance and fine with him transferring, which is beyond foolish when you see the team we're putting out there due to injuries.


But again, given he is a FRESHMAN who should have at best been a reserve role playing being thrust into a starting role and expected to produce... anyone would struggle in that scenario.

Yes, some people need to pick their words wisely, those people will eat it by the time he's a senior.

To be fair Vance actually echoed his dad initially but removed the tweet. That angered a bunch of posters. Agree that the best way to demonstrate maturity is not to employ these over-arching statements. But c'est la vie!
