Wake Forest Game THread

FIrst post. lets go

 

[bmayuc]

So Tyler Olander through 4 minutes: 3 missed layups, 1 foul, 2 rebounds off hands out of bounds. HOLY CRAP kid step it up.

 

[DoronElAmin]

immediate observations:

1. like Calhoun being aggressive.
2. shots not falling yet.
3. If Olander could do anything with his right hand he could be an NBA player

 

[UCweCONN]

Too much Olander so far. Playing like he thinks he's the center of the offense. Please stop...

 

[DoronElAmin]

Boatright looks a little flustered so far.

 

[DoronElAmin]

Olander can do so many things on the floor. You see the dropoff with Enosch. Not communicating on the screen, throwing a bad pass, not seeing Calhoun wide open under the basket... Olander may force it sometimes, but the things he does otherwise are pretty impressive.

I suppose it depends on what you're referring to when you say "NBA."

 

[bmayuc]

Giffey bringing value. Hustle, defense, shooting. I like it.

 

[sledog]

Ok, I'll come over here.

Gif is kickin' butt.

 

[bmayuc]

Daniels is skilled, but has zero strength or ability to finish through any contact.

I mean the national basketball association. Not saying he could be a star or even a consistent player; there's not much room for 6 8 bigs in the NBA anymore. He is so skilled going to his left and has some great post moves, but because its all he can do, he gets shut down a lot. The guy has a great midrange jumper, is great at setting screens, is a superb passer, and has really improved his defense in the past two years. Not much wrong with his game really.

Other notes: Shabazz is frustrating. Misses two FTs and feels like he needs to bomb a three right away to redeem himself. Daniels still thinking he's a pg on the fast break.

Highly overrated coming out

Enosch has been making plays. TO is a blackhole

 

[uconNYC]

we've missed a bunch of chances. Should be up around 10.

We don't really have to throw that word around. But definetly needs to improve in that area

 

[husky91]

Wolf looks better, but is still awful

 

[James]

Those adjectives you're using are out of control , obscene. Olander is not that and I can't believe you really think so . Must have just starting watching basketball , I dunno , yesterday ?

Ok, if you mean the national basketball association then i disagree wholeheartedly. (And if he's related to you I apologize, I just can't believe you look at him and see an NBA player.)

 

[bmayuc]

Tyler works hard, but cannot finish around the rim or play above the rim. Tough to make a living in the NBA without those qualities

 

[bmayuc]

Phillip Nolan... just focus on playing defense and rebounding, ok kid?

missed layup and turnover yeesh

 

[UCweCONN]

Why did Bradley leave? It must really have been because of his sick grandmother. He could have had the middle to himself on this team.

 

[RayRay19]

by the time DD is done with UConn...he will def be in the NBA...kid has skill but his confidence(aggressiveness) is still not there...for a guy his size with his speed he should be getting to the rim at will against the other 4s

 

[Tenspro2002]

Facey had better be better than advertised, otherwise it's going to be a long next 2-3 years in the post.

 

[RayRay19]

where the hell is RJ...

 

[UConn Esq]

This is the most ive seen this team on tilt all season.
