What kind of quicks does Tre Norman have?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Goose, last night was a victory to be celebrated for all time. Now, this team, this year, has questions that can only be answered over time. They aren't new questions. Will Kolek do better this year when Big East defenses play him for the pass?Can Oso hold up down low? Will he get consistent help?How will MU adjust when teams start posting Sean up?Can MU consistently shoot well enough from 3?What will BEast coaches do to MU and how will MU counter?Give the other coaches credit. They have film on MU and are already planning. Just like Shaka.None of these are criticisms. This is a team being led by juniors and sophomores. If MU has positive answers to all of the questions, it will be fun. I know last night was.
Ben Gold is also developing nicely and you can see him gaining confidence. He is going to be a really nice addition. Last night he looked like he was enjoying himself, which is a very good sign.But, the development of Sean Jones and Chase Ross is really way further along than we expected. They both look very comfortable in their roles. I agree that having the two of them on the floor together is fun to watch, and we will undoubtedly see more of it. Cannot wait for Chase's shot to start dropping more frequently, which will come. Was also glad to see Sean last night looking for more assist opportunities.
Jerel McNeal type athlete. His game is based more on body control than pure speed or above the rim play.Zaide Lowery, on the other hand, is an explosive athlete like Chase Ross. Al Amadou is also a great athlete. A different skillset than Oso, but that type of athleticism.
towerShaka has ice water in his veins when it comes to lineups on the court. His confidence in putting different lineups on the court is a big part of his system. He gets guys a lot of minutes and it is different look multiple times a game and it is hard to scout that type of system, IMO.
Jones reminds me of Travis Diener
Jones reminds me of Derrick Wilson on speed.
This is quite fair, it's just one game. You certainly can't expect teams to kick it away 16 times for 24 points in a half. That said I saw a controlled agression last night which was a huge positive. O-Max in particular attacked with much better balance and footwork, used the shot fake and pivot foot, and destroyed Baylor's will once he added the 3-Ball.
Please don't disparage Sean like this. The only thing in common between Derrick and Sean is physical strength. Sean's defense, offense, and impact are light years ahead of Senior Year Derrick.
Stop it. Derrick Wilson was a fantastic defender, that's not a disparagement at all. Sean's offense is light years ahead of Derrick's.
Any of the Big 3 as freshman would’ve been our best player this year (assuming health for Wes). Freshman Markus would be this team’s best player. Ellenson by far would’ve been our best player. Justin Lewis was a freshman eligibility wise last year and would’ve been by far our best player.
Derrick was a very good defender, yes. Sean is absolutely elite.
